THE ORIGIN OF RAMEN AND BACON EGG RECIPE
Ramen is a popular noodle dish that is consist of a meat broth and a variety of toppings depending on the variation. It was first introduced to Japan by Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century and made its way over to Japan. It gained attraction in the culinary world. Since then the ramen has exploded in popularity. Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-Japanese founder and chairman of Nissin Foods who invented the instant noodles in 1958 was certain that people would never compromise with the taste and flavor of noodles. Therefore, he took special care about the packaging of Top Ramen noodles.
