Ramdon: noodle dish from Parasite movie means a lot (+ recipe)

If you saw Oscar-winner “Parasite” Korean movie, probably, you noticed a Ramdon dish. There are 3 interesting facts about it:

  1. This word was made by a translator, as a mixture of Ramen and Udon, because the original word would be too difficult for non-Koreans. Original word “jjapaguri” means a mixture of 2 different noodle brands.

  2. This dish is something special, Korean. For Ramdon you’ll need 2 types of cheap noodles and expensive high quality steak beef.

  3. Ramdon is very symbolic for this movie, it shows also the mixture of rich and poor families.

The recipe:

Take 300 gram of steak beef, 1 package of Chapaghetti noodles and 1 package of Neoguri noodles.

Cut meat in 2 cm pieces, mix with salt, pepper and olive oil. Fry (without additional oil) 5 minutes from each side. Take the meat out of the pan.

Boil 1,2l of water in the pot, add dry noodles and only herbs from the noodle packages. Cook 2 minutes.

Put noodles from the pot to the pan, add spices and oil from the noodle packages and a cup of water from noodles. Add fried meat, mixed all together, fry for 1 minute.

Ready! Enjoy your meal!
