Instant noodles are a globally recognized convenience food, especially popular across Asia. Their appeal lies in their affordability, long shelf life, and extremely simple preparation. But have you ever wondered about the industrial journey a simple block of noodles takes before it reaches your bowl? To understand how this popular food is made, we (35) __________ look at the multi-step manufacturing process, which combines culinary science with impressive engineering. It is a system designed for maximum efficiency and consistency.

The first step is creating the dough. This process requires the (36) __________ mixing of high-protein wheat flour, water, and salt. These ingredients are placed in a large industrial mixer until a firm, elastic dough is formed. Then, the dough is fed through a series of rollers. This machine-driven process flattens the dough repeatedly, ensuring it is perfectly even and reaches the (37) __________ thickness for the next stage. Getting the dough right is fundamental for the final texture of the noodles.

(38) __________ is the dough rolled flat, but it is also precisely cut by a machine with special blades to create the familiar wavy noodle strands. After being cut, the noodles are moved along a conveyor belt and passed through a steamer. (39) __________ cooks them thoroughly without making them soggy, a critical step to ensure they rehydrate properly later. This steaming process also partially gelatinizes the starch in the noodles.

The next crucial step is dehydration, which is essential for preservation. The steamed noodles are either deep-fried in oil for a few minutes or air-dried with hot air. Frying is often the (40) __________ method used by manufacturers because it is faster and gives the noodles a distinct flavor and texture. This rapid removal of water is what helps to (41) __________ the long shelf life of the product. Finally, the cooled noodles are paired with packets of seasoning powder and flavored oil.

(42) __________, the manufacturing of instant noodles is a highly efficient process that transforms simple raw ingredients into a ready-to-cook meal. Once the noodles and seasoning packets are ready, they are automatically sealed into plastic packaging. This packaging protects the product from moisture and damage, ensuring it stays fresh until you are ready to enjoy it.

You scroll through TikTok and see it again: a perfectly synchronized dance cover to Sơn Tùng M-TP’s latest hit. Or perhaps it’s a fan-made video montage celebrating a favorite V-Pop artist, with their chart-topping song playing in the background. This is the heart of modern fan culture – creative, engaging, and shared instantly with millions. But behind the fun of remixing and sharing lies a complex world of rules. While using a popular song seems harmless, it can raise serious questions about ownership and creativity. When does expressing appreciation for an artist cross the line into unauthorized use of their work?

At the core of this issue is copyright, the legal right that creators have over their original works, including music. This means the artist and their record label control who can copy, distribute, and perform their songs. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok have sophisticated systems, like Content ID, that scan uploads to detect copyrighted content. When a V-Pop hit is used without permission, these systems can automatically flag the video. The consequences can range from the audio being muted to the entire video being taken down. In some cases, any advertising revenue the video makes is redirected to the original copyright holder, not the fan who created the video.

However, the situation isn't completely black and white. There is a legal concept called “Fair Use” (or “Fair Dealing” in some countries) that allows for the limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes like commentary, criticism, news reporting, or education. For example, using a 15-second clip of a song in a detailed review video is more likely to be considered Fair Use than simply uploading the entire song with a static image. The challenge is that Fair Use is not a clear-cut rule but a set of flexible guidelines. Whether a specific use is “fair” is often decided on a case-by-case basis, which means it can be difficult to predict the outcome.

So, what should a teenage creator in Vietnam do? The safest option is to use music from the official audio libraries provided by TikTok and YouTube, as these songs are licensed for use on the platform. If you are determined to use a specific V-Pop track, your use should be 'transformative.' This means you add something new and original, like unique choreography, insightful commentary, or educational analysis. Keeping clips short and always giving credit to the original artist are also good practices. While giving credit doesn't provide legal protection, it shows respect and is a key part of being a responsible digital citizen. Balancing your creativity with respect for artists is the key to thriving in the online world.
