About Chapagetti
Chapagetti is an instant version of jajangmyeon, noodles in black bean sauce. Sales rose sharply worldwide after the 2019 film Parasite featured a dish combining it with Neoguri, a combination Korean audiences already knew as ram-don. Nongshim has made it since 1984, and it is one of the largest instant noodle brands in South Korea.
