Ottogi’s Cream Jinjjambbong Instant Noodles are a rich and buttery enhancement to our beloved jjambbong, all in a convenient package. If you like cream with your seafood or seafood with your cream, then these noodles might be for you. I know I personally enjoy a bowl of seafood cream pasta when I head out for some Italian food. Cream goes well with virtually anything, but it really does pair well with some seafood flavor. I hope you’re ready to jump right into some dreamy cream with this one. So, let’s dive right in!

Step 1.) Partially open the lid and remove the 3 packets from inside
