Cup Noodles (カップヌードル, Kappu Nūdoru) are a trademarked brand of instant cup ramen owned by the Nissin Food Company. Most people call them "instant noodles," they are usually served in plastic or paper cups with a packet of seasoning inside. To prepare, just pour boiling water into the cup and wait 3 - 5 minutes before consuming.

Currently, instant noodles are becoming increasingly popular among people all around the world.

History
Instant Noodle were made for the first time in 1970 by Momofuku Ando. Additionally, he was the founder of the Japanese food Company Nissin in 1948 and was born in Taiwan.

Following the end of World War II, Japan was in need and has not recovered. One day during the winter in Osaka, Ando observed people standing in line in front of ramen stands for a single bowl of ramen. Despite the fact that Japan had been encouraged by the American food supply at the time, all there was was wheat bread. However, ramen noodles are also manufactured from wheat and the Japanese are familiar with ramen, so "Why don't we urge the Japanese to consume ramen?" This was Ando's thought when he viewed the ramen shop's outside. Later, in 1958, Ando attempted to develop instant ramen. Ando considered the following five aspects of instant ramen during the conception of the product: 1. delectable 2. Easy to prepare 3. Extended shelf life 4. sanitary and secure.

Ando desired to produce noodles that could be consumed at home, so he constructed a backyard laboratory shed. Ando has attempted several times to create quick ramen. After numerous failures, inspiration came in 1958. He discovered that the oil eliminated the moisture while watching his wife, Masako, cook tempura. Then he realized that dried and fried noodles could be rehydrated by boiling them. Seasoning powder and dehydrated toppings may be added, allowing for an infinite number of taste combinations. Ando selected chicken as the initial taste because chicken soup appeared American, nutrient-dense, and wealthy. Ando had difficulty recruiting investors since his "Chicken Ramen" was priced six times as much as a bowl of fresh noodles. His approach was to introduce his goods to the public directly through sampling events. Chikin ramen grew in popularity and became one of the most popular meals in postwar Japan.

Midway through the 1960s, his Chikin Ramen sales in Japan dropped due in part to market saturation. The United States was then considered a new market for instant ramen by Ando.

Instant Cup Noodles in other nations
Cup Noodles were initially introduced in the United States in November 1973.

In 1970, Nissin established the subsidiary Nissin Foods (USA) Co., Inc. to market instant noodles in the United States. In 1973, the company constructed a facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Nissin observed that the bowls usually used to package instant noodles in Asia were not widespread in the United States, therefore Ron R. Matteson invented the paper cup. Nissin launched instant ramen wrapped in a foam cup in 1971. In the United States, the three original Cup O' Noodles flavors were beef, chicken, and shrimp; the pork flavor was introduced in 1976. All flavors used to contain dried egg particles; however, they were eliminated in the early 1980s. Nissin Foods introduced new flavors of Top Ramen and Cup O' Noodles in 1978. Until 1993, the product was known as Cup O' Noodles in the United States. In 1998, beef, chicken, pig, and shrimp-flavored Cup Noodles Hot Sauce flavors were created. Later in 2016, the United States version was modified to have less salt, MSG, and artificial tastes.

Americanized as "Cup O'Noodles" and eventually renamed "Cup Noodles" with an "s" in 1993, the product included shorter noodles that could be eaten with a spoon and fewer flavors than those available in Japan.

From 1996 through 2006, a 60-foot neon Cup Noodles advertisement hung in New York's Times Square, representing Nissin's worldwide reach. It expressed the notion, popular in Japan, that achieving corporate success in the United States is essential. Cup Noodles has succeeded in hiding its Japanese roots in America.

Design of Cup Noodles
In 1966, Momofuku Ando visited the United States to promote Chikin Ramen. He was amazed to see Americans tear packets of dried noodles into pieces, place them in cups, and then pour boiling water over them rather than prepare Chikin Ramen in a pot and then serve it in a bowl. When Ando returned to Japan, he set out to create a new product for the Japanese market that was inspired by the American preparation process.After considerable trial and error, the Nissin team found a method to wrap a plastic foam cup around dry noodles positioned in the middle for easy expansion. To improve their cooking and make them appear more favorable, the noodles were topped with various tastes. The cup's pull-back cover was influenced by the container of macadamia nuts Ando consumed on his transpacific journey.

Otaka Takeshi, who created the logo for the Osaka World's Fair in 1970, designed the cup to appear cosmopolitan and cutting edge, with huge English text in a red psychedelic font over small Japanese words and gold bands inspired by fancy dinner plates. Cup Noodle included roughly the same quantity of ramen as the dried packets but cost four times as much due to higher manufacturing costs. The price made Cup Noodle appear wealthy. However, in Japan, eating while walking is considered impolite. Chopsticks are similarly tough to use in this situation. As a result, Nissin was determined to alter how people eat. Each cup noodle was accompanied by a little plastic fork.

Pesto Ramen
Since we'll be flavoring the instant ramen noodles with your choice of pesto, it truly doesn't matter what flavor of ramen you purchase (we won't be using the seasoning packet). You can also use any pesto on hand, so long as you like it: Classic basil, roasted red pepper, or sun-dried tomato will all work nicely here. If you're a semi-homemade type of cook, store-bought pesto will do just great too!

Shoyu Ramen
Braised pork belly, aka a little slice of heaven, is the star in this amazing homemade ramen. Making ramen from scratch is pretty darn elaborate, but we promise your patience will be more than rewarded.

Ramen Noodle Salad
This picnic-friendly salad is always one of the first things to go, and it's easy to see why. There's plenty of crunch from cabbage, carrot ribbons, and toasted ramen noodles, and tossed in a sweet and sour dressing, this salad is hard to beat.
