I was eating bibimmyeon when my friend rinsed the noodles with tap water, and I ultimately cut ties with him.

It's a story about a friend who rinsed bibimmyeon noodles with tap water and then "cut ties" with them... What do you think?

Hmm.. Our family rinsed with filtered water, so we ate it..

Maybe it's because everyone is different, and they didn't like rinsing with tap water.. Hmm..

When I visit my in-laws' house, they rinse the noodles with tap water and make bibim guksu for me.

Drinking tap water is okay, but maybe rinsing with it isn't?

 

There is a story about someone who doesn't understand making food with tap water, which has become a hot topic among netizens.

Recently, an online community posted a message titled "I cut ties with my friend because they rinsed bibimmyeon with tap water."

Author A said, "I went to a friend's house and they said they would make bibim-myeon. At first, I argued because they were going to boil the water with tap water."

Eventually, I decided to boil noodles in bottled water. But he rinsed the noodles with tap water. I suddenly thought, "He's deliberately trying to challenge me." I was annoyed when he cursed at me after I got mad at him, so I just stormed out. I also blocked him on KakaoTalk.

"Must use bottled water" vs "It's okay to use tap water"

Most online users pointed out that Mr. A's behavior was wrong. They criticized, "How can you buy food outside? You're overreacting," "Do you brush your teeth or shower with bottled water too?" and "It's not even something he cooked himself; it was his friend who did it, so it was impolite."

Ramen is a food that everyone likes and has been loved for a long time because it is easy and quick to prepare. However, a debate about the water, which can be considered the beginning and the foundation of ramen preparation, continues steadily.

Some people insist that you must use bottled water when boiling ramen, while others say it's okay to use tap water.

There may be no 'correct answer' to this ongoing debate that has lasted for years. Since opinions can differ, it seems necessary to adopt an attitude of compromise and consideration for one another.
