What pops into your head first when you think of Asian food?

Maybe rice, dumplings… and of course: noodles!

Besides rice, noodles are one of Korea’s staple foods. In Korean supermarkets, you’ll see aisles and aisles of different noodle types. Each with their own unique texture and flavours:

In your country you may have seen a noodle product called ‘SHIN Noodles [신라면]‘. This brand of noodles is the most well-known and the oldest noodle product in Korea.

    Hi Chloe

    I tried adding one teaspoon of sugar to my ramyun yesterday, and it does improve the flavor! I have always wondered why is it that the ramyun at the Korean restaurants seem to taste alot better than the ones I make at home. :-)
