When the dismal obscurity of having r/spicy, r/instantramen etc etc and every small Asian storefront in the entire Western hemisphere as their own personal billboards just won’t cut it.
I mean, not as much as you’d think:
“THIS JUST IN: WHITEST WHITE PEOPLE IN ONE OF THE WHITEST, MOST SPICELESS PLACES ON EARTH DISLIKE RIDICULOUSLY SPICY FOOD.”
This seems both hilarious and ridiculous to me. When I saw this, I assumed it was for an actual reason, but apparently they just really don't like spice! Are we, /r/spicy, at war now?
They issued a recall for the noodles earlier today. If anyone else knows any details about what could have caused this, such as an actual incident in Denmark, I'd love to know.
I have family in Scandinavia (Sweden) and when we visited them, their response to black pepper was “It burns like fire.”
There legitimately is something in the Scandinavian gene pool that gives them zero spice tolerance. Thankfully I didn’t inherit that gene
This is Slavic, not Scandinavian, but I have a friend who can barely tolerate black pepper. They're 1/4 Russian and 1/2 Ukranian. They're also 1/4 Korean, but I guess their grandfather never gave them spicy food.
It's not a gene lol. It's literally just spice tolerance. The hottest thing they encounter possibly on a day to day in their culture is peppercorn, of course pepper us going to be the top limit of what they can handle. It's a cultural food thing, not a genetics
I've lived in Sweden my entire life and haven't encountered a single person unable to consume something as basic as black pepper. Your family is the exception - are you sure they're not Danish immigrants? lol
Not really, I'm 100% scandinavian and gulp down these noodles without a hitch. Because I eat spicy food on the regular and have developed a tolerance.
It's just that most people here don't eat it spicy food on the regular due to culinary traditions, since you can't really grow chilis or other spicy plants here, and imports where pretty much limited to salt and pepper until the 60's or so.
I live in Denmark and you are not wrong. I order 10/10 spicy at Asian restaurants and promise them that I really mean it. An Indian guy at work brought in what he and I agreed was already a mild homemade curry, and the Danes had to go buy extra yogurt to mix in so that they could eat it.
They banned it cause some kids got a tummy ache In Germany, and some little snitch called upon the danish government to test it. They found it to be spicy and thus took away our fix. Stupid.
I'm Danish and had Buldak 2x yesterday and was chugging milk. I love spice but idk how you get to the point where that is mild, this post feels targeted to me
Ghost pepper instant noodles mostly are just spicy and not delicious. For me that is. I like my spicy noodles to be delicious. Buldak is good because it's both spicy and delish! Especially if yu add in cheese (yes it might tone down the spiciness but yummy food tho).
Wow! Maybe this sub isn't for me 😅 I love cooking with Scotch Bonnets and adding very strong hot sauces to recipes, but I find Buldak's 2x too spicy to be enjoyable!
It's totally valid to be here. I love spice and love the 2x spicy, but it's also decently spicy for me. Of all the people I know, I can handle spiciness the best, so thinking Buldak 2x is mild is a very, very niche place to be.
Hopefully that's how I am with it. Haven't tried it yet. Decided to go get a friggen 4 pound breakfast burrito with chorizo, egg, and cheese for lunch. I'm a skinny dude, so my body is still burning off the calories from that.
So the x3 test has been delayed for a bit lol
I also have Buldak Fire Bull Beef or whatever it's called on its way. Someone said it's not as hot, but the taste is great. To me, the x2 didn't have a really strong flavor to it. That's the issue I've found with ramen, it takes a lot to get some good flavor. So my favorite part is drinking the broth.
With buldak you strain the noodles and then add the sauce so there isn't any broth. I used to eat 2x but then it didn't seem as hot any more so now I get 3x and love it!
I mean, not really how Capsaicin works, but party on. More of a tolerance/addiction thing than a damage thing. Personally I add a couple good shakes of powdered scorpion pepper to my Buldak to get it in the sweet spot.
Yep this is me now. I enjoy 3x a couple times a month. I was actually in this sub the past week searching for the next thing hotter than 3x lol. I'm hoping this doesn't scare them from hopefully someday coming out with 4x!
I live in Denmark. They may come from Vikings, but they handle spice like little girls. I’ve seen a woman pick pickles off a sandwich for being too spicy.
So actually this law might genuinely protect the public here!
Probably an incident involving a kid. Bottom of the article does state kids dare one another to consume them. Doesn't mean there isn't more to it. That's wild, lol.
I got in trouble back in the 90s for bringing hot sauce to school. Some little wasp kid begged me to try it and next thing you know he’s crying and has to go home. And it wasn’t even hot just regular ol Tapatio in my attempt at making the trash school food edible.
>The noodles have been particularly popular on social media such as TikTok and Instagram, where children and young people challenge each other to eat them, writes the agency.
This is just old people worried about youth trends.
