Abstract
Non-fried, oil-free instant cooking dry noodles which, when immersed in hot water, are easily transformed to an edible cooked state during a short period of time and give good sense, feel and taste. The noodles have a water content of 13% or less by weight and consist essentially of at least one starch-containing component comprised mainly of wheat flour, wherein the starch in the starch-containing component has an .alpha.-conversion degree of at least about 85% as measured by diastase enzyme process. These noodles have a fine porous texture providing communication between the external surfaces and the internal portions thereof by a network of fine pores, and have smooth surfaces devoid of blister-like bubble formations or mutually sticking portions. Further, the noodles can be stored stably for at least one year without developing substantial change in quality.
