* What are Non-Frying Noodles?
These are noodles that are naturally dried with hot air after they are cooked without frying them in oil. They are also called “hot air dried noodles” because they are dried by passing the cooked noodles through a hot air dryer where hot air of around 100˚C circulates for about 30 minutes. Compared to fried noodles, the texture is dense, so the cooking time is slightly longer, but it is less oily and has a great clean taste.

Traditionally, jjajangmyeon was a popular dish enjoyed at restaurants. Chapagetti was created to make this national favorite more accessible anytime, anywhere.
The iconic advertising slogan, “On Sundays, I’m the Chapagetti Chef,” led to a Chapagetti craze, with many families enjoying it for Sunday lunch. Although many similar instant jjajangmyeon products have come and gone, Chapagetti remains a top 10 instant noodle brand even after 30 years.

* What is a fried noodle?
Fried noodles are a type of noodle that has been cooked and then deep-fried in oil. By frying the cooked noodles in oil heated to 150°C, the moisture content can be reduced to less than 10%, preventing the growth of microorganisms. Companies like Nongshim manage to reduce the moisture content of their fried noodles to less than 7%, allowing for long-term storage without the need for preservatives. This process also makes the noodles easier to cook and gives them a unique flavor.
