In the realm of comfort food, a steaming bowl of instant noodles reigns supreme. While instant noodles come in various flavours and styles, the internet has introduced a new recipe that's gaining popularity. Yes, you heard it correctly. A viral video, demonstrating the creation of crispy "fried noodles," was posted by an Instagram food page. The video begins with a man stating, "Turning instant noodles into a delectable treat - easy and delicious." The process commences with boiling water and cooking the instant noodles.
After immersing the cooked noodles in cold water, the man proceeds to wrap them in plastic wrap. As he does this, he can be heard saying, "Place the cooked instant noodles on top, roll it up. The tighter the roll, the better." Following this, he suggests refrigerating the rolls for a couple of hours and then cutting them into bite-sized pieces. These pieces should be deep-fried until they turn golden brown. Once fried, he recommends enjoying them by sprinkling the seasoning provided with the pack. Take a look:

Despite the innovative recipe, fried noodles failed to impress the internet. Several users shared their views in the comments section. One comment read, “Bro, this is literally how ramen is made before it's boiled. Just eat the raw ramen.” Another commenter remarked, “You people have too much free time,” highlighting the perceived lack of utility in the dish. “Frying, boiling, drying, and then deep-frying instant noodles. The point is reshaping the noodles,” another person observed. A user sarcastically remarked, “So basically just eat the noodles right out of the pack?” Another simply stated, “That's not food, bruh.”

One commenter joked, “Should've used water from the Mississippi River.” Another humourously remarked, “These are like Japanese hash browns.” Yet another user expressed, “Why didn't I come up with this myself? I'm not going to use instant noodles or the toxins they put in their bags. I'm going to fire up a brown sauce-themed stir fry (soy, oyster, sugar, ginger, garlic, chili, sesame) with velveted chicken and veggies and I'm going to use these like a crispy chow mein dish. Yes Sir!”