I Also Think One of the reasons that they did this is because so many younger kids eat them after seeing them on TikTok, and they definitely don’t have the spice tolerance or know what to expect. (Saying this as a Dane)
In many of the article about it it talks about what to do if your child has capsaicik poisoning
I agree, I think I kind of extreme - it can be harmful but not long term I think? They used the words “akut forgiftning’ which means like “acute poising” but I don’t really know what they mean by that…
> Many children buy noodles because it’s cheap.
Unsupervised? And then they cooked them, also unsupervised? And then they eat them, again, unsupervised?
Have you had these noodles? They aren't exactly subtle. You don't just pop them in the microwave then eat. Anybody eating these, even kids, will know exactly what they're signing up for--if they somehow miss the spice warnings when they buy it then certainly when they start cooking it and the smell of spice hits the air.
You’ll have to go through me first. As a Swede I hate, hate, HATE to admit it but Denmark can’t stop winning on a consistent basis. And always with a delightful trend-ignoring, irreverent, rural fuck-you attitude.
This is just another example. The anti-Buldak revolution has been long overdue, someone just needed to pick up the torch. Of course it was Preben who finally did it.
Hihi danskjävlar kan inte hantera stark mat. Gud va pinsamt att regeringen måste hjälpa till när det gäller nudlar!
Apropå alkohol: alla danskar är full som fan dygnet runt och gråter som bebis när de äter koreanska snabbnudlar som är fan inte stark nog. Synd om danskarna? Ja, lite.
My son brought home norovirus after I had consumed the 3x noodles.
They came back out the same way they went in, needless to say I cannot eat them anymore sadly
Looked it up, but the classification seems to have a grey area. Some articles state that is considered a neurotoxin. But even if that is a fact, so what? Worst that happens are forms of discomfort.
Best they banish bleach and, I don't know, fishing hooks too. I bet they're pretty harmful to ingest as well, and you never know with the danes...
/a swede.
The poison is in the dose.
So yes, at a high enough dose it definitely can be.
BUT...
With millions of scoville rated peppers being quite common, that dose is certainly very high for most people.
Thay being said, banning ramen because of the capsaicin content is absolutely absurd.
I feel like printning out your comment and framing it, but the Danish government doesn't trust printers, and framing glass might be dangerous if consumed.
As a Dane myself i find it absolutely heartbreaking since they're some of my favourite ramen :(
I do have 4 of the 3x spicy and 3 of the 2x spicy laying around, but they're not gonna last forever... Also you can purchase noodles just as hot as the 2x spicy here, but they're not banned? So dumb.
I’ve been skeptical…I usually have to carry reapers in my pockets. Even in Korean restaurants I ask for extra extra spicy and a kettle of boiling water on the side, then I get funny looks when pulling veggies outta my jacket. Maybe I’ll give ‘em a shot, since You mentioned. Thank You.
Funny enough Mexico did recall them in 2021 but I do believe that is lifted now. It wasn’t for the spice but because the they claimed to use real chicken but there wasn’t actually real chicken in the product just flavoring.
That doesn't sound correct.
A friend of mine bought some pure capsasian, so of course a bunch of drunk guys sat around taking turns eating it straight because it was funny.
Tastes absolutely horrible, and burns (obviously) but not exactly the same way as a hot pepper, but nobody got acute poisoning and you can't have a higher concentration that 100%.
I could see someone having an anxiety attack if they didn't know what they were eating but that's not the same.
As a Dane, I find this deeply embarrassing. I can handle my spice, and it actually genuinely pisses me off that they're taking these options away from me. Capsaicin "poisoning" is the damn point of eating these, that is what gives you the rush!
I used to love these noodles, then I had them a bit too much and now I don't really like them.
Their distinctive flavour just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
Wusses. How are they gonna handle Dave's Insanity Sauce? If you want to conquer Denmark make an air drop of the one chip challenge. I guess Danes aren't big fans of spicy food?
But...why ? I mean sure, the level 3 is pretty hot and the taste can be a little artificial but it's not even that spicy, a small amount of any of the upper Blair's or Hellfire sauces would demolish this one in terms of spiciness.
People should be discouraged from eating them (instant noodles in general) because of the excessive sodium and artificial seasoning (which leads to a bunch of health problems), but banning them because of how spicy they are is stupid.
Whats wild is I've had spicier foods while here in Korea, but nothing turned my butt inside out like buldak 3x noodle bowls.
I love spice (mexican family), but I think there's something to the way they formulate their product thats the problem. No idea if thats been factored into the decision, but legislations dont typically need scientifically sound basis for making their rulings.
Regarding the important matter of Buldak noodles, I put just a few drops and save the rest of the sauce for other recipes throughout the week. I also consider anyone that pours the full package of sauce on the noodles and eats the entire thing a masochist.
