Since a part of the base material seal is locked to the flange of the container and the opening is closed with the base material seal, the opening cannot be completely closed with the base material seal. If the base material seal cannot completely close the opening, the stored fried noodles are discharged to the outside due to a leak between the container and the base material seal. Also, when draining hot hot water, etc., press the base material seal against the container so that the fried noodles do not drain from the gap between the base material seal and the container. It is hot and cannot easily press the substrate seal against the container. For this reason, there is a drawback that it takes time to quickly discharge only hot water without leaking fried noodles.

  In addition, after draining hot water and applying soup and ingredients, fried soba noodles are covered with the base material seal again, and the container is shaken in this state so that the soup and ingredients are evenly distributed over the fried noodles. can do.
