Ramen noodles are an undeniable staple: they're the holy grail of cheap and easy dining for college students, and now, they're taking over the trendy food circle with Ramen burgers.

But are you ready to learn how these peculiar noodles are made?

In this short from Potluck Video, a crew travels to Sun Noodles in New Jersey to learn the magic that goes into making this starchy snack.

The process might not be what you expect. (And it's far different from the traditional technique of making ramen noodles by hand.)

CLARIFICATION: Sun Noodles supplies fresh noodles -- as opposed to the dry noodles generally found in grocery stores -- to be cooked in restaurants.
