South Korea edit South Korean
Keop-ramyeon is famous in South Korea. Nongshims Bowl Noodle Soup, Shin Cup Noodle Soup, and Samyangs Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen are some of the well-known instant noodles. [9] The nation that consumes the most instant noodles or precooked instant noodles annually is South Korea. [10] According to market research, men in South Korea consume more precooked instant noodles than women do. It is the second most common food type in South Korea, after steamed rice, in terms of total energy intake. [11] Additionally, younger people (20 to 49 years old) are more likely to eat them, and middle-class or upper-class people are the ones who eat bowl-type noodles. In March 1972, Samyang Foods introduced Cup Ramen, the nation’s first container noodle, while Nongshimsa created the nation’s first bowl-shaped bowl noodle in November 1981. Since then, several types of cup noodles have been developed. Paldos Lunch Box, Ottogis Jin Ramen, and Nongshims Shin Ramen are examples of common cup noodles. Since Buldak Stir-fried Noodles became available in Samyang in 2012, spicy ramen has become more and more popular in Korea thanks to social media. “Big Cup Buldak Stir-Fried Noodles” gained popularity after being introduced as a cup noodle as well, with customers consuming more practical cup noodles. In addition, a new way of “mixing” the already-existing, easily-mixable ramen noodles has grown as recipes for pairing cheese with triangle kimbap, which challenges its spicy flavor, started to circulate on the Internet and social media. Concurrently, there has been a rise in sales of cup noodles and soup-free bibimmyeon. [12].
