The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method of drying non fried noodles in order to obtain non fried noodles in which individual noodles do not stick together and the noodles come apart more easily and have excellent restorability. In the present invention a step for drying non fried noodles comprises a step for feeding alphaized noodles into a retainer either having small holes on a bottom surface the total surface area of the small holes being 30% or less of the surface area of the bottom surface or not having small holes on the bottom surface i.e. a retainer having an aperture ratio of 0 30% and blowing a high speed air flow preferably an air flow having a wind speed of 50 m/s or higher onto the individual noodles on the retainer from above the retainer.
