In Korea, when you go to the Han River, there’s this unspoken rule : You eat ramyeon.     We even call it Hangang ramyeon (ν•œκ°•λΌλ©΄) — it’s not just food, it’s part of the experience. These ramyeon cookers are ready to go   — just press and watch your noodle dream come true! ^^ And no, it’s not just cup noodles.  Thanks to a little machine called the electronic ramyeon cooker ,  you can enjoy hot, freshly boiled ramyeon outdoors — right by the river.
