  • This ramen is on 🔥
    If you're looking for a ramen that can surprise you, excite you or even BLOW AWAY your taste buds? Then you've stopped on the right video! This is Samyang's Buldak-Bokkeum-Myeon. This instant ramen has set the benchmark for all other ramen producers with its explosive flavors, intense heat, and creative inventions. From the TikTok famous Carbonara, Quattro Cheese and Jaijang to the Mukbang infamous 3x spicy. There are plenty of options to choose from. The first Korean Ramen brand's popularity has transcended its original market and gained a following among spicy food enthusiasts globally.
    At Samyang's Wonju factory, we meet Oh Seung-ryong, Manager of Samyang Foods Miryang Factory, he gives us an insight into the history of Korean ramen and the process behind creating noodles. Then the Head of Flavor, who has worked across many soup and flavor creations that have led to their reputation; tells us how they develop and test some of their concepts.
    Our team tried the infamous 3x spicy challenge too 🫣

      Reason why I prefer shin black ramen. Much tastier and it does not hurt to eat it. Carbonera was good but still doesn’t taste as good as shin black. Then there is the incredibly mild Nissin Raoh. Those are also better than Buldak.

    Instant ramen was first invented in the 50s as a way to solve food shortages and the issue of preserving noodles. Now, since it has been introduced in Korea (something which was not covered previously, as that was about Momofuku Ando), it has transcended into a new meaning, became ubiquitous all around. By people who are interested in ramen, or those looking to push their limits in a spicy craze.

    too bad they are chicken noodles, I tried their regular black package and the only thing stopping me was their awful taste. I love ramen noodles and am more of a Nong Shim or Daifuku fan but they need to get some beef, pork or seafood flavors with that heat rating. 13,000 scovilles isn't even hot. there are hotter noodles out there. Save your time and money and just go to a local super market and get a birds eye chili pepper. It's 100,000 scovilles the last time I checked or see if they have any habaneros or anything hotter to see how much you can take.
