About this ramen

Buldak Carbonara pairs Samyang's fire-chicken sauce with a nod to Italian carbonara. Alongside the chili sauce comes a separate powder of milk, mozzarella, butter, garlic, black pepper and parsley. Stirred together, the two make a creamy sauce that takes the edge off the heat. In our data it sits around 3,000 SHU, milder than the original Buldak. Unlike real carbonara, there's no egg or pork on the ingredient list, and it contains milk.
