Ramen was cheap and good, so more and more people began eating it.In the 1950s, Momofuku Ando, the man who started the Nissin food company in Japan, had an idea.

It was not easy, but finally Ando came up with a way to make instant ramen. Japanese people loved it! Soon other companies were copying Ando's idea. Not long after that, instant ramen spread to other countries.Today, people all around the world enjoy ramen. In fact, people eat about 40 billion bowls, cups, or packs of ramen every year!But the story of ramen does not end there. Ramen is now moving from streets and instant bowls to good restaurants. All kinds of meats, vegetables, and spices are being added to ramen.
