Instant noodles selection

Looking at the shape of instant noodles, the shape of high-quality instant noodles is very complete, and the pattern is very uniform and meticulous, while the inferior instant noodles have more broken strips, just like bread crumbs.

Generally speaking, the color of instant noodles is related to the production technology of its bread. Golden bread is fried, gray bread is cooked at high temperature, and white bread is wet.

High-quality bread is even milky white or light yellow, not burnt and hygienic; Inferior bread looks gray and black. Don't buy instant noodles like this. Of course, if you want to choose high-quality instant noodles, you need to soak them for a while to know their quality, so we can also look at the rehydration of instant noodles and the color of soup.

Generally speaking, after high-quality noodles are cooked, there are no obvious broken strips and combined strips after rehydration, and of course the taste will not be raw or sticky; There are many pieces of inferior instant noodles after cooking, and some of them can't be cooked.

Of course, we can also look at the soup base of instant noodles. Generally speaking, the soup base of instant noodles brewed with boiling water is golden yellow, while the soup base of instant noodles cooked in pot is relatively thick, which has no effect on the quality of instant noodles.

Besides the above selection methods, we can also taste instant noodles, and we can judge the taste of instant noodles from the smell and taste. High-quality instant noodle cakes smell a bit like oil and wheat, and there is no odor such as mildew and spicy taste.

After opening the bag, if the instant noodles are found to be discolored, moldy, moth-eaten or have the smell of oxidized oil, it indicates that they have deteriorated, so this instant noodle is inedible.
