Neoguri (instant noodle)

Neoguri is a brand of ramyeon produced by South Korean company Nongshim since 1982.[1] It is exported to over 80 countries,[2] and is the fourth highest selling brand of noodles in South Korea.[3] It is well known for its thick noodles and its spicy seafood flavour. The Korean version has a big piece of kombu, while the U.S. version does not have the kombu in it.
