Every day, Momofuku Ando would retire to his laba little shed in his backyard. For years, hed dreamed about making a new kind of ramen noodle soup that was quick, convenient, and tasty for the hungry people hed seen in line for a bowl on the black market following World War II. Peace follows from a full stomach, he believed.
Day after day, Ando experimented. Night after night, he failed. But Ando kept experimenting.
With persistence, creativity, and a little inspiration, Ando succeeded. This is the true story behind one of the worlds most popular foods.
