Momofuku Ando、安藤百福 is the person who invented instant ramen. He was the founder of Nissin Foods and devoted himself to developing food products, even sacrificing sleep.
From a young age, he was involved in many different businesses and experienced both success and failure. At one point, he fell into debt and was left with only his house as his remaining asset. He told himself, “What I lost was only my wealth. My experiences have become my flesh and blood.”
After the war, he saw long lines at ramen stalls and the happy faces of people eating ramen. This inspired him to create “ramen that can be eaten immediately at home with just hot water.”
He immersed himself in researching instant ramen, but struggled for a long time to create something truly delicious. One day, while watching his wife frying tempura, he had a realization: “This is it.” By frying the noodles in oil, the moisture could be removed. Tiny holes would form in the noodles, allowing them to dry completely. When hot water is poured over them, it enters those holes and brings the noodles back to a soft texture.
This is how instant noodles became known around the world.
Instant ramen can be essential for busy people, but we should not forget to eat vegetables as well. He lived to the age of 96. I believe he must have taken good care of his health and maintained a balanced diet, including vegetables.
His success is certainly remarkable, but what stands out even more is his incredible mental strength.

This is again the compound sentence construction, where two phrases or clauses are joined by a conjunction ("but"). In this case, "He immersed himself in researching instant ramen" is an independent clause, meaning that it can stand on its own as a complete sentence. However, "struggled for a long time to create something truly delicious" is not a complete sentence on its own, so it is not an independent clause. Therefore, you do not need a comma before "but."

I went to the Ando Momofuku Cup Noodles Museum in Yokohama many years ago. It was a pretty fun experience :)

I would be consistent with your name ordering - in the title you use the Japanese order, "Ando Momofuku", but here you're using the English order. Generally the trend with Japanese names is to change it to the English order, though there are a few Japanese people (like Natsume Soseki) whose names use the Japanese order.

Works fine as it is, but "to do so" sounds a little better to me.

Not too major (this would probably go past undetected by most people) but good to keep your tenses consistent through the paragraph.

The sentence is correct, but the paragraph before this sentence talks about how instant noodles were invented, not how they became famous. Maybe "And after that, instant noodles became famous around the world" or something along those lines? Or "This is how instant noodles were invented".

Very interesting! I definitely remember reading a story about someone looking to ramen stalls after the war and then suddenly getting inspired to invent instant ramen. I looked him up - apparently he's Taiwanese! Would've fooled me, with a name like Ando Momofuku!
