Momofuku Ando’s 105th Birthday
If you’ve ever needed to eat something quickly and cheaply, you may be familiar with this mantra:
"Peel off the lid.Pour boiling water into the cup.Let sit for three minutes.Stir well and serve.”
With these four simple steps, Taiwanese-Japanese inventor Momofuku Ando introduced to the world instant ramen, a dish that not only revolutionized food but also serves as a testament to what hard work and perseverance can achieve. Our doodle for the inventor’s 105th birthday showcases Momofuku’s efforts to make instant noodles, but don’t let the speed of the animations fool you – it took Ando years to figure out the recipe!
