Rah-me-un: Delicious

When I first got out here I asked my students what their favorite food is.  Many said "rahmeun" or "lahmeun".  I thought to myself, "What the hell is lahmeun??"  They were, of course, saying ramen--as in ramen noodles.  Koreans of all ages love this American-college-student-staple.

No wonder Koreans love it so much; the ramen of Korea is considerably better than the 10 cent Chicken or Beef flavor with which you are familiar.  There are many more flavor options.  This ramen with "HOT TASTE" is one of my favorites:

You get more than just the standard flavor packet inside the package.  You stir in an additional packet of veggies.

The best thing that Koreans do to ramen, which I highly recommend trying, is to add an egg to the boiling water while the noodles are cooking.  This really enhances the meal.  I am shocked college students didn't try this earlier considering eggs are the next cheapest food after ramen.
