Buldak Bokkeum Myun (Curry Flavor)
First off, curry here refers to the Japanese/Korean version of the thick, stew-type curry — reminiscent of Indian curries. If you’re feeling adventurous and have tried the original variety, give this one a try. It’s not quite as spicy, but it’s still a good idea to have a glass of milk handy. Cheers!
Buldak Bokkeum Myun (Corn Flavor)
While corn may seem like a random option, it frequently finds its way into the mouths of hungry Koreans, so why not add it as a flavor? With that being said, the reviews are pretty mixed on this particular Buldak option. You’ll never know if you love it or hate with out trying, so add a few to your next online shopping order.
Buldak Bokkeum Myun (Original Flavor)
If you want to stay true to Samyang and their hot chicken stir-fried noodles, you can’t go wrong with the original flavor. This is the exact version used in the first spicy noodle challenge video and sets the bar. If you’re new to trying Samyang ramen, start with this one and see how you feel afterwards!
