Here you get the original “Fire Noodle” with its deep, spicy flavor and characteristic chili sauce – in five portions. Perfect for those who want a stock ready for spicy cravings, or to share the experience with friends and family.
This edition is the original variant that laid the foundation for the entire Buldak-series and is still among the most popular in the range.
Flavor and heat in perfect balance
Hot Chicken Ramen 1x Strong offers an intense flavor profile with notes of chili, garlic and an umami-rich soy sauce. The characteristic red sauce is sweet, salty and burning – but without overwhelming the whole dish. The noodles are thick and elastic, as you know them from Korean instant noodles.
🌶️ Heat level: 4 out of 5
🔥 Scoville level: approx. 4,400–4,700 SHU
It delivers a strong but still edible heat for most people and is a good introduction to the Buldak series if you haven't tried them yet.
How to prepare your spicy Buldak noodles
Preparation is simple and quick – but the taste is anything but simple:
- Cook the noodles in about 600 ml of water for 5 minutes.
- Pour off most of the water – leave about 120 ml remaining.
- Add the included spice sauce and flakes, and stir well.
- Stir-fry everything together for about 30 seconds so the sauce really coats the noodles.
Serving and tips for the full experience
This 5-pack is ideal if you want spicy noodles on hand, whether for a quick lunch or a cozy evening with friends. The spicy base gives plenty of options to put your own touch on the dish:
- Top with a fried egg or a soft-boiled egg for more substance.
- Add grilled vegetables, tofu or chicken for a more complete meal.
- Try stirring in a little cheese or butter to mellow the heat – a popular method in Korea.
