In this week's episode we explore the history and global significance of Instant Noodles. There's a beautiful story behind this humble food that millions, if not billions, eat every day. I hope you all enjoy but as always if you have any corrections, notes or ideas for future episodes hit me up on Instagram @planetpantrypod or by email at [email protected]. Below is my typically loosely slapped together list of sources used in this episode if any of you want to dive deeper into these topics. The top two are the links I mention in the episode by Serious Eats and Guru Jambeshwar University. There are more sources that don't fit into the character limit here so if you really want to know where I got some information, hit me up and I'll try to help you find it.
