The most detailed answer gets ten points!
I remember my cousin saying something about them getting fried twice... can someone tell me or attach a link of the basic steps in the manufacturing process?
Answer
Instant noodles are dried or precooked noodles and are often sold with packets of flavoring including seasoning oil. Dried noodles are usually eaten after being cooked or soaked in boiling water for 2 to 5 minutes, while precooked noodles can be reheated or eaten straight from the packet. Instant noodles were invented by Momofuku AndÅ of Nissin Foods, Japan.
Nissin Foods still brings in 300 billion yen ($2.7 billion U.S.) a year with their original "Top Ramen" noodles. Add all the competing ramen clones made in Japan, Korea, Europe, the U.S., China, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia and you have an estimated annual world market of $10 billion U.S. Pretty good for a product with a wholesale price of twelve and a half cents.
Instant ramen wasn't a big hit right away. In fact when it was first introduced in Japan, it was considered a luxury item, six times more expensive than the homemade noodles available in Japanese grocery stores. Wouldn't you hate to be the guy who said, "This will never sell"? Momofuku's ramen arrived on the east coast of the U.S. in 1972 as "Oodles of Noodles." The next year came "Nissin Cup Noodles" in the convenient styrofoam cup, and soon hundreds of knock-offs.
The Chinese were eating noodles almost two thousand years ago. Some time later they were imported by the Japanese along with Buddhism and a few other handy ideas. "Ramen" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese characters lo mein, which means "boiled noodles." Ramen was popularized in Japan by a 17th century samurai named Mito Komon. You can see Mito's actual ramen bowl and a reproduction of his favorite meal in the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum in Osaka, Japan. The museum that attracts 1500 visitors a day--more than Japan's national art museum. At this three-story museum and theme park (leave it to the Japanese) you will also see a reproduction of Momofuku's first ramen laboratory with original machine and tools, an assortment of ramen bowls and utensils, and a row of shops each selling a different ramen specialty. You can watch ramen being made and even make it yourself with a little handcranked machine. Here's more info on Momofuku Ando and his museum, and a picture of visitors making ramen
Some people think that each package of ramen contains one incredibly long noodle curled and coiled into a solid block. Not so, according to The Book of Ramen: Low Cost Gourmet Meals Using Instant Ramen Noodles by Ron Konzak (Turtleback Books). A man of scientific bent, Ron selected a package of ramen noodles, boiled it and carefully took it apart. "I found that the package contained eighty strands of curly noodles 5/64" (2 mm) diameter that, when straightened out, measured approximately 16" (40 cm.) in length. This would indicate that the noodle dough was extruded through eighty nipples into continuous rows, and cut into uniform lengths. The eighty curly noodles, cut to length, were then folded over once before being dropped into a mold, lightly fried, dried, and packaged with a flavor packet insert. Each package, when boiled, stretched out and laid end to end contains about 100 linear feet of noodles." Good work, Ron! This book also contains ramen trivia and a number of creative recipes for ramen, if you ever get tired of using the little flavor packet.
Ramen noodles unfortunately are not very good for you. Each package contains about 1560 mg of sodium. To remove the water and form them into blocks, they are deep fried in palm oil which is about the most saturated fat there is. Look in your local Asian food store, though, and you may find some that are baked or freeze dried without the oil. Check the ingredients--about 720 different varieties/flavors of ramen are available. For what it's worth, the average Japanese eats about 45 packages a year and, other than sumo wrestlers, ain't too many of them chubby.

In the United States, instant noodles were first available by Nissin Foods in 1971 and were marketed as "Oodles of Noodles." In 1972, Nissin Foods introduced "Nissin Cup Noodles" in a styrofoam cup, which led to an upsurge in popularity. Soon after, many other competing companies were offering similar instant noodle products.
Today, in the U.S., the instant noodle product is commonly known as ramen, after the Japanese dish on which it is based, and it comes in a variety of mostly meat-based flavors. Common flavors in the United States include chicken, pork, beef, mushroom, shrimp, roast beef, roast chicken, chili, chili lime, vegetable, and "oriental" (soy sauce flavored). Other flavors, including shoyu, miso, and kimchi, are also available at supermarkets and convenience stores. The three major brands are Nissin Top Ramen, Maruchan Ramen, and Sapporo Ichiban. Thailand's "Mama" brand is also quite common in the United States. Ramen noodles are extremely popular among college students, due to their low cost and ease of preparation.

I can understand why people would love their country, as in the geographic location?
Dick Digle
But why love your government and join its armed forced, when the only thing that changes for the common man in a change of government is the address you mail your taxes too?
Answer
You can love your country that provides you the best in luxuries, and defend your way of life. And hate the corrupt government that oppresses you and takes advantages of others.
Would you love living under the N. Korean, Chinese, Cuban or Venezuelan governments? Real Americans believe that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights and That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
If you believe that, you believe that people are meant to be free to enjoy life and a government was created to protect your Rights, not abuse them. But we have a corrupt government that is trampling The Constitution and taking power that We The People did not authorize.
What the many of clowns on the left do not understand is you do not have the Right to abuse the Rights of another. but they support criminal politicians that do it all the time.
The big dummies are too stupid to see that the bond holders that had their Rights violated with the car companies take over are the average people that hold retirement accounts and pensions. Their money was invested in those bonds. But the corrupt president stole from them to pay off the unions.
I love this country, I served my country. I am not anti government. I AM anti-corrupt government.
