About this ramen

Buldak 2X Spicy takes Samyang's original fire noodle and pushes the heat much further. It's rated around 8,808 SHU in our data, against about 4,404 for the original Buldak. The sauce follows the same recipe of red pepper, soy sauce, sugar and chicken flavor, with capsicum oleoresin moved higher up the ingredient list. Sesame seeds and seaweed flakes still go on top. It's meant for experienced spice eaters, so start with part of the sauce if you're unsure.
