An affordable filling instant meal that could be eaten anywhere at any time…This is what Taiwanese-Japanese business man Momofuku Ando was looking for when he created the top ramen noodle meal. His goal was to find the perfect combination of a practical and satisfying meal at a low price in order to feed the masses after World War II, a period of food shortage.
This top notch version of Mr. Momofuku ramen is healthier, super flavorful, and very easy to prepare; it also makes the popular fast-food noodle meal look and taste amazing.