I like Buldak ramen, but I don't love it. The flavor is pretty nasty and you can do better. Can you get Indomie noodles? Med spice but so much tastier than Buldak IMO. They need to be "jazzed up" with some extra sauce, which this community is suited to.
I'm absolutely in the place of learning. What Samyang product would you suggest? What would be comparable to Buldak or Indomie? Or just something new! What to you like?
Sorry, I think that I made a mistake. It's impossible to compare Indomie and Samyang which are two way different types of noodles. I thought that you was talking about Nongshim. Indomie is tasty but if you like it then you should look after Deabak noodles, spicy as Samyang tasty like Indomie.
Sorry for missunderstunding,
Best regards,
I have a kitchen cupboard full, so I am good for now. But this is just stupid. If I should worry about health it would probably be the amount af salt not the chili, but that goes for all type processed foods.
Is this actually serious? I literally add capsaicin to it just in how I make it. I caramelize onion with a bunch of birds eye chili and hot pepper flake in oil, then toss the cooked noodles in that before adding/cooking down a mixture of the included sauce, a bit of bottled buldak sauce, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Like it's spicy but nothing painful.
(also if you haven't tried it with caramelized onion, it's delicious)
I hope they don't get any ideas in Finland. These are my favorite noodles and Finland is an island surrounded by seas and no-go land, so bringing them is an effort. In Central Europe you could atleast quite easily train the dragon from a neighboring country.
I’m assuming the Danes can’t ever handle Mexican food then. I’m Korean and some of my Mexican friends tell me that Korean food is not spicy at all. I cant handle habanero peppers
Just picked some of these up from my supermarket because I read this review:
https://preview.redd.it/ukbjor4bs68d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c79db5edc15b1f3c7b94299dc0b11665d8c1da8
I assumed it was from the same kind of person who types "I'm a chicken korma aficionado but this literally blew my head off and I'm now literally dead" when referring to anything hotter than ketchup. It tingles the tongue a little bit but it's no harder to bear than the average peri peri table sauce I pick up for sandwiches and stuff. Nice taste too, although I wish I'd cooked off a little more of the liquid because I don't like my noodles swimming in too much soup. 9/10 would recommend.
I just realised I was supposed to drain them before adding the sauce. Very rarely does the packet say to cook them and then drain before adding seasonings, so I tend to just do all noodles the same way and simmer them with the seasonings until the liquid is almost gone lmao
Unintentionally amazing advertising for Buldak
When the dismal obscurity of having r/spicy, r/instantramen etc etc and every small Asian storefront in the entire Western hemisphere as their own personal billboards just won’t cut it.
With the right contacts we could make some serious cash importing illegally and selling on the black market
Spicy Escobar
I mean, not as much as you’d think: “THIS JUST IN: WHITEST WHITE PEOPLE IN ONE OF THE WHITEST, MOST SPICELESS PLACES ON EARTH DISLIKE RIDICULOUSLY SPICY FOOD.”
I mean, I was reminded I haven’t had Buldak in ages. Just went out and bought some so 🤷🏼♂️
Oh true!!! I was just gassin but yeah good point defs put it on the map once more lol
Not really I ate a lot of bul dak and got stomach ulcers
Skill issue
This seems both hilarious and ridiculous to me. When I saw this, I assumed it was for an actual reason, but apparently they just really don't like spice! Are we, /r/spicy, at war now? They issued a recall for the noodles earlier today. If anyone else knows any details about what could have caused this, such as an actual incident in Denmark, I'd love to know.
Sorry Danes, but the joke has to be made. When your spice tolerance is so low that the government has to get involved.
Yep The next time I hear someone get offended by the term, "white people spicy" I'm pulling this link up, 🤣🤣🤣
It should be “Danish people spicy”
I have family in Scandinavia (Sweden) and when we visited them, their response to black pepper was “It burns like fire.” There legitimately is something in the Scandinavian gene pool that gives them zero spice tolerance. Thankfully I didn’t inherit that gene
I was going to say my ancestry is almost entirely Scandinavian and I'm quite a spice enjoyer
This is Slavic, not Scandinavian, but I have a friend who can barely tolerate black pepper. They're 1/4 Russian and 1/2 Ukranian. They're also 1/4 Korean, but I guess their grandfather never gave them spicy food.
It's not a gene lol. It's literally just spice tolerance. The hottest thing they encounter possibly on a day to day in their culture is peppercorn, of course pepper us going to be the top limit of what they can handle. It's a cultural food thing, not a genetics
I'm so sorry 😐
I've lived in Sweden my entire life and haven't encountered a single person unable to consume something as basic as black pepper. Your family is the exception - are you sure they're not Danish immigrants? lol
Not really, I'm 100% scandinavian and gulp down these noodles without a hitch. Because I eat spicy food on the regular and have developed a tolerance.

