Ramyeon is more than just a dish in South Korea; it’s a genre all on its own.
The country boasts an impressive array of approximately 550 different instant noodle products, reflecting both the nation’s deep love for instant noodles and the market’s diversity.
Now, imagine the endless variety of flavors — from classic spicy to more inventive combinations, each one offering a unique twist on the beloved comfort food.
Known for their bold flavors, Korean ramyeon products often combine a mix of spicy, savory and umami notes to create what many Koreans describe as an “addictive” and “irresistible” taste. This is why, despite being criticized for its low nutritional value, ramyeon remains a beloved comfort food.
According to 2022 data from the World Instant Noodle Association, South Koreans consumed an average of 77 servings per year — roughly one bowl every 4.8 days.
For those on the go, “cup ramyeon” offers a convenient variation. Simply pour hot water into the cup, and it‘s ready to enjoy — no pot required.
