Jjapaguri or Chapaguri ( Korean: 짜파구리), also known in English as ram-don, is a South Korean noodle dish made by a combination of Chapagetti and Neoguri, two types of instant noodles produced by Nongshim. [1] Irene Jiang of Insider described it as " comfort food". [2] University of California East Asian studies professor Jennifer Jung-Kim described it as, as paraphrased by Sarah Coughlin, "a budget comfort food", and Coughlin herself described it as 'a uniquely Korean dish". [3]
Jjapaguri gained prominence on the internet and in South Korean pojangmachas when it was featured on an episode of Dad! Where Are We Going? in 2013. [4]
Darcy Paquet, the translator of the 2019 film Parasite, rendered the dish, featured in the film, as ram-don, meaning ramen- udon. [1] The English version of the film shows packages labelled in English " ramyeon" and "udon" to highlight to English speakers how the name was created. Paquet believed the word ram-don did not previously exist as he found no results on Google. [5] People began posting videos on how to make the dish on YouTube after the film was distributed. [1] The popularity of the dish led to Nongshim, the manufacturer of both products, selling a singular Chapaguri instant noodle package. [4]
