Hedy Khoo shows you how to make Ram-Don from Bong Joon-ho's Parasite | Hed Chef | The New Paper
Ram-don is a name coined by Seoul-based US film scholar Darcy Paquet, who wrote Parasite's English subtitles. He had found it difficult to translate Jjapaguri.
In Parasite, Jjapaguri is made by combining two types of noodles - Chapagetti Chajangmyun Noodles, made using black bean sauce, and Neoguri Seafood & Spicy Ramyun, an udon-style soup-based noodle product.
Since the release of the South Korean movie Parasite last year, fans have been raving about ram-don, which is made using two types of instant noodles and topped with premium Hanwoo beef.
In one scene, rich housewife Mrs Park (Cho Yeo-jeong) instructs her housekeeper (Jang Hye-jin) to prepare ram-don, with the addition of premium Hanwoo beef, within eight minutes.
The craze for the hybrid dish has intensified since Parasite clinched four Oscars in February.
