Movie-Inspired Korean Noodle Dishes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Instant Ram-Don Will Be Released Globally

— April 27, 2020 — Lifestyle
Among many things, Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winning film Parasite brought the snack food 'Ram-Don' into the consciousness of the North American population, and now, an instant version of the Korean noodle dish is being released globally.

Typically consumed as a fast food in Korea and referred to as ''jjapaguri' or 'chapaguri,' Ram-Don is comprised of Ramen and Udon noodles, which offers a twist on the heavily consumer noodle dish. Following the success of Parasite, Nongshim, a South Korean food brand, will be creating and releasing an instant version of this dish in the flavors 'Angri-Chapaguri Big Bowl' and 'Zapaguri Big Bowl.'

An exact release date has not been set, but the instant noodles are set to hit grocery store shelves globally.
