Ottogi Launches 'Chogye Makguksu'..."Hearty Without Additional Ingredients"

Two Types Including Mul Makguksu and Bibim Makguksu

Ottogi announced on the 16th that it has launched two types of premium refrigerated noodles, ‘Chogye Makguksu’.

The new Chogye Makguksu products come in two varieties: ▲Chogye Mul Makguksu ▲Chogye Bibim Makguksu. They include savory buckwheat noodles, broth full of rich meat flavor, and a flavorful bibim sauce, along with tangy pickled radish and chicken breast toppings. Unlike existing home meal replacement (HMR) refrigerated noodles, which typically consist simply of noodles, broth, and bibim sauce, these products allow consumers to enjoy a complete bowl without needing any additional ingredients. Notably, both new products provide both broth and bibim sauce, giving consumers the advantage of adjusting and enjoying the dish according to their preference.

‘Chogye Mul Makguksu’ is a product where the light buckwheat noodles are enjoyed chilled with broth poured over them. The included broth tastes even better when slightly frozen in the freezer before eating, and adding the bibim sauce allows it to be enjoyed as a spicy mul makguksu according to taste. ‘Chogye Bibim Makguksu’ features savory buckwheat noodles topped with a spicy-sweet bibim sauce to be mixed and eaten. Adding the included broth according to preference creates a bibim makguksu with a slightly soupy texture, enhancing the umami flavor.

An Ottogi representative said, “With the early arrival of hot weather, we focused on the increasing demand for refreshing foods and launched two types of Chogye Makguksu that can be enjoyed fully without additional ingredients.” They added, “We will continue to introduce noodle products with restaurant-level taste and quality, targeting increasingly segmented consumer preferences.”
