History

In 1983, the first bowl of "Imperial Big Meal Beef Noodles" came with a cooking bag. In the 1980s, Uni-President Enterprises Corporation came up with the idea of developing instant noodles with "conditioning bags" attached. Although they are now widely available, in the 1980s this was a very rare idea. This inspiration came from the room-temperature cooking bags developed by the United States Army, which used room-temperature sterilization soft bag technology combined with ready-to-eat bag when heated.[4] The idea was jointly created with the renowned Taiwanese chef Fu Pei-mei, who once said, "Food should not be the exclusive right of the rich."[5][6]
