Science Noodles
[edit]Science Noodles (traditional Chinese: 科學麵; simplified Chinese: 科学面; pinyin: kēxuémiàn; lit. 'Science Noodles') are a brand of instant noodle that is marketed in Taiwan by the Uni-President Enterprises Corporation. Unlike normal instant noodles, they are usually eaten without cooking the noodles. Instead, the bag is crushed with the ramen noodles inside, and seasoning added using the included spices. In fact, the real popularity of Science Noodles lies in this method of consumption, as it is eaten like a snack food. Because of this, most packaging no longer contains instructions for cooking the noodles.[6]
