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
Step 2.) Pour the powdered soup packet on top of the uncooked instant noodles
Step 3.) Boil water and fill up to the fill line
Step 4.) Place the cup in the microwave and heat for 3 minutes and 30 seconds (700 watts)
Step 5.) Remove the cup from the microwave and pour the seasoned oil into the cup
Step 6.) Mix well and Enjoy!
Boom! That’s it for preparing Vongole Ramen! I hope you found this article informative and useful for making those delicious cups of instant noodles you receive from South Korea.
