Instant noodles are one of our familiar dishes today. Every day, millions of people around the world are enjoying delicious and convenient bowls of noodles. But few people know the name of the person who invented this miraculous dish. That is Ando Momofuku, nicknamed the king of instant noodles, and is one of the most influential characters in Asia, voted by Time Asia magazine. In today's video, we will learn about the father of instant noodles, the great inventor who changed the world's eating habits. A creature in war Ando Momofuku was born on March 5, 1910, in the city of Fatsu, Giang Nghia District, Taiwan, when it was under Japanese rule. His Chinese name is Ngô Bách Phúc, when translated into Japanese, it is Andang Bách Phúc. A mother and father since childhood, Ando lived with his grandparents, and when he grew up, he started working in his grandfather's clothing store in Dainam City, southern Taiwan Island. At the age of 22, Ando used his inherited property from his parents to start a silk business. At that time, due to the few people who sold silk, his company was able to make a living. So a year later, Ando went to Japan to open a Japanese company in Osaka, specializing in silk and sewing equipment. At the same time, he also studied economics at Ritsumeikan University here. At the end of the Pacific War, the bombings of the Allied forces had spread to almost all cities and industrial facilities in Japan, including Ando's factories and factories. Faced with this not-so-light fall, Ando Momofuku was not afraid to take a step back. He immediately cooperated with others, and this time he turned to selling silk, an engine for the army. Momofuku's business seemed to have started. Not long after the end of the war, the General Secretary of the Allied Forces took over the rule of Japan. He was quickly convicted of embezzlement and arrested. Two years later, Ando Momofuku was released. At this time, the thing he had to face was a poor Japan, and the economy was completely down. After World War II, he started his new job, which was a salt and seafood seller. Also during that time, he became a citizen of Japan. In 1950, a private corporation in Osaka invited Ando Momofuku to take over the city hall. But after 7 years of hard work and maintenance, the corporation was forced to close, leaving Ando Momofuku with a huge debt. After that, he had to sell all his silk to pay off his debt, and he even had to move into a small house with only 4 walls. This failure can be said to be the end of all his assets. If it were someone else, maybe they wouldn't be able to get up again. But of course, that's not Ando Momofuku's personality. He once said that at the age of 48, he could still do everything from scratch. It was at this time that he remembered the project he had planned 10 years ago, which was instant noodles. Realized the miracle of cooking for his wife. This great invention began on August 15, 1945 when Japan surrendered to the Allies. At that time, Ando Momofuku was wandering around Osaka looking for a new place to live. At that time, Japan was very short of food. Most of the noodles were provided by the US, although the Japanese were used to eating rice. The Japanese government used noodles to make bread and started a nationwide movement to make and eat bread in the fastest and least time-consuming and fuel-efficient way. Ando didn't like the way it was done. He wanted to make instant noodles because the Japanese had gotten used to eating rice and noodles for thousands of years. When he saw people lining up outside the street in the snow to wait to buy a bowl of hot noodles, Ando hesitated. If he could make a kind of noodles that didn't need to be cooked for a long time and only needed to pour boiling water to eat right away, it would be convenient. Of course, Ando couldn't do this when he was the president of a bank. In the spring of 1958, in his small house, Ando Momofuku started researching and creating instant noodles. Initially, Ando set the goal of making delicious instant food as well as meeting the necessary conditions such as cooking quickly, saving money, safe for health, and long-term preservation. However, the most difficult thing for Ando was to draw water out of the noodles or dry the noodles. At that time, he poured the noodles into the pan to make noodles for dinner. Then he realized that instant noodles not only lose water faster in high temperature but also cook faster after many failures. Finally, on August 25, 1958, Ando successfully made instant noodles with the first chicken flavor with the brand of ramen, often called Chikiramen, which means chicken in English. This kind of food doesn't need to be cooked. You just need to put the noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water into the pot At that time, Japan was rapidly industrialized so instant food was consumed more and more. To produce on a large scale, Ando decided to open Nissin Food Products Co. in December of that year. Fortunately for him, next year, Mitsubishi, a giant industrial corporation in Japan, jumped in to support the promotion of this fast food to help instant ramen quickly increase production many times. Just with small instant noodles, Ando Momofuku has created a new consumer wave in Japan. Thinking about that time, the father of instant noodles shared that the failure of maintaining the bank gave him more motivation and the creation of instant noodles helped him fulfill his dream to save the poor workers of the old days and also helped him give his strength to the country.

