Review: Forget Youtube. Try it spice lovers! - Well, I just HAD to try this after seeing many Youtube videos (buldak bokkeum myun or fire noodle callenge) of people trying this ramen. I can take spice pretty well, but even then I was a bit scared to try this assuming it's probably a sadistically hot inedible product aspiring fame through people's agony. With the cooked ramyun bowl in front of me, I breathed in deep, meditated a little, and then took the first bite. I must say I was both disappointed and relieved at the same time. It was not nearly as spicy as I had expected, and it was quite tasty! The sauce flavor is akin to the popular Korean dish Ddukbokki, except it's a little more savory (chicken?) and spicier. The sweetness tapers down the level of spice, and I finished the bowl without flinching although my nose pooled sweat long afterwards. As for a relevant gauge, if you enjoy and can eat Buffalo Wild's "hot" wings, then you won't have trouble finishing this. I also noticed that many people prep this noodle incorrectly and comment that it lacks flavor. The noodles won't lack flavor if you don't dilute it down by cooking it like other common ramen noodles. I noticed there's no English instruction on the received product anywhere, so I decided to post the translated cooking instruction: 1. Boil 3 cups (or more) of water, and then cook the noodles for 5 minutes. 2. Drain water (leave about 8 spoons worth), add the packaged liquid hot sauce, and then return to stove to stir the noodles at low heat for about 30 seconds. 3. Turn off the stove, then mix in the dry sesame/seaweed package with the noodles. On step 1, I've boiled for 4.5 minutes instead for firmer noodles. Step 2 is important - you should pretty much drain off most of the water you see using your fork/chopsticks as strainer as you pour off excess water off your cooking pot, and you should have just enough water hidden in noodles for a saucy consistency, not liquidy. Stirring on heat with the hot paste incorporates the flavor and thickens the sauce. If you end up with too much juice, raise the heat a bit and evaporate off the water until the sauce thickens. When properly prepared, the sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and allow the sesame seeds to stick to the lifted noodles. I noticed that my received product's expiration date was less than 6 months away (8/30/2015). I will have no trouble finishing the noodles before the expiration, but it can be off-putting to buy any almost expired product. I'm not sure what the usual expiration is for the ramyun given the inclusion of the liquid paste, but the noodles didn't smell stale nor rancid as I could usually tell from almost stale ramyun noodles. All in all, this was very worth a try to resolve my curiosity after laughing so much at Youtube people's reactions, and I feel superior and stronger! oh~~ my stomach is starting to burn... Update: Curiosity got me to try the more convenient cup ramyun version of this (my packs were gone too soon!), and I prefer these cooking packets hands down. The cup noodles are much thinner and less chewy, and you don't get as savory deeper taste attained by cooking the liquid paste with noodles. The cup version's instruction tells you to drain off all water before adding the flavor packets, so you're definitely supposed to consume these with practically no liquid. The thicker noodles in the cooking packs need help to infuse the flavor in the step #2 above (the reason to leave some water to cook off), and you get 140g instead of 70g (small cup) or 105g (big cup) instant versions. Besides the packs being much more affordable, you get more of it along with much better taste when you prepare it properly. Time to order some more...

They are chicken, not pork. That being said... There are two ways of thinking about these noodles. On one hand, the freeze-dried nuclear holocaust inside this package will purge your entire system of anything unclean for sure. I mean, they'll also probably take your stomach lining with it, but, you know, priorities. On the other hand, while eating these noodles may not be technically against particular religious tenants, you'll experience a small sample of Hell nonetheless. You'll experience pleasure from the great flavor, but punishment will be swift and brutal. You'll probably survive the ordeal, but a recovery period is probably necessary before the next indulgence. Are you permitted to eat these noodles? Well... yes. *Should* you eat these noodles? Err... well... I won't say no because they are delicious, but I won't say yes because I don't want liability concerns if you somehow transform into a fire breathing dragon. **Q: Is this really just 5 individual serving packs for $14? Seems a bit steep.** A: Yes, it is steep, but shipping cost is around $10 for the 5 pack, so that's why it around $14. **Q: Does anyone know what flavor these are? I'm vegan, but want to try these.** A: As of December 2020, the current version of these have EGG listed in the ingredients for the "flakes" (sesame seeds, seaweed, and EGG). I'm vegan too and was pretty upset because I ate multiple packs before randomly noticing the new, and frankly unnecessary, ingredient. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forget Youtube.

When he started becoming more interested in different types of ramen, we started gathering those as well - and as part of that we picked a couple spicy options. This was one. I went ahead and cooked them up, and couldn't help but wonder if maybe I was making a bad decision. It's late. I get heartburn if I eat past a certain time. Spicy foods make it worse. (Aging is a pain in the rear.) I could think of a million reasons to not try to eat these at 8PM but surely they can't be too bad, right? The noodles are a little thicker than I'm used to and I was pleasantly surprised by that. The "flake" topping is a furikake so afterwards I added some more of my own favorite furikake seasoning because it sounded like a good idea. I tried a bite, then my son took a bite. For a few initial sweet milliseconds, it was okay. It was good. It had flavor. That's all I remember about actual taste, because after that it was nothing but pain. This coming from someone who likes spicy foods, but has never done any kind of spice challenges. My son was out after one bite and grabbed milk for us both. I got four or five bites in and decided I had to stop. There was no benefit to continuing. I would make a different ramen and be done with the agonizing burn on my mouth and lips. I think my fight or flight mechanism kicked in around then and I realized that I could run from the noodles.. Or I could battle them. And I wanted more. I sat back down. It took me half an hour but I finished the bowl, and between the two of us my kiddo and I destroyed a half gallon of milk (and I definitely now feel pretty nauseated thanks to it). It hurts. It burns. I don't know if I will ever feel anything else again besides agony. I will eat more in a few days. This is great ramen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samyang Dried Noodle Buldak Bag Noodles, Hot Chicken, 140g (Pack of 5) - Samyang Carbo Buldak Nuclear Fire Fried Super Hot Spicy Noodle 5 Pack - Samyang Hot Chicken Buldak Ramen Noodle Cheese Flavor (Pack of 5) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/82531278-buldak-original](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/82531278-buldak-original) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
