About this ramen

Budae Ramyun borrows its flavor from budae jjigae, the hearty Korean army stew that pairs a spicy broth with ingredients like cheese and processed meats. Nongshim's version builds the broth from pork bone and beef bone extracts with soybean paste, garlic and ginger. Cheddar cheese flavor adds a rich, savory edge to the chili heat. Dried kimchi flakes, fish cake and green onion go into the pot with the noodles. There are no actual sausage or ham pieces in the pack, and it contains milk, fish and soy as well as wheat.
