🖤 Introducing “Seoul Jjajang” – A Healthier Choice
The Seoul Jjajang ramen is a non-fried noodle variety (Never Fried – 360 kcal), made with Pulmuone’s air-dried noodles which are known for being lighter and healthier compared to traditional fried noodles. It’s perfect if you want something indulgent but a little less greasy.
🥢 How to Cook (Super Easy!)
Cooking this ramen is simple and quick. Here’s how:
Boil 600ml of water, add the noodles, and cook for about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
Leave about 30ml of water (approx. 5 tablespoons) and discard the rest.
Add the included roasting sauce powder and mix thoroughly.
Done! You now have a steaming bowl of rich, glossy jjajang noodles.
