Ottogi Ramyeon Sari is a product that contains only the noodles — with no seasoning sachet or soup powder included. The word "Sari" in Korean means "a bundle of noodles" or "extra noodles." This product is designed to be added to an already-prepared broth dish (such as Budae-jjigae, Jeon-gol, or Doenjang-jjigae), or to be freely combined with any sauce of your choice. Think of it like pasta — a base ingredient to be used with your preferred sauce or broth. The 5-pack format means you can use it repeatedly across a variety of dishes.

Yes, this product is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The ingredients consist of wheat flour, modified tapioca starch, palm oil, salt, wheat gluten, vegetable extract (onion, garlic, carrot), acidity regulators (E501, E500), and colour (E101 riboflavin) — no animal-derived ingredients are included. Please note that this information is based on the EU export label; we recommend checking the ingredient list on the product packaging directly before purchase.

This product contains Gluten. Wheat flour and wheat gluten are key ingredients, so anyone with coeliac disease or a wheat/gluten allergy should avoid this product. It is not a gluten-free product. Additionally, an important note: some export versions of this product for certain markets have been reported to contain egg ingredients (eggshell powder). Please check the allergen labelling on the EU export packaging carefully, and exercise particular caution if you have an egg allergy.

Preparation is very straightforward. Simply boil the noodles in water for approximately 2–3 minutes. Since there is no seasoning sachet, you can pair them freely with any sauce or broth. Ideas for enjoying them in Europe: ① Simmer in vegetable stock with soy sauce and mushrooms for a Korean- or Japanese-inspired noodle soup. ② Use with a cream sauce or tomato sauce as you would pasta. ③ Use as the noodle component in a stir-fry. The noodles have a characteristically springy, chewy texture and pair well with ingredients readily available at European supermarkets.
