Ways to eat koka noodles...

There are many different ways to eat koka noodles, different people prefer different ways.

As you can see one way is demonstrated in the above video using packet noodles where the steps are as following;

• place contents in a bowl

another way to eat packet koka noodles is to..

• add the contents to a saucepan
• add 400mls of boiling water
• put it on a low heat for 3 minutes 
• add the flavour sachet once cooked and mix 
• pour into a bowl and enjoy

There are however other versions of koka noodles, for example the pot version. The pot noodles are slightly thinner and come with a sachet of tasty powder made vegetables (I personally throw away the vegetable sachets as I find the flavour cannot be improved)

To eat koka pot noodles you must..

• empty contents of the flavour sachet and vegetable sachet into the pot
• add boiling water up to the measurement line
• put the lid back onto the pot to keep them warm and allow to cook for 5mins
• once the noodles have risen to the top of the pot take your fold up complimentary fork and enjoy!

Bowl koka noodles are the last version, These are extremely convenient if you do not have a dishwasher as you can throw away the disposable bowl once finished with.

To eat these the quidelines are as follows;

• pour in flavour and vegetable sachets
• add boilng water to the second rim of the bowl
• wait for the noodles to cook
• take your complimentary spork (spoon and fork ) and enjoy!

How are instant noodles produced?

Instant noodles are usually made from 6 main ingredients...

1. starch
2. flour (a mix of wheat flour and/or bucketwheat)
3. salt
4. potassium carbonate
5. water
6. phosphoric acid

The ingredients do vary depending on what part of the world the noodles are being made.
The following steps will explain to you how these instant noodles are then formed:

• All the ingredients are dissolved and kneaded into a dough. This dough is then left to mature for a certain period of time.
• The dough is then made into two sheets and rolled through two rotating rollers several times in order to flatten it out and develop gluten more easily.
• The dough is then cut off once it has reached the desired thickness and shape. The noodles are then ready to be steamed for 1-5 minutes at 100 degrees celsius in order to geletinize the texture of the noodles.
• After this the noodles are dried. Noodles can be dried in two ways, hot air drying or frying.
 -Frying: The noodles are fried in oil (usually canola oil) at 140-160 degrees celsius for 1-2 minutes.

-Air Drying: The noodles are air dried for approx 30-40 minutes at a degrees of 70-90.

One pro about frying noodles is that it takes a shorter amount of time... however the con of this is that it has a shorter shelf life.

• The noodles are finally cooled, checked and packaged along with the flavour sachets.
