You've probably seen the Buldak noodles trend on your social media! These are popular instant noodles from South Korea, known for their very, very high level of spiciness. Buldak noodles are usually topped with pieces of meat, eggs, vegetables or cheese to tone down the heat a little... We tried the carbonara flavor (which, we're all agreed, has nothing to do with Italian carbonara). It has an ultraaa creamy and addictive flavor that you can customize however you like :-)

FAQ ❓

Where can you buy Buldak noodles?

You can find Buldak noodles in Asian grocery stores or even in some supermarkets!
Be careful: the carbonara flavor is among the least spicy varieties from the brand, but it's still very spicy. If you don't handle chili well, we don't recommend the red and black packets. From least to most spicy, we recommend jjajang (mild), cheese, then carbonara.
Buldak Carbonara noodles have a heat rating of 2,600 SHU on the Scoville scale.
If you want to prepare them plain, without any toppings, boil 60 cl of water in a small saucepan. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Pour the contents of the seasoning packet into a bowl or deep plate. Then add a little boiling water and mix well. Add the hot sauce, adjusting the amount to suit your taste and tolerance for spice. Add the noodles and mix. They're ready!
Yes, Buldak noodles are halal. However, you'll need to leave out the bacon or use halal meat.
You can replace it with mushrooms, tofu or Knacki sausages (including vegetarian ones).
You can use the ingredients mentioned above, and also add a soft-boiled egg, tteok (Korean rice cakes) or even more cheese. We used mozzarella and cheddar here, but you could also use burger or grilled cheese slices.
You can sprinkle them with chopped chives, green onion or sesame seeds... Let your creativity run wild!
