Chapaghetti, Noodles with Black Bean Sauce 140 g - Nongshim

Chapaghetti is Nongshim's Korean interpretation of Chinese-style jajangmyeon—wheat noodles in a thick, savory-sweet black bean sauce with vegetable oil and flakes. Introduced in 1984, it remains one of South Korea’s top-selling instant noodles, offering a comforting and indulgent meal in minutes.

Fun Fact

Chapaghetti was the first instant noodle to mimic jajangmyeon in South Korea, launching March 19, 1984. It later became central to “Chapaguri” (ram-don), the kimchi and black bean noodle mash-up featured in the Oscar-winning movie Parasite.
