This year, one of the instant food brands in Indonesia released Korean food products. The brand is "Mamasaka". Mamasuka released a number of instant and easy-to-cook food products. I bought instant japchae from that the brand. There are two variants of Japchae flavors produced by the brand, namely the original japchae flavor and the spicy taste. I bought the spicy japchae. I bought this product wrong. I didn't know there was real japchae, I knew after buying spicy japchae.

Instant japchae with original taste has orange color in packaging, while instant japchae with spicy taste has red color in packaging. So, you can tell the difference between the original and spicy japchae. On the front of the package, there is a fairly large japchae inscription. in fact, there are Korean letters as a marker that the food comes from Korea.
On the front of this food packaging, there is a very large "Mamukaka" brand. In addition, there is also a "halal" logo from the Indonesian Ulema Council. with the "halal" logo, this meal can be eaten by the Muslim community. Another thing, there is the words "Korean Instant Fried Vermicelli" under the halal logo. Thus, it can be ascertained that this food is one of the ready-to-eat Korean foods.

End now, there are quite a lot of Korean instant foods in Indonesia. Especially, during a pandemic when people are doing work from home. as an entertainment that can be done, people watch a lot of dramas and films produced by that country. Even the price is quite affordable for many people.
On the back of the package is this instant vermicelli cooking system. Just like cooking instant noodles, cooking this dish only takes 3 minutes. For those of you who don't have much time to cook, this dish is perfect for you.

Just like other instant noodles. Inside the food packaging, there are spices, oil and vermicelli. Since the ingredients provided are so practical, you may want to add vegetables to complete this meal. To give the impression that the food comes from Korea, you can add carrots and mushrooms when cooking this dish. And you can also add chicken or sausage.
For those of you who are on a diet, this food is not suitable. Because it has a large enough calorie content. There are 400 calories in the package. 3.5 grams of fat. It has 89 grams of carbohydrates. In one package it weighs about an ounce [111 grams]. If you add vegetables and eggs, you can be sure this food will have more than 500 calories.
I added tofu prawns and meatballs as a complement to the meal. First, the thing you need to prepare, boil water in a saucepan. Wait until the water boils. After that, the shrimp tofu and meatballs are boiled first. Boil the tofu prawns and meatballs for one minute, then put the vermicelli into the pot
While waiting for the tofu prawns and vermicelli to cook, you can prepare a plate for this dish. And put the spices and oil in the plate to be used. After the vermicelli and shrimp tofu are cooked, discard the boiled water. Put the vermicelli and shrimp tofu on a plate that has been seasoned with japchae. Food is ready to eat. For those of you who don't like spicy, spicy japchae is not for you. I encourage you to buy the original japchae.
