[Problem] To provide: a process for manufacturing instant Chinese noodles which exhibit good softness in the surface and moderate resilience in the core and thus have a delicate mouthfeel and instant Chinese noodles. [Solution] This process comprises: subjecting raw noodle strands made from a noodle dough, into which a powdered fat or oil and/or a powdered emulsifying agent have been incorporated, to treatment with superheated steam and drying the treated noodle strands or alternatively subjecting the treated noodle strands to pH adjustment, heat sterilization and hermetical sealing. Thus, a process for manufacturing instant Chinese noodles which exhibit good softness in the surface and moderate resilience in the core and thus have a delicate mouthfeel is provided.Se pretende proporcionar un método para la producción de fideos instantáneos que tienen textura suave porque tienen una superficie suave y un núcleo moderadamente elástico y tales fideos instantáneos. Las tiras de fideos crudos preparados a partir de una masa de fideos amasada con una grasa o aceite en polvo y/o emulsionante en polvo se tratan con vapor sobrecalentado, seguido por el secado de las tiras de fideos, o ajuste del pH, esterilización por calor, y el sellado completo.
