冠軍泡麵：不加水，改加啤酒
他的冠軍料理叫「奶油拉格煙燻辣椒拉麵」。做法是先用油炒洋蔥和大蒜，再加入墨西哥煙燻辣椒醬（chipotle）、啤酒和辛拉麵的調味粉一起煮，接著放麵、奶油和檸檬皮，用小火收汁，旁邊再配上用辛拉麵調味粉醃過的烤雞肉串。阿里郎電視台形容，他是用啤酒代替水來煮湯底。
EN His winning dish was called butter lager chipotle ramyun. He fried onion and garlic in oil, then cooked them with chipotle sauce, beer and Shin Ramyun seasoning. Next he added noodles, butter and lemon zest, and cooked it slowly until the sauce thickened. He served it with grilled chicken marinated in the seasoning.

現炸泡麵排隊 2 公里，三天湧入 40 萬人
龜尾拉麵節能辦得這麼熱鬧，是因為當地有農心的龜尾工廠，負責韓國國內約 75% 的辛拉麵產量，從 1991 年營運至今。節慶現場最受歡迎的是販售工廠當天生產「現炸泡麵」的區域，排隊人龍最長達 2 公里，主辦單位還得限制每人購買數量。
EN The festival is so lively because Nongshim’s Gumi factory is there. It has operated since 1991 and makes about 75 percent of Korea’s Shin Ramyun. The most popular area sold freshly made noodles from that day’s production. The line stretched up to two kilometers, so organizers had to limit how much each person could buy.
