Pulmuone Launches Clean and Convenient K-Noodle 'Instant Kalguksu'

Beef Bone Broth and Two Types of Seafood... Clear Broth with Low Starch Release

Pulmuone Foods announced on the 25th the launch of two new instant Kalguksu products (‘Hanwoo Sagol Kalguksu’ and ‘Seafood Kalguksu’) that are easier to prepare at home by introducing a hot water treatment process, allowing consumers to enjoy a clean broth until the last drop.

‘Yeoltangmyeon’ refers to noodles that are boiled in hot water and then quickly rinsed in cold water. When cooking the product, the amount of starch released from the noodles is very low, which allows for a clean broth to be enjoyed until the last bite. Additionally, the shelf life is extended to 90 days, making storage easier compared to the existing refrigerated fresh noodles (37 days).

Pulmuone planned and developed the instant Kalguksu using the hot water method by combining the latest facilities and noodle-making expertise of its ‘state-of-the-art HMR fresh noodle factory,’ and this is the first time it has been introduced. Starting with the first hot water noodle product, instant Kalguksu, Pulmuone plans to expand the hot water noodle product line to various menus and take the lead in spreading ‘K-Noodle’ globally. In the future, they plan to release room-temperature hot water noodles and optimize for export, continuously expanding the diverse K-Noodle convenience food lineup and increasing export volume to the global market.

The new instant Kalguksu features chewy and soft noodles made by applying a vacuum kneading and aging process, achieving a professional restaurant-style texture. It is also convenient to prepare by simply adding the included noodles to boiling broth and boiling for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

‘Instant Hanwoo Sagol Kalguksu’ maximizes the savory and rich flavor of the broth by using carefully selected Hanwoo beef bones simmered for 12 hours. Various vegetables such as garlic and ginger are used during the broth-making process to remove any off-flavors, resulting in a clean taste. ‘Instant Seafood Kalguksu’ features a refreshing broth richly brewed with clams and dried pollack. The included toppings are generously composed of zucchini, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and more, allowing for a deeper Kalguksu flavor experience.

A Pulmuone Foods representative said, “As the weather becomes noticeably cooler, consumers seeking warm broth dishes are increasing, and we have introduced instant Kalguksu, a convenient and delicious meal that the whole family can enjoy easily. We will continue to offer a variety of hot water noodle products that enhance convenience by reflecting customers’ tastes and needs, and aim to increase satisfaction among domestic and international consumers.”
