Ranked: Countries by their Instant Noodle Consumption
世界各国方便面消费量排名：
Unsurprisingly, the now second-most populous country in the world, China, ate about 42 billion instant noodle servings in 2023. This works out to about 30 noodle helpings per person in the year.
不出所料，世界人口数量第二多的国家中国位居榜首，在2023年消费了420亿份方便面。这相当于当年人均消费30份。
Staying in Asia, Indonesia (14.5 billion servings), India (8.7 billion), Vietnam (8.1 billion) and Japan (5.8 billion) make up the top five.
亚洲国家印度尼西亚（145亿份）、印度（87亿份）、越南（81亿份）和日本（58亿）占据了前五名的位置。
The U.S. is the top ranked country by instant noodle consumption (5.1 billion servings) from outside Asia. There are also only two non-Asian countries in the top 10, with the other being Nigeria (3 billion portions).
美国是亚洲之外消费方便面（51亿份）最多的国家。美国和尼日利亚（30亿份）是仅有的两个进入排名前10行列的非亚洲国家。

Noodle Preferences Around the World
各国对方便面口味的偏好
There’s a large variety in instant noodle brands worldwide, catering to different populations’ specific cultural and dietary habits.
全世界有许多方便面品牌，满足不同人口的特定文化和饮食习惯。
For example, given Indonesia’s largely Muslim population, most noodle products are halal.
例如，印度尼西亚是一个以穆斯林人口为主的国家，该国的大部分方便面产品都是清真产品，
On the other hand, vegetable and tomato-based soups are eaten the most in India due to its large vegetarian population.
另一方面，由于国内庞大的素食人口，在印度人吃得最多的是以蔬菜和西红柿味为基础汤料的方便面。
Meanwhile, Vietnam prefers a shrimp-flavored broth along with pho rice noodles, which are popular in the country.
与此同时，越南人喜欢虾味汤汁加上在该国非常受欢迎的河粉组成的方便面。
To end with a fun fact, instant noodles sold in the U.S. are generally cut shorter due to most people eating them with a spoon and/or fork.
最后说一个有趣的事情，在美国销售的方便面通常切得更短，因为大部分美国人吃方便面时会用汤匙和（或）刀叉。
