If you try these noodles, either the original Buldak or the 2x spicy variety, don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. We fell in love with it instantly because of its addictive Jja Jang flavours, and my colleague even said that this became her new favourite flavour right away. A colleague commented that the cheese had sort of an artificial flavour, which kinda turned her off.Once the egg isn't runny and the bottom has browned (should take less than a min) flip the egg and let it cook until the other side is brown as well.

When available, we’ve given the approximate Scoville Heat Unit for each of the noodles to give you an idea of how spicy ramen can get.

And a final tip from us: The Spicy Noodle Challenge prohibits you from having a drink of water or milk to temper the heat. Also known as the Fire Noodle Challenge, this food phenomenon has been making rounds in the online sphere since 2014.I would suggest holding back on the recommended water a bit, but overall, it’s a tasty cup of noodles.
