Instant ramen is a staple for people around the world, but how are Maruchan instant ramen noodles made? In this blog post, we’ll explore the process behind the production of these famous noodles.
Maruchan, a Japanese company, is the world’s largest producer of instant ramen noodles. Its production process consists of several steps, beginning with the selection of the finest ingredients, including wheat flour, palm oil, and salt. The wheat flour is then combined with water and oil in a mixer, before being kneaded to form a dough. This dough is then passed through a machine, which shapes it into Maruchan’s signature ramen noodles.
The noodles are then dried and packaged, ready for shipment to stores worldwide. After packaging, the noodles are kept at a low temperature, allowing them to maintain their freshness for longer. Finally, the prepared noodles are sent out for distribution and sale.
As you can see
are made with wheat flour, water, salt, and kansui, an alkaline water that adds elasticity to the noodles. First, the ingredients are kneaded together to make a dough. Next, this dough is rolled out and cut into thin noodles. The noodles are then steamed and are finally packaged after dehydration.
Introduction: How to Make the Best Maruchan Ramen Noodles
For the college students out there who simply need something unique and affordable to eat after the café closes, I thought I should share a recipe. You’ll need one package of maruchan ramen noodles flavored with chicken, a bowl, a fork, an egg, a microwave, crushed red peppers, chopped green onions, and ice.
Step 1: Place Bowl of Water in Microwave
Water should be added to the bowl until the top of the egg has about 1 cm of clearance from the surface. Afterward, put the water bowl inside the microwave and set the timer for 2 minutes. Be sure to act caution while dealing with warm water.
Step 2: Place Egg in Heated Water
Place the egg carefully in the bowl of water now that the water is warmed. Verify that when the egg settles, the 1 cm clearance is still there. To prevent a mess, place a plate on top of the bowl and turn the power to medium. Set the timer for 8 minutes and keep an eye out in case the egg should blow up.
Step 3: Place Egg in Cold Water
To make sure the egg is fully cooked, let it sit in the hot water for an additional 8 minutes after the initial 8 minutes have passed. Place the egg in a bowl of cold water and ice after carefully draining the hot water. Let it settle for about 15- 20 minutes.
Step 4: Place Noodles in Bowl of Water.
The noodles can now be made while the eggs are settling. Depending on the size of the bowl, remove the noodles from the package and add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water. To ensure smaller noodles, you can crush your noodle before adding it to the water.
Step 5: Cook Noodles for 4-5 Minutes
You should microwave your bowl of noodles for 3 to 4 minutes. Noodles should be fully cooked before being removed from the microwave because some microwaves cook food more quickly than others. When it’s done cooking, use caution because the bowl might be hot.
Step 6: Add Chicken Seasoning
After the noodles are fully cooked, discard some of the water so that the noodles can receive more seasoning. The seasoning packet that was included with the Maruchan noodles may now be added. Grab your fork and stir the noodles and seasoning thoroughly. This evenly distributes the seasoning in your noodles.
Step 7: Add Crushed Red Pepper
You can adjust the amount of crushed red pepper you want to use based on how much spice you like. Typically, 1/2 of a table spoon is sufficient to improve the flavor. You can add 1/4 of a table spoon if the taster prefers a milder kick.
Step 8: Add Chopped Green Onions
You can now add the finely chopped green onions to your noodles after stirring in the crushed red pepper. As previously mentioned, you can modify the amounts of chopped green onions you want to add based on your taste preferences. It can be anywhere between 1/4 and 1 table spoon, but I usually add about a 1/2 table spoon.
Step 9: Chop and Insert Egg
Your egg should be fully cooked by the time you’ve finished preparing your noodles. You can now chop the egg in a variety of ways after peeling it over a garbage can. You can prepare tiny, diced servings or anything else up to a half-egg. If the eggs are chopped into small pieces, pour them into the bowl of noodles and stir to ensure that everything is distributed evenly.
Step 10: Enjoy!
Make sure everything has cooled off after adding all the ingredients before serving. Compared to the typical noodle recipe, the egg in the noodles should help you feel more satisfied. Enjoy the meal, but avoid making it a regular habit.
