Abstract
A method for preparing an instant noodle, a flour composition for an instant noodle, and an instant noodle are disclosed. The method for preparing the instant noodle includes preprocessing a non-wheat cereal to form processed non-wheat cereal flour. The method further includes providing a non-wheat cereal component having the processed non-wheat cereal flour, and mixing the non-wheat cereal component with a wheat component to form a flour composition. The amount of the non-wheat cereal component is at least 50 weight percent of the total weight of the flour composition, and the amount of the wheat component is 7.5-50 weight percent of the total weight of the flour composition. The flour composition is then formed into the instant noodle.
Claims7
A method for preparing an instant noodle comprising:
- preprocessing oat to form a preprocessed oat flour, the preprocessing the oat comprising:
- mixing oat flour with water to form oat paste;
- drum drying the oat paste to form an oat flake;
- and
- milling the oat flake into the preprocessed oat flour;
- mixing the preprocessed oat flour with a non-preprocessed oat flour to form an oat component, wherein the non-preprocessed oat flour is not preprocessed according to the preprocessing the oat;
- mixing the oat component with a wheat component to form a flour composition without a chemically modified starch, wherein an amount of the preprocessed oat flour is 25 to 55 weight percent of the total weight of the flour composition, an amount of the non-preprocessed oat flour is 25 to 35 weight percent of the total weight of the flour composition, and an amount of the wheat component is 7.5 to 50 weight percent of the total weight of the flour composition;
- and
- forming the flour composition into a non-fried instant noodle;
- wherein the preprocessed oat flour is configured to improve water-recovery capacity of the non-fried instant noodle-.
