Nissin

The Story of a Pioneer – From Japan to the World

Nissin isn't simply a convenience food brand – its founder is credited with inventing instant noodles. In 1958, Momofuku Ando developed the world's first instant noodles in Japan with the aim of creating an affordable, convenient and satisfying meal. This groundbreaking idea developed into a global phenomenon and helped shape the instant noodle market as we know it today.

From Ramen to Soba: Which Nissin Type Are You?

Whether you're cooking at home or need something convenient on the go, Nissin offers plenty of options for different tastes. Classic Demae Ramen combines noodles with a steaming, flavourful broth, while Soba Wok Style noodles are served with a rich and aromatic sauce rather than as a soup. If maximum convenience is what you're looking for, the iconic Cup Noodles are a great choice: simply add boiling water, wait a few minutes and enjoy.

When Instant Noodles Are the Perfect Choice

Nissin instant noodles make quick preparation easy in all kinds of everyday situations. Whether you're taking a short lunch break, finishing a long day working from home or looking for convenient food while camping or travelling, many varieties require little more than boiling water. Within just a few minutes, you can enjoy a warming and flavourful noodle meal.

Preparation Tips for Nissin Demae Ramen & Soba Noodles

• Demae Ramen soup: Add the noodles to approximately 500ml of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the soup powder and the included seasoning oil, then serve hot.
• Soba noodles (Wok Style): Cook the noodles in a pan with a little water until the liquid has evaporated. Add the wok sauce, toss thoroughly and briefly stir-fry.

Our tip: Add fresh pak choi, spring onions, tofu or a spicy Sriracha sauce to your noodle soup according to your taste.

Upgrade Your Instant Noodles: Quick Vegan Ramen Recipe

Turn a simple pack of Nissin noodles into a creamy vegan ramen dish in under 10 minutes:

1. Cook the broth & noodles: Prepare a Nissin variety labelled as vegan (such as a suitable Demae Ramen variety) in approximately 500ml of boiling water according to the instructions on the packet. Towards the end of the cooking time, add a teaspoon of peanut butter and a splash of soy sauce to the broth and stir well until creamy.
2. Prepare the vegan toppings: Briefly fry some diced tofu and fresh pak choi or baby spinach in a pan with a little sesame oil.
3. Serve & garnish: Pour the noodles and creamy broth into a bowl, arrange the fried tofu and vegetables on top and garnish with fresh spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.

FAQ – Nissin Ramen Noodles

What is the difference between Nissin Demae Ramen and Nissin Soba?
Demae Ramen are classic Japanese-style noodle soups that are prepared and served with a flavourful broth. Nissin Soba, on the other hand, are inspired by Yakisoba-style fried noodles and are served with an aromatic wok-style sauce rather than as a soup. Preparation can vary depending on the product, so always follow the instructions on the individual packaging.

Are Cup Noodles suitable for eating on the go?
Yes, Cup Noodles are designed for convenient preparation. The cup serves as both the preparation container and serving bowl. For many varieties, you simply add boiling water up to the indicated line, close the lid, wait approximately 3 minutes and stir well. Always follow the preparation instructions printed on the individual product. No additional tableware is usually required.

How long do unopened instant noodles keep?
Instant noodles generally have a relatively long shelf life when stored unopened in a cool, dry place. The exact best-before date varies depending on the product and batch, so always check the date printed on the individual packaging.

Can Nissin noodles be prepared in the microwave?
This depends on the individual product and its packaging. Only use a microwave if the preparation instructions specifically state that the product is suitable for microwave preparation. Never place packaging containing metal or foil in the microwave. If microwave preparation is permitted, always follow the instructions on the packet and use a microwave-safe container where required.

Are Nissin noodles available in spicy flavours?
Yes. If you enjoy spicy food, Nissin offers a variety of options with different levels of heat. Depending on availability, these may include spicy Demae Ramen varieties and Soba Chili Flavor. Check the individual product description to find the right level of spiciness for your taste.
