The brand's debut instant pasta is packed with flavors inspired by traditional Korean cuisine, and the air-dried noodles themselves are made with a long period of boiling, then extended low-temperature drying to achieve a signature "bouncy" texture. The flat and wide noodles are paired with the popular flavor of [bulgogi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bulgogi-pizza) and fused with a familiar alfredo sauce, offering up a sweet and savory experience that puts a twist on ordinary weeknight pasta meals. Best of all, the K-pasta air-dried noodles and contents are all is designed to cook in one pot without having to drain the water. Tangle's unique brand design has been recognized with the 2023 Good Design Award in the area of Brand Design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 18% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Globally-inspired Instant Pasta:** The rise of globally-inspired instant pasta brands like Tangle present opportunities for innovative flavors and unique cooking experiences. - **Air-dried Noodles for Convenient Cooking:** The use of air-dried noodles in products like Tangle's Tangluccine offers a convenient and time-saving option for consumers looking for quick-cooking pasta. - **Fusion of Traditional and Familiar Flavors:** The fusion of traditional Korean flavors with familiar pasta sauces, as seen in Tangle's Bulgogi Alfredo Tangluccine, creates a unique and taste bud-pleasing dining experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Instant Food Industry:** The instant food industry can explore the development of globally-inspired flavors and unique cooking methods, as exemplified by Tangle's Korean-inspired instant pasta. - **Noodle Industry:** Innovations in the noodle industry, such as the use of air-dried noodles for one-pot cooking, open up opportunities for convenient and time-saving pasta products like Tangle's Tangluccine. - **Food Fusion and Innovation:** The food fusion and innovation industry can capitalize on the trend of combining traditional and familiar flavors, like Tangle's Bulgogi Alfredo Tangluccine, to create novel dining experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instant Protein Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangle-protein-pasta.md) - [Rapid-Cook Pasta Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-pasta-noodles.md) - [Spicy Korean Cuisine Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buldak-products.md) - [Hybrid Korean Macaroni Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulgogi-steak-mac-cheese.md) - [Instant Korean Cuisine Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namdong-instant-noodles.md) - [Streetstyle K-Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulmuone-kstreet-food.md) - [Globally Inspired Pasta Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-agile.md) - [Air-Dried Restaurant-Inspired Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momofuku-noodles.md) - [Korean Cuisine Instant Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pot-noodle-fusions-korean-bbq-beef.md)
