The technology of "Chicken Ramen" developed by Momofuku Ando in a humble shed behind his home involved rapidly drying noodles through flash-frying in oil. This method became the basis for production of all instant noodles.
His revolutionary "Cup Noodle" concept in which a single container serves as packaging, cooking vessel and serving dish was the basis for cup-type instant noodles. These two inventions by Momofuku Ando revolutionized culinary culture on a global scale.
