And then there's Denmark (iirc) that outright banned some of the Buldak ramen flavours for being too spicy. The 2x spicy chicken is pretty spicy, like "I'm going to power through this to not waste any food" spicy, but I lost respect for Denmark's leadership when I saw that.
Btw, at the risk of making it even harder to find, Buldak's spicy curry chicken flavour is amazing. The cheese one is decent, too.
Imo 2x spicy is the perfect spice level.
My husband immediately bought me a pack right after the huge media blowup, and I actually found it to be mad delicious. I'm wondering if the spice profile was changed after it was banned.
To be clear, I really, REALLY like spicy food and he wasnt doing it to be an ass. He was legit like "Oh! A food she'll enjoy!"
Ooh, I'll have to try the curry chicken - it looks delicious! Same with the yakisoba! I think the only Buldak flavors I've tried so far are cheddar and carbonara.
Make sure to read the directions, as they aren't prepared like a typical ramen soup. You drain it after boiling the noodles and then fry them in the sauce, improving the flavour and texture (or your frying skills if you don't get it right lol).
And my secret improvement (other than adding things like eggs and shrimp): ramen wraps. Something about the combo of textures makes me love this, and since these ramen aren't soup-based the wrap ends up less messy.