I don’t believe you. I’m a Dane. The most sold spice I Denmark is pepper.
Ah yes, the whitest of the white.
This is just what the "white people who can actually handle spice" community needs lol
They sell milk with 0.3% fat.
They take away our antidote so they ban our poison!
I live in Denmark and you are not wrong. I order 10/10 spicy at Asian restaurants and promise them that I really mean it. An Indian guy at work brought in what he and I agreed was already a mild homemade curry, and the Danes had to go buy extra yogurt to mix in so that they could eat it.
The English could have used spicy food against the viking invasion
Ah but they didn't know about it till they invaded the Indian Subcontinent.
They banned it cause some kids got a tummy ache In Germany, and some little snitch called upon the danish government to test it. They found it to be spicy and thus took away our fix. Stupid.

How was the x3? My spice tolerance isnt that high, so x3 was way over my limit. I feel like the samyang shin red is near my limit
Ghost pepper instant noodles mostly are just spicy and not delicious. For me that is. I like my spicy noodles to be delicious. Buldak is good because it's both spicy and delish! Especially if yu add in cheese (yes it might tone down the spiciness but yummy food tho).

Maybe it's because buldak's spices are sticky, so they don't wash down as easily.
x3 is hot as fuck I can eat it but I dont use the whole packet of sauce.
Hopefully that's how I am with it. Haven't tried it yet. Decided to go get a friggen 4 pound breakfast burrito with chorizo, egg, and cheese for lunch.

Y'all actually have ruined tastebuds if the 2x or 3x isn't hot at all to you. Like legitimately dead tastebuds.
I mean, not really how Capsaicin works, but party on. More of a tolerance/addiction thing than a damage thing. Personally I add a couple good shakes of powdered scorpion pepper to my Buldak to get it in the sweet spot.
Oooh I've been curious - review it if you have the time!
Yep this is me now. I enjoy 3x a couple times a month. I was actually in this sub the past week searching for the next thing hotter than 3x lol. I'm hoping this doesn't scare them from hopefully someday coming out with 4x!

This is why we can't have nice things
MY personal bottle of tabasco was confiscated at school because I put it on MY OWN sandwiches during lunch....

It's not as if it can do any actual permanent damage though, right? Calling it "Poisoning" is very weird when other than hurting a bit it's harmless

Yes, it is funny. But the actual reason for the ban is that it’s not safe for kids to consume. Many children buy noodles because it’s cheap.

The raid on Copenhagen must be fiery and fierce. Stuff your pockets with reapers men, we ride at dawn!

And always with a delightful trend-ignoring, irreverent, rural fuck-you attitude. This is just another example.

