Samyang Buldak Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fried Ramen Carbonara Flavor Super Hot Spicy Noodles Authentic Ramyun (Pack of 5)

These noodles changed my life. They are the perfect balance between spicy and flavorful. This is a bit on the spicier side than for most consumers but it definitely is a try-it-at-least-once experience. The noodle cake is nice and thick, providing high quality texture and noodles that contain flavor in every bite. This is a simple dish to make, all you need is a pot with boiling water and an eating utensil. It takes about seven minutes to make it but it is worth every dollar once you get a bite. Trust that you have never had noodles like these before in your life.

Super good and creamy, love the 'noodles', but it's super spicy

Good value of money, nice texture, tastes really good, doesn't take much time to cook in the microwave and super easy to prepare but be warned these are super, super spicy

These noodles are very hot. I have a high spice tolerance and they are spicy. They do taste good, so if you have a high spice tolerance, try them, but my first time trying these I did not expect them to be as hot as they were, so if you're the same and think it is probably not as bad as people make it seem... Just know they are probably spicier than you think. Lastly, these noodles are fantastic. They are plump and filling. The noodles by themselves are worth it.

Yummy and spicy I like the curly noodles it also absorbed the sauce so well and surprisingly didn't give me a stomach ache easy to prepare whole family loved the texture and tastes

Hot hot hot is what my son say when he tried to eat it. He wanted me to order this so I did but he couldn’t handle the heat. But I have nothing bad to say about this product. He just can’t handle heat. The only good thing I can say about this product. It is cheesy and hot and delicious.

I'll start with I'm a fan of instant noodles. When you must crush the hunger for noodles and don't have immediate access (or sometimes don't want the hassle of going out) to eat handmade ramen, the next best option is instant noodles. I've eaten just about all the flavor options available from all makers at all of the Asian stores near and around my home. From the Fung-Fu brand to Mama to Paldo to etc brand, I've tried almost all of them. With that said I've never have tried Samyang Ramen: Spicy Chicken Flavor noodles. I purchased these as a gift (in a 5-pack) for the person that first told me about them and how people were posting videos on YouTube of others eating them as a "challenge". It must be observed that flavor/taste palettes differ from one individual to another as taste is subjective. Knowing that everyone I know loves these noodles, I must say that I do NOT like them. After having tried them for myself, I say that I appreciate the thicker noodles which lend to boosting the noodles chew factor. The sauce has a pleasing red color that is dark & rich and has a thick consistency that coats the whole noodle. And that's where my positive remarks end. Last but certainly not the least factor is taste. So how did it taste? It was very sweet and hot... and I don't mean a hint of sweet or like there was a dash of pepper added. No! Imagine if you could, eating a candy bar in the Amazonian jungle kind of sweet and then someone sprayed Mace ® (pepper spray) in your mouth whilst eating said candy bar. That's the only way I could describe it. I prefer my noodles to be salty & savory not sweet & spicy. For that, I gave this product 3 stars. If it were salty & spicy I would have given it 5 stars. In summary = If you are a fan of sweet and/or enjoy feasting on hot magma then this is right up your alley. But if you've been diagnosed with Diabetes or enjoy not having to poop fire then avoid this product at all costs.

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...

Es mas la fama que el sabor del producto... el picante es bueno y tolerante el nivel 1... pero el sabor de la sopa independientemente no es bueno... no la recomiendo.

ممتاز
