Nunuk Nuraini (1961 – 27 January 2021), also known as Bu Nunuk ("Mrs. Nunuk"), was an Indonesian food scientist who invented Indomie's mi goreng-flavor instant noodles.[1] [2]

West Java governor Ridwan Kamil called her Indonesian: pahlawan bagi anak-anak kos ("hero for the boarding house kids"). The mi goreng flavor is described as a "cult favorite".[3] The noodles are popular around the world, so much so that starting in 1995 the company had built three factories in Nigeria alone.

Nuraini was born in Bandung, Indonesia.[2] She graduated from Padjadjaran University in that city with a degree in food technology. Nuraini was a follower of Islam.[1] She worked for Indofood as the flavor department manager,[2] [1] developing recipes there for almost three decades.[4] [5] She developed the popular mi goreng flavor in 1982,[3] which was the first "dry" flavor sold without broth.[6] Nuraini originated the flavor with traditional ingredients.[7] Other flavors she invented include chicken curry,[8] green chili,[3] rendang,[8] salted egg,[3] sambal matah,[8] and soto.[8] Despite having many fans, Nuraini rarely appeared in public.[7] Her death was confirmed by Indofood's head of public relations, Nurlita Novi Arlaida, who wrote: ("Mrs. Hajjah Nunuk Nuraini has died today and is returning peacefully to God's side").[5] The cause of Nuraini's death was not specified.[5] Following her death, numerous tributes to Nuraini were posted on social media, thanking her for her work and expressing pride for it being a product of Indonesia.[9]
