Curry powder is the greatest affront to Indian cuisine. Because white invaders often fast track the process of “understanding” and commodifying the culture of the people they’ve conquered, the British rule of India brought the concept of curry powder to the fore, thus reducing an ancient and beautiful cuisine to a rough amalgamation of its most pungent spices. Other cultures have curries but we can lay the confusion and over-simplification of what a curry is entirely at the feet of colonialism.
Of the types of Buldak products available in the US, I’ve never had these “Ice Type” noodles. I can’t see a reference to them on Samyang’s website and suspect they’ve probably been discontinued. The gimmick here is that they were served cold, kind of like japchae only still made with instant ramen fried noodles.
We’re now in the territory of noodles I’ll happily eat whenever they’re provided, albeit on the low end of the scale. I mentioned previously that most Samyang noodles are prepared without a broth. These stew type noodles are different, they’re thicker, chewier noodles designed to be simmered. So in preparing these, you reserve more water than the traditional couple of spoonfuls recommended in other varieties.
In the time since I last updated this website, the world has fallen deep into a cycle of global pandemic and economic self-destruction. When I expressed interest in rekindling some 1920s aesthetic, I didn’t expect it to be self-quarantine and plonking away at a typewriter to distract from the dangers of venturing out in the world.
These kind of taste like that? But they also don’t. Again the spice level is quite low and less than the standard buldak flavor but certainly delivers a punch. The worst astringent flavors of the curry powder linger on the palate for hours after you’ve eaten, something I’m fighting as I write this. I had a pack left and in my quarantine haze decided to eat them. I…shouldn’t have.
