Bibim Men (Korean Ramen) 비빔면

Bibim Men

Korea has many types of ramen including soup ramen,  dry ramen, spicy ramen and cold ramen with various more types.

Bibim Men is a cold spicy ramen. Yes you eat it cold! The proper way to eat this ramen is to drench it in cold water right after cooking it.

This type of ramen has a different taste and texture compared to hot ramen. The noodles are more fine and the sauce has a more vinaigrette flavour. 

Once the noodles have been cooled and mixed with the sauce they can be enjoyed with an egg, vegetable, beef or any other side dish. You can also eat them alone by themselves.

The noodles when mixed with the sole sauce package taste like a pepper vinegar mix which is very delicious. This ramen does pack a mild spiciness that is noticeable but not unbearable like some other ramen that might make you reach for milk. The pepper flakes and small pieces of seaweed (김)  work really well in this ramen. 

This ramen should be tried as it delivers a whole new ramen experience as most people haven't eaten cold noodles before. The spiciness is bearable and the taste is overall mild. So if you enjoy ramen pick this up and tell me how you felt about it.
