How instant noodles are made
Jimmy uses traditional ingredients to make noodles. He adds sodium carbonate to the flour, water and salt to add texture to the noodles. He uses an office shredder to replicate the cutting machines used in a food factory to shape the noodles. After steam-cooking the noodles he flash fries them. This drives away moisture, leaving a dried product that can then have boiling water added to cook the noodles 'instantly'.
