A method for producing instant fried noodles, comprising:

• putting gelatinized noodle strings in a plurality of retainers supported by two endless chains, the endless chains being arranged parallel to each other;
• immersing the plurality of retainers, in which the noodle strings have been put by movements of the two endless chains, in a fry tank to fry the noodle strings;
• detaching the retainers from oil in the fry tank by movements of the two chains to detach a plurality of fried noodle lumps from the oil in the fry tank;
• inverting traveling directions of the chains within 15 seconds after detaching the plurality of noodle lumps to reverse the retainers upside down;
• conveying the noodle lumps in a state in which the noodle lumps are contained in the retainers;
• and
• separating the plurality of fried noodle lumps from the retainers.
