New Ramen/Spicy Chicken Roasted Noodles, 4.94 oz (Pack of 5)

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...

I recently got my 11 year old into spicier foods; together we've sampled hot sauces and have had a great time with it. 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.

Fast shipping, not as hot as expected but tasty, used the entire packet of sauce at the time price was really good for me, once you prepare properly you can add whatever you like to it.

Je le recommande vivement pour ceux et celles qui adorent manger épicé 🌶 très épicé. Je suis pas capable de les manger car je crois que mon ulcère a l’estomac ne supporte plus ce qui est épicé comme ces nouilles. J’en ai fais goûter à 2 autres personnes un de 62 ans et un de 30 ans et je les avait prévenu de pas mettre tout le sachet de sauce car moi je suis certaine que j’aurais terminé à l’hôpital avec un trou 🕳️ dans mon estomac. Ils ont toujours pas été capable de supporter le feu 🔥 dans la bouche 👄 mais aussi ça reste très longtemps dans la bouche et la gorge. Le plus jeune a aussi dit qu’il l’a senti passé à la sortie 😥. Faut juste savoir que c’est extrêmement épicé n’en doutez jamais.

Ayant acheté ce pack de 5 nouilles Samyang, je suis conquis : • Épices savoureuses et relevées : exactement le bon niveau de piquant, intense mais pas étouffant — un vrai plaisir pour ceux qui aiment relever leurs repas.  • Nouilles parfaites : texture bien ferme et agréable à mâcher, tout en restant souples après cuisson. () • Facile et rapide à préparer : cuisson en 5 minutes, on égoutte, on ajoute la sauce, on mélange, et c’est prêt ! () • Kit complet : le pack de 5 portions est idéal pour stocker ou partager entre amis et ajoute une bonne valeur pour son prix.  En résumé, ces nouilles Samyang sont un régal explosif, pratique et fidèle à la qualité coréenne. Je recommande vivement ce produit à tous les amateurs de cuisine épicée : peut-être pas tous les jours, mais à savourer sans hésiter !

Si ya el simple de queso pica este es el infierno. Cunden y están muy sabroso pero tienes que hacer como Homer y ponerte cera de vela en el paladar buff

Me encanta el sabor

I have tried the Carbonara ones and hated it, too creamy and sweet. The 2X one was extra spicy and it was not flavourful. It was like eating straight up chillies, I have a good heat tolerance as I'm from the northeast but yes the flavour was missing. I like the Shin Ramyun one for days I want something mild and this Samyang hot chicken when I want a kick of spice. If you are only familiar with green chillies or chilly powder then it might be too spicy for you. I feel this particular variant has the spice level of half a Naga chilly/Bhut Jolokia. The sweetness is balanced and it doesn't overpower the taste. Best had with sausages/shredded meat beef etc and sea weed and then washed down with hot tea or beverage. Please do not add eggs as the yolk will make the noodles creamy but that is just my personal opinion.
