The spicy numbing flavor of Malatang is preserved, while the taste of Sichuan peppercorn, a spice unfamiliar to Korean palates, is lightly applied, and the flavor of red pepper powder is enhanced. In addition, a large amount of vegetables used in Malatang, such as cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, and bok choy, are dried to create a rich visual and refreshing broth taste.



Seven Eleven expects that the newly launched Malatangmyeon will alleviate consumers' concerns about the high price of Malatang in the market. An Jonghyun, the MD in charge of the ambient food team at Seven Eleven, said, "With the recent high inflation situation, the preference for spicy flavors has increased, and we planned this product so that Malatang, which is somewhat expensive as a dining-out menu, can be enjoyed cheaply and casually at convenience stores near home."
