A heartier kind of instant noodle.

If you have been looking for an instant noodle dish with substance, look no further than Nong Shim's Chapaghetti. An instant version of Jajangmyeon, a Korean black spaghetti dish, this single serve pack of Chapaghetti consists of instant ramen-style noodles, savoury black bean sauce seasoned with onion and prawn, umami-rich seasoning oil, and mixed vegetable flakes that plump up and add texture when cooked. Ready to eat in just five minutes, Chapaghetti is hearty enough to enjoy as a light lunch or dinner.

“On Sundays, I’m the chef for Chapaghetti,” has been a Korean catchphrase for more than a decade. A combination of two dishes — jajangmyun (black bean noodles) and spaghetti — this saucy Korean instant noodle is the one that started the ram-don trend after its crucial role in the Oscar-winning film Parasite. The accompanying savory black bean sauce is all it really needs, though I highly recommend adding a luxe drizzle of truffle oil if you’re feeling fancy.
