From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wei Lih Men (Chinese: 維力炸醬麵; pinyin: Wéilì zhájiàng miàn) is a Taiwanese brand of instant noodle that is marketed by the Wei Lih Food Industrial Co., Ltd. in 1973.[1] This dry noodle concoction actually comes with two bowls – one for you to create the soup base and the other for you to stir and toss the noodles after you've drained the noodles.[2] This type of instant noodles became popular in the Taiwanese market in the 1970s soon after its release on the market.[3]

History
Wei Lih Men entered the Taiwanese market in 1973. In the 1970s, the Taiwanese market lacked many consumer goods, so many companies competed to release instant noodle products.[4] This product was special as unlike normal instant noodles, they are not eaten with the soup but served with fried bean sauce, in the form of Taiwanese style Zhajiangmian.[5]
