Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing instant fried noodles having a lower fat or oil content than usual fried noodles. [Solution] In a method for producing fried noodles of the present invention, in rolling out a noodle belt with a plurality of pressing rollers, a large diameter roller having a larger diameter of 400 mm or more than usual is used as at least one of the pressing rollers, and thus, a fat or oil content of the resultant fried noodles is reduced. Besides, when the noodle belt is made by extrusion performed under reduced pressure, and a compression of the noodle belt obtained by using the large diameter roller set to be high, the fat or oil content is further reduced.

Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] An object of the present invention is to provide instant fried noodles having a lower fat or oil content than general instant fried noodles. [Solution] Instant fried noodles having a porous structure including a smaller number of pores and having a lower porosity are provided by inhibiting formation of a layered gluten network structure within noodle strings. Thus, a fat or oil content of the fried noodles can be lowered.
