History edit

In 1971, Japanese food company Nissin Foods introduced Nissin Cup Noodles,[7] a cup noodle to which boiling water is added to cook the noodles. A further innovation added dried vegetables to the cup, creating a complete instant soup dish. Both Cup Noodle and Cup Noodles are registered trademarks of Nissin Foods.[1]

South Korean Nongshim's Bowl Noodle Soup

Keop-ramyeon is famous in South Korea. Popular instant noodles include Nongshim's Bowl Noodle Soup, Shin Cup Noodle Soup and Samyang's Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen.[9] South Korea has the largest quantity of consumption of instant noodle or precooked instant noodle's country per year.[10] Based on market research, males consume more precooked instant noodle than females in South Korea. It is the second largest food type after steamed rice that contributes to the overall energy intake of individuals in South Korea.[11] Furthermore, the younger generation (20 to 49 years old) are more likely to consume them and the demographic of consuming bowl-type noodles are the middle class or high class. Samyang Foods produced the first container noodle in Korea, Cup Ramen, in March 1972, and Nongshimsa developed the first bowl-shaped bowl noodle in Korea in November 1981. Since then, several types of cup noodles have been developed. Typical cup noodles include Nongshim's Shin Ramen, Ottogi's Jin Ramen, and Paldo's Lunch Box. With the release of Buldak Stir-fried Noodles in Samyang since 2012, the popularity of spicy ramen spread through SNS in Korea. As it was released as a cup noodle as well, "Big Cup Buldak Stir-Fried Noodles" became popular, with consumers consuming more convenient cup noodles. In addition, as recipes for eating triangular kimbap and cheese together began to spread on the Internet and SNS to challenge the spicy taste, a new method of "mixing" the existing ramen noodles, which are easy to mix, has increased in the process. In the same vein, sales of both cup noodles and soup-free bibimmyeon in cup noodles have increased.[12]

Boiling water is added to the noodles to cook them.
