ramyeon

Quick Korean soup

Ramyeon is Korean instant noodles—the quick-cooking kind sold in packets with seasoning.

The word distinguishes Korean-style instant noodles from Japanese ramen, though both derive from the same Chinese origin.

Korean ramyeon typically comes spicier and is often cooked with added vegetables, egg, or cheese: Let's just make ramyeon tonight.
