On August 25th, 1958, Momofuku Ando’s mission of creating the instant noodle was complete. Today we mark the 60th anniversary of the birth of its invention.

Here’s a cooking video I made – the 50th installment of my series Instant Noodle Recipe Time. It’s funny; twice I hit landmarks on my birthday – review 1000 and 2000 both fell – quite unintentionally – on my birthday. This time, my 50th episode falls on the series’ namesake’s birthday.

Here you are (click to enlarge). Feel free to comment below and wish instant noodles as happy 60th birthday!
