the popularity of Nongshim’s Ansungtangmyun comes from the tasty flavour and noodles that are thin yet chewy. The soup has a mild spicy flavour, with seaweed flakes like any good miso soup. It is a favourite for people to add on their own ingredients, as the flavour works well with a variety of ingredients. “Ansung“ is a small city in Korea while “Tangmyun” means “noodle with soup.” Ansungtangmyun is from the countryside markets in the old times. In those days, each city had its distinct flavours with a rich variety of different soups served with rice and green onions, and soups full of cabbage as a quick and delicious way to take care of meals for villagers in Korea.
