Japanese cooking and kitchen supply makers Kokubo released a solution available in packets that hardens leftover noodle soup into a solid for those who can't finish their meal.
While noodle soup may be poured down a sink, there are concerns that this can lead to drain clogging, poor workplace manners especially in Japan, and is not regarded as an eco-friendly practice.
The hardening solution makes for super quick and environmentally friendly disposal of leftover instant noodles.
Like the limited version released by Nissin Cup Noodle early this year, Kokubo Press developed the powder to make disposing of leftover instant noodle soup more convenient and in line with Sustainable Development Goal-based thinking.
Use it by adding one packet to the leftover food and stirring for a moment.
The leftover soup will first turn into a jelly-like substance before solidifying, making it easier to dispose of at home, in the workplace, or where there aren't any trash cans around.
