Ichiran ramen is an alkalized noodle, like other ramen, dried similar to Italian dried pasta.  Like Italian dried pasta, dried ramen must be boiled in water.  Instant ramen on the other hand is par-cooked, freeze dried, and finished -- to the delight of countless college students -- simply by adding hot water.

 

I think you are using “instant” a little too narrowly. I have eaten many packages of instant noodles that required  2-5 minutes of cooking in boiling water. I would say that what you are describing are cup noodles.

 

I enjoy these

but they are cooked in boiling water for I believe it’s three minutes.