From the exclusive right to produce instant noodles to the sharing of technology. From a small research facility, the family factory only produces about 400 packs of noodles a day to a joint factory that produces about 6,000 boxes a day, then to a 24,000 square meter factory, Ando Momofuku's Nissin Foods has created a new world for itself in the food industry in less than a year. But not long after, his instant noodles products also came to life. They use his brand of instant noodles to sell, from packaging to form, are no different from Nissin Foods products. What's more, these products have extremely poor quality and directly affect the reputation of his company. In anger, Nissin Foods hired 13 companies to sell instant noodles in 1961 and since then he has officially signed the exclusive right. In no time, his company has grown to 113 companies in the instant noodles market in Japan. After a long time of thinking, in 1964, Ando Momofuku decided to break this exclusive right. He founded the Association of Japanese Instant Noodles and publicly transferred the exclusive right. In 1965, Ando Momofuku heard that someone was addicted to eating instant noodles. After investigating the cause, he found that in the process of frying noodles, the low temperature and humidity in the ribs created conditions for bacteria to grow Therefore, Ando Momofuku decided to close the manufacturing day on the packaging to warn everyone. Before him, there were no facilities in the world to clearly state the manufacturing day on the packaging. From here, the fact that the manufacturing day was clearly stated on the packaging has become one of the safety regulations Nissin Foods has been forced to comply and use to this day. Great innovation changes the habits of the whole world. In 1965, the instant noodles industry was developing and companies with unique products took over most of the instant noodles market. The larger the scale, the more problematic the problem. Consumers in each region have their own taste and sometimes it's really hard to please the gods. Nissin instant noodles companies founded by Ando Momofuku used to say that every year in Japan, we produce more than 300 new products and only 1% of them survive due to the high standards of consumers. Gradually, the products became too short-lived and the consumers were fed up and only waited for a new flavor. So we had to create, and create non-stop. Ando Momofuku began to sense the imminent danger when the company's regular growth rate was declining. The company was forced to reduce production and employees' wages. At that time, Ando Momofuku told Kei Matsumoto, an employee who had just joined the company, that the wages were so low that he had to invent a new product or the company would collapse. He began to think more broadly about selling products abroad. During a tour of the US market in 1966, Ando observed that Americans eat with chopsticks and plates but not with chopsticks and bowls like the Japanese. He intended to pack instant noodles in large bags of paper without soaking in water. When the water boils, you can eat it. So even if you don't have a bowl, you can still eat instant noodles. In 1971, the first instant noodle was born. Akiyama Akihisa, in the business room, took this first instant noodle to the horse racing and football field to learn about the market. That night, Akiyama was sad to go home with a far-reaching result compared to his original desire. At that time, when Chut looked up at the light shining from the office skyscrapers, Chut thought, then ran straight to the fire department. At that time, there were only night staff. Not a few people were watching the magazine. Akiyama hurriedly took out the instant noodle to invite everyone to try it, and they all praised the instant noodle. Achieving the first success, Akiyama continued to look for night shift workers in construction sites, night nurses, car drivers. That year, Nissin Foods brought 20,000 instant noodles, held an open sale at the beginning of a street in Ginza area, attracting a crowd of curious people to try it. Within a few hours, all 20,000 instant noodles were sold out. Since then, a product has changed the world's consumer market. In 1970, Nissin opened its first branch in the United States. On September 18, 1971, Nissin Instant Noodle was acquired and created a strong appeal when exported to the United States, Europe, and Asia. This product also made a revolution in changing the eating habits of global residents. In the 1970s, instant noodles became popular with all households, for example, water heaters to make instant noodles. Television also developed rapidly to promote the convenience of instant noodles. Now, instant noodles are no longer a food to starve, but still a great way to save money. Thus, instant noodles have come to life and accompanied with the rise of instant noodles since the difficult post-war to become a modern industrial country. In 1999, Ando Momofuku founded the Miramen Museum in Ikeda, Osaka. In six and a half years, more than 1 million people have visited the museum. This is enough to show how much people value Ando's instant noodles. In Japan, Nissin Foods' reputation has always been at the top for 55 years. More than that, Ando Momofuku has sold instant noodles to more than 15 countries and created more than 1,200 instant noodles worldwide. The most obvious evidence of the effectiveness of instant noodles is the Utsubonno volcano. More than 30,000 instant noodles were donated to help countless people get out of hunger. In the 1995 earthquake, more than 16 million instant noodles were transported to the earthquake area In 1995, Ando Momofuku was 95 years old at the time and was able to create instant noodles that could be eaten in a vacuum to provide food for the astronaut Soichi Noguchi during a flight on the U.S. Discovery spacecraft to the International Space Station ISS. After bringing his second son, Koki Ando, to the presidency of Nissin, in June 2005, at the age of 95, Ando Momofuku decided to retire Ando also has many plans for the future including the gathering of an international conference on instant noodles in Osaka in 2008 but all those plans were not implemented in time. On January 5, 2007, Ando Momofuku passed away in Osaka due to a heart attack at the age of 97. What Ando left for society is huge. In 2008, the total number of instant noodles sold worldwide reached 94 million. By 2017, more than 100 billion instant noodles have been sold worldwide and that's 13 times the population of the Earth. Estimated by 2022, the number of noodles sold worldwide will reach 126.8 billion instant noodles per year. It's been a golden age in the 70s and 80s when instant noodles were a national dish that used to make rain and wind in the Japanese market. Now, the number of instant noodles in Japan accounts for 5% of the world. However, more than the amount sold, this dish has become a cultural symbol of Japan. In a recent survey of opinions on the most important inventions of the 20th century in Japan, many Japanese people put instant noodles at the top of karaoke machines, music players, or Nintendo games.
