Jjapaguri | Traditional Noodle Dish From South Korea, East Asia | TasteAtlas

Jjapaguri

(짜파구리, Ram-Don, Ramdon)

Jjapaguri is a Korean dish that consists of two types of instant noodles. It's also known as ram-den, a made-up word popularized in Boong Joon-Ho's movie Parasite, denoting a combination of ramen and udon. Jjapaguri combines Korean instant noodles such as Chapagetti (jajang ramen noodles) and Neoguri (udon noodles in a spicy seafood broth) for a budget comfort food item, while in the movie Parasite, the dish looks a bit fancier because it's topped with premium beef (hanu), showing how affluent the upper-class family really is.


In order to prepare ram-don at home, just combine Chapagetti and Neoguri, then top it with a well-marbled sirloin steak and garnish it with chopped green onions, if desired.
