ABSTRACT:
A method of producing instant cupped noodles comprising disposing a mass of raw noodles in a liquid-permeable metal cup, the cup having at least a tapered wall, placing a liquid-permeable metal lid to cover the opening of the metal cup, and completely immersing the metal cup in a heated oil for frying the mass of noodles housed in the metal cup while the cup is inverted and immersed, thereby rendering the mass of noodles dense in the portion close to the bottom of the metal cup and sparse in the portion close to the metal lid. The metal cup is then taken out of the heated oil, the metal lid is removed from the metal cup for discharging the fried mass of noodles, and the discharged fried mass of noodles is dried. The dried mass of noodles is then packed, preferably together with proper condiments and ingredients, in a cup-shaped container substantially equal in shape to and slightly larger in inner diameter than the metal cup, the packing being effected such that the dense and sparse portions of the mass of noodles are disposed in lower and upper portions of the container, respectively, and the cup-shaped container is sealed. Also disclosed is apparatus for carrying out the above method.
