Ra-myeon soup (Korean Instant Noodle)

The Ra-myeon soup as a dish originated from China, and modern instant ramyeon is first produced at Japan. However, the biggest consumer is Korean people. From a statistics, average Korean people eat 90 pouches of ramyeon soup a year. If you visit Korea then Korean ramyeon soup is one thing you must try.

You can get ramyeon soup in your home country. But even if the brand is exactly same, the taste will be different because they make export edition. Upon my trial, american edition is reduced chilli pepper and increased sweet taste. Japanese edition enriched the vegetable bits. Chinese edition added special spices. Korean ramyeon noodle is usually 120g, which is almost twice of western ramyeon soup. (As far as I remember Nissin noodle is 65g per pouch)

The way Korean eat? We add a egg, some vegetable. We always eat Ramyeon with Kimchi (Korean vegetable pickle) as we feel Ramyeon is greasy.

The best selling brand is "Shin-Ramyeon", literally means "Hot & Spicy Ramyeon".  You can buy a pouch under $1 (800KRW), or cooked meal at most snack bar by $2 (2500KRW)
