Korean bibim myeon noodles aka Golbim Men with whelk (golbaengi) and green onions
There is denitely a smell of fall in the air and these cooler days are making me think
about Ramen or Ramyeon () in proper Korean Piping hot instant noodle
soups..theres nothing that can warm you up instantly, both physically and mentally on a
cold day warming you all the way to the deep inside your stomach. When I was in
college at Ewha womans University, I think I had Kimchi Bowl Noodle Soup (
Sabalmyeon) and a peach yogurt for lunch, at least 3 times a week!! The main reason for
this limited, not so healthy lunch menu was because our engineering department
building was at the highest elevation within Ewhas campus. My friends and I used to joke
that one of us should strike it rich and install an escalator going up to the building..
because it was just too &*!# many stairs!!! The closest cafeteria or snack shop was just too
far too many stairs to climb coming back.. especially when I had tons of programming
homework to do. I also wore high heels a lot I was young and foolish.. haha
The rst Korean instant noodles company, Samyang Ramyeon, produced its rst batch of
ramen in 1963. Samyang started ramen with the help from Japanese Myojo Foods by
importing their machines and recipes. The Japanese version of somewhat bland (for
Korean taste) chicken broth really did not do much for Koreans. You know how Koreans
love spicy foods. But once Samyang changed

love spicy foods. But once Samyang changed the soup recipe by adding Korean red chili
powder and garlic, Koreans have been hooked on Ramen ever since. Today, there are over
100+ different kinds of Korean Ramen in the market and Korea is worlds top consumer of
ramen based on number of ramen consumed per person.
Korean ramen has come a long way since the 60s, now MSG are no longer in most ramen
and most noodles are no longer deep fried. Even if the noodles are fried, it is fried using
good quality vegetable oils.
Recently, mixing or blending ramen has become a popular trend in Korea. Ramen
Blending is a term created by Koreans for mixing two or more instant ramens to achieve
a new avor. This new style of making ramen all got started with a TV show called Dad!
Where are we going? where singer Yoon Min Soos son Yoonhoo decided to mix
Chapagetti and Neoguri together and called it Chapaguri!!! LOL! I loved watching the show
when I was in Korea so fun and so heartwarming.
Below I introduce 3 easy instant ramen noodle recipes:
1. Chapaguri() Chapagetti + Neoguri

2. Kimbura() Kimchi + Butter + Ramen
3. Golbim Men ()- Golbaengi (Whelk) + Bibim Men + Cucumber + Green Onion
#1 HOW TO MAKE CHAPAGURI CHAPAGETTI + NEOGURI
Servings: 2 Time: 5 min Difculty: VERY EASY!!
Ingredients
1 packet Chapagetti ()
1 packet Neoguri ()
5 cups water (1200 ml)
1 green onions, chopped (optional)
1 small handful of cucumbers, julienned(optional)
1. Boil 5 cups of water.

2. Open dry akes packet from both packages and add to pot.
Korean instant noodles(Chapagetti and Neoguri )
Dry flakes from Chapagetti and Neoguri, Korean instant noodles

3. Add both noodles to pot and boil for 2 min.

4. Drain water (about half) from pot, still leaving enough water to just barely coat noodles.
5. Return noodles to heat. Lower heat to medium low and let it simmer. Add all of
Chapagetti seasoning packet and 1/2 of Neoguri packet. Simmer noodles for another 2-3
min until most of the liquid is gone and noodles are coated in sauce.
6. Serve with lots of fresh chopped green onions (this really adds freshness) and
optionally julienned cucumbers. Kimchi or Danmuji (pickled daikon radish) is a must
side dish.
Here is how it looks and it actually tastes as good as it looks!

I started out thinking that I will taste a little bit of Kimbura ramen but ended up eating the
whole bowl! I almost didnt get to take this picture because I was so busy eating it. haha
Kimchi Butter Ramen (Kimbura)
Here is a picture of Kimbura in my special noodle bowl made by my daughter when she
was like 10..Im so happy I remembered to use the bowl in my pictures! Note the little heart
on the side of the bowl.. brings a smile to my face. Who knew mom would use it for her
blog someday

#3 HOW TO MAKE GOLBIM MEN GOLBEANGI + BIBIM MEN
Golbim Men is the last instant ramen recipe. The idea for the recipe was introduced by boy
band Shinhwas Kim Dong-Won, also on Happy Together (Korean TV show). He says he got
the recipe from a friend who went to Paris to attend culinary school. I love Golbaengi so I
was really excited to make this recipe! Golbaengi (Bai Top Shell Meat) or Whelk (small sea
snail) comes in canned form in most Korean markets. Here is what it looks like:
Korean Golbaengi (sea snail or whelk)
If you cant get Golbaengi or dont like the idea of it (very understandable), substitute with
cooked squid or calamari.
Servings: 1 Time: 8 min Difculty: Easy
Ingredients
1 Korean Bibim Men

2 green onion or 1 korean daepa (young leek)
1 handful of cucumber slices
1 handful of cucumber slices
1 handful of golbaengi (whelk or bai top shell meat)
sesame seeds
sesame oil
1. Cook bibim noodles according to package directions.
Bibim Men Korean Bibim Instant Noodles
2. Rinse cooked noodles in cold water 2-3 times and drain. Set aside.
3. Cut green onion into thin slices and soak in cold water for 2-3 min. Drain. (See my
Chapsal Bulgogi post for more details on how to make those curly Korean green onions)
4. Cut cucumber into thin oval slices and then in half.
5. Cut golbaengi into smaller bite size pieces.

sauce and add for more spicy avor. Chogochujang (sour and sweet red chili bean paste
10 sauce) recipe can be found on my Korean Sauces Post.

The version with seafood is my favorite!
Golbaengi could be replaced by mussels too. So delicious!

Ive been looking around for recipes on how to make my plain ol ramen better
so Im happy to have found this! I have 1 question though, for the kimchi butter one, do
you buy the kimchi already made? Kimchi is a huge process to make but I have no idea
where to buy it or what brand is the best tasting for pre made kimchi.
REPLY
JinJoo says
Hi! Great to hear that! Yes, I agree that Kimchi making is a little bit
involved.. I am not sure where you live but the best tasting ones are obviously
from Korea. Chongga () and Pulmuone are my favorite brands and are quite
consistent in their taste. You may also want to try some local kimchi sold at your
Korean market. Just be sure to ripen them properly see my No Crazy Kimchi post
for more info. For majority of Kimchis, if you can ripen them properly, they will all
taste pretty good. And use fully ripened kimchi if possible. Hope this helps! Also,

adding an egg to any ramen (the soupy kind) will make it more hearty and
satisfying. Crack an egg into the rmaen about half way done. Also, andy or all of

napa cabbage, onions, carrots and bean sprouts will all work really well.
