Samyang Buldak Noodles - Shop All Flavours
What Are Buldak Noodles?
Buldak (불닭) means "fire chicken" in Korean - and Samyang's Buldak noodles live up to the name. Originally launched in South Korea in 2012, Buldak ramen became a global phenomenon thanks to viral spicy noodle challenges and a devoted following that keeps coming back for more. Today, the Buldak range has expanded far beyond the original with a lineup of flavours for every heat tolerance, from the classic Buldak Original to the face-melting 2x Spicy (Haek Buldak).
Every Buldak Flavour - From Mild to Nuclear
One of the best things about Buldak is how much variety there is. Here's a quick rundown of the flavours you'll find at Asian Pantry:
Original Buldak - The one that started it all. Fiery, savoury, deeply satisfying. A solid 4/5 on the heat scale.
2x Spicy (Haek Buldak) - Not for the faint-hearted. Double the heat of the original. Proceed with caution.
Carbonara Buldak - Creamy, cheesy, with a kick of heat underneath. A fan favourite and a great starting point if you're new to the range.
Cheese Buldak - A milder, cheesier take with that signature smoky Buldak flavour. Great for kids or spice beginners.
Jjajang Buldak - Korean black bean sauce meets Buldak heat. Rich, savoury, and surprisingly addictive.
Swicy Buldak - Sweet and spicy in one bowl. If you like a bit of sweetness to balance the heat, this one's for you.
Green (Corn) Buldak - A lighter, slightly sweet flavour with a hint of corn. One of the milder options in the range.
Birria Buldak - A bold Korean-Mexican mashup inspired by Mexican birria. Rich, smoky, and full of depth.
Buldak Black (Squid Ink) - Jet black noodles with a savoury, umami-rich sauce. Dramatic and delicious.
How Spicy Is Buldak, Really?
The original Buldak comes in at around 4,404 Scoville heat units - significantly hotter than most commercial instant noodles. The 2x Spicy Haek Buldak measures roughly 10,000 SHU, making it one of the hottest mass-market noodles you can buy. If you're building up your spice tolerance, start with Carbonara or Cheese Buldak and work your way up.
