Ramen with the flavor of clams! I never thought I would ever live to see a cup of noodles like this. Not only does this ramen taste clammy, but it is made by and features some of South Korea’s most famous internet characters. “Apeach” is the name of this character from Kakao Friends and apparently he or she loves Italian Pasta. Loosely based on the white wine and clam sauced Spaghetti alle Vongole, Kakao Friends Vongole Ramen is here to satisfy your craving for seafood pasta. Here’s how to make this specialty cup of noodles.

Step 1.) Completely remove the lid from the cup and take out the 2 packets found inside
