_______ The oldest historical mention of noodles appeared in the third century AD in China.The earliest Chinese noodles were little pieces of dough (面团) thrown into boiling water.This kind of noodles,called mianpian,are still eaten in China today.Another early mention of noodles appeared in the fifth century AD in Jerusalem.
Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles in Japan in 1958.Few people know that instant noodles play an important role in hunger and disaster (灾害) relief.It's well﹣known that they are regarded as junk food,but they are a real "hunger killer".According to an online news report,the fat in instant noodles that is mixed with the delicious soup keeps one feeling full for longer.And that helps explain why"ramen",as they are called in Japanese,have become a staple on the world's food aid (援助) lists.
