Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing extruded noodles including mixing noodle materials; kneading the mixed noodle materials and mixing water into dough and gelatinizing the dough through a first extruder; cooling the gelatinized dough to a temperature of 40° C. or less; extruding strips of noodles from the gelatinized dough through a second extruder; cutting the extruded strips of noodles; putting a designated amount of the cut strips of noodles into a mold so as to mold the noodles; firstly drying the molded noodles at a temperature of 40˜70° C. under a relative humidity of 20% or more for 1˜20 minutes; and secondarily drying the firstly dried noodles at a temperature of 60˜100° C. for 30˜60 minutes. The dough is gelatinized through the first extruder without using a separate mixer, and then continuously passes through the second extruder without applying heat, thereby having an increased uniformity and allowing the extruded strips of noodles to be easily separated from each other. Further, since the drying of the noodles is divided into two steps, the extruded noodle producing method increases the disentangling property of final products of the extruded noodles in cooking, reduces the ingredient elution amount of the noodles, and prevents the generation of cracks of the noodles, thereby providing noodles, which have stability and convenience in circulation, storage, and cooking so as to be easily handled, and have excellent appearance and texture after cooking.
