Instant noodles
The noodles are made of wheat flour and NOT rice, so contain gluten.
A dough is made with water, yeast, salt and polyphosphate E452, raising agent: sodium carbonate E500(i) , colourant E 100 ( turmeric or curcuma)
The polyphosphate = E452's function in the noodle is to make the gluten convergence, to make the absorbtion of water better in order to avoid breaking and more flexible and slip.
The sodium carbonate =E500(i) helps the noodle cake to absorb water when cooking or in hot water more quickly and equably.
Then the noodle cake is deep-fried in palm oil, so it can be prepared by only soaking a 2-3 minutes in hot (not boiling ! ) water.
With many brands, soup sachet content is made of artificial flavourings. However, the TROPIFOOD noodles contain real meat with result we do NOT mention �flavour�, but . �SOUP �.
Also the Tropifood instant noodle soups are HALAL
The idea of instant noodles can be traced back to the Chinese Qing Dynasty, when yimian noodles were deep-fried which allowed them to be stored for long periods and then prepared quickly. Similarly, "Chicken Thread Noodles" (deep-fried thin noodles served with boiling water and optionally an egg) were available in China and Taiwan since the Qing Dynasty.
