In the early 1970s, Momofuku Ando of Nissin Foods developed another ramen innovation: packing the noodles in a polystyrene cup so they could cook in boiling water right in the package.
Sold in its own polystyrene-cup-shaped container, this carried convenience to it ultimate level, obtaining even the need for providing saucepan or soup bowl.
At that time the great boom of dried-noodle -in-the cup rolled over the Japanese Islands.
Such ‘cup noodles’ have appeared on the Western market under a variety of names. This just-add-water to the ingredients inside the disposable cup, and wait 3 minutes to cook, stirring and eating with fork or chopstick, it was easy as making a cup of tea.
The cup noodle strands usually are thinner and less densely packed than noodle blocks to facilitate rapid hydration.
