Mandu (dumpling) ramyeon refers to the addition of dumplings to regular noodles, and the menu name varies depending on the addition of various ingredients.
Ramyeon is a ready-to-eat dish made of steam-cooked noodles, fried in oil and dried, with a separate powdered soup, or a dish made by boiling the noodles in water. In South Korea, when people say "Ramyeon" without any other modifiers, they are mostly referring to instant ramen, especially bagged ramen. If the ramen is packaged in cups and ready to cook in water, it's called cup ramen.
Ramen is one of South Korea's signature dishes and usually consists of noodles, soup, and a variety of additional ingredients. The most common type of noodle is yutang noodles, which are twisted flour noodles deep-fried in oil, but there are also dried noodles that are sometimes marketed as dietary or preservative. Eggs, garlic, and scallions are popular additions, while dumplings, rice cakes, sausage, and cheese are often added to make the dish more filling. They are also used to make sari after eating a dish with broth.
This dish is popular not only in Korea but also in other parts of the world because it's a quick meal or a simple midnight snack. It's also very cost-effective, so it's always a favorite among students and people with light pockets.
