Ramyeon (라면), often translated as instant noodles, is a Korean instant noodle dish made by boiling a precooked and dried noodle block with flavoring powder or sauce. The prototype of a South Korea ramyeon is red and spicy, with or without common topping such as an egg, chopped scallions, and chili peppers. Best selling ramyeon in 2016 includes Shin Ramyun (Nongshim), Jin Ramen (Ottogi), Ansungtangmyun (Nongshim), Samyang Ramen (Samyang Food), and Neoguri (Nongshim).
The word ramyeon (라면) derived from Japanese rāmen (ラーメン), which derived from Chinese lāmiàn (拉面) or lǎomiàn (老面).Ramyeon is not considered as a Sino-Korean word.
The first instant ramyeon in South Korea was introduced by Samyang Food in 1963 with technical assistance from Myojo Foods Co. Japan, which provided manufacturing equipment. The Lotte Food Industrial Company (currently named Nongshim) invigorated the Korean market of ramyeon in 1965.
In 2010s until now, Korean stores and restaurants have spread over the whole world. Baguio City has several Korean restaurants serving Ramyeon.
