I had the (I think) black packet/hottest once and it was so boring. There’s no flavour behind the heat, very disappointing.
The black one is the 1x and is the tastiest of the three in my opinion. The 3x seems to be tastier than the 2x (both red), but that’s based on memory, as I haven’t tasted them side by side. We buy the 1x quite often and add some extra ingredients to it (egg, spring onions, crispy chili oil, cheese). It’s spicy, but not extremely so according to our taste, especially not with the extra ingredients.
I've basically decided to give up on Buldak.
I like spicy food, generally, but I ate the black one too and it was all spice and no taste.
I then tried one that was supposed to be cheese flavour (and not even the spicy cheese flavour, just regular normal cheese) and that was also somehow just spicy in a really boring way.
There is no Buldak flavor that isn't spicy. They all start with the same "hot chicken" base flavoring, then have additional flavorings added. The 2x and 3x varieties just have more capsaicin in the base. Like, a LOT more. I bought a 4 pack of 2x by mistake (thought it was original) and had to force myself to finish a bowl. It was painful. The regular spicy versions I would consider to be about the equivalent of a bowl of ramen with a few dashes of a relatively spicy hot sauce. Tasty and not unpleasant for me at all. But everyone's tolerance levels are different.
Thanks for the confirmation that Buldak is, then, not really for me :)
The Jajangmyeon(?) flavor is delicious
I thought the same about this brand. The grocery store I go to sells these and I was disappointed after buying a pack. Shin Ramyun is so much better.
The pink carbo one isn't bad. Definitely has other flavours in there, not just spicy. That said, I also don't add the entire sachet of hot sauce...
What are you talking about, that stuff is delicious
I know right, they're my favorite specifically because theyre not just spicy but delicious too! Especially the cheese one.
I've had a couple of the flavours and the cheese one (with an extra slice of American cheese stirred in, if you're feeling cheesy), the classic one, and the habanero lime ones were my favourite so far.
Habanero lime is sooo good. The jjajang and the cream carbonara are also great.
I think a lot of people cook them wrong though and maybe that's why they don't think they taste good. It's really important that you add the 1/4 cup water (remain 8 tbsp!) with the sauce packet at the end and then stir fry it until it's thick again, this usually takes me about 2 or 3 extra minutes on med-high.
Sometimes I add cream cheese and a little mozzarella to the black packet, and/or a single egg near the end.
Personally I just cook the noodles, drain, and then add the sauce without cooking it further.
Maybe I should try it the way you said though!
They could also just be making it as a regular instant ramen soup, in which case I can imagine feeling like there's no flavour other than the heat.