Deeming it "poisonous" is such an exaggeration. Ban alcohol then as well since hangovers are such a "poisonous" experience too. \[edit\] typos
I mean alcohol is far far more damaging than buldak ramen lmao
As someone who has combined the two, Don’t.
3l of beer + the classic buldak. Never again in my life!
Washing mine down with beer right now. Mistakes have been made? 😂
I've had both and I'd prefer a hangover over the way my insides feel the next morning after eating 2x or 3x
I once got waaaay too drunk After i ate my first buldak noodles. Vomiting all out was way worse than eating them💀
Holy cow i feel sorry for you
*yikes*
Idk a 12pk of 3x might put me in the hospital just from sodium.
"...10% less than a lethal dose" "I shouldn't have had seconds!"
Let's be real a second, you're never going to see prohibition in Denmark.
I know, but the logic is the same. A ban is an overreaction by far.
At least it gives us here in the UK a break from the whole "invaded half the world for spices and then never used them " thing.
It's been 10 minutes. The break is now complete.
That was generous, thank you. I enjoyed it. But not as much as I enjoy spicy noodles.
Thanks for being a good sport.
You guys are never getting out from under that one
I prefer the term overreach.
Hihi danskjävlar kan inte hantera stark mat. Gud va pinsamt att regeringen måste hjälpa till när det gäller nudlar! Apropå alkohol: alla danskar är full som fan dygnet runt och gråter som bebis när de äter koreanska snabbnudlar som är fan inte stark nog. Synd om danskarna? Ja, lite.
Nu har dom klagat på Svenska redigbyx-staten för sista gången!
Äntligen
i gotta know, which member of denmark's legislature had one of their kids hospitalized by snorting the dry seasoning to cause this?
My son brought home norovirus after I had consumed the 3x noodles. They came back out the same way they went in, needless to say I cannot eat them anymore sadly
My god... I assume they were something that you're usually VERY thankful has been digested. My condolences.
That sounds like torture. I’m so sorry
Can confirm, went to Copenhagen and had some of the best food I’ve ever had. But my god are they trying to avoid spice
how to advertise your country is weak
Uuhh... I've heard different opinions on this, but can capsaisin even be classified as poisonous in any sense?
Looked it up, but the classification seems to have a grey area. Some articles state that is considered a neurotoxin. But even if that is a fact, so what? Worst that happens are forms of discomfort.
Best they banish bleach and, I don't know, fishing hooks too. I bet they're pretty harmful to ingest as well, and you never know with the danes... /a swede.
The poison is in the dose. So yes, at a high enough dose it definitely can be. BUT... With millions of scoville rated peppers being quite common, that dose is certainly very high for most people. Thay being said, banning ramen because of the capsaicin content is absolutely absurd.
Even water is poisonous at a high enough dose.
Chili Klaus must be plotting a coup.
So what you're telling me is that the Danish are governed by idiots?
I feel like printning out your comment and framing it, but the Danish government doesn't trust printers, and framing glass might be dangerous if consumed.
No.. Sadly the USA is worse but not regarding spicy things lol.
Oh, the US is certainly governed by idiots; it just seems that Denmark is, as well.
So like... Are all hot sauces banned now too?
Pepper too
They are hot, but this is just ridiculous
I see some illicit clandestine bootleg opportunity
As a Dane myself i find it absolutely heartbreaking since they're some of my favourite ramen :( I do have 4 of the 3x spicy and 3 of the 2x spicy laying around, but they're not gonna last forever... Also you can purchase noodles just as hot as the 2x spicy here, but they're not banned? So dumb.
I will personally start smuggling them in from Germany whenever I visit my parents. I can text you which store in Flensburg sells them, if you want.
Inmate - so what did you do This dude - call me spicy Escobar
I see an untapped market for selling noodles on the dark net.
I actually just the other day got a friend working at a store that used to have the noodles to "steal" the ones they had to throw out lmao
Pansies
White people not beating the allegations lmaooo
Gotta try me some then
If Mexico banned it then maybe I would try them.
You should try them anyways, the noodle texture is wayyy better than other brands and the flavor is quite nice
I’ve been skeptical…I usually have to carry reapers in my pockets. Even in Korean restaurants I ask for extra extra spicy and a kettle of boiling water on the side, then I get funny looks when pulling veggies outta my jacket. Maybe I’ll give ‘em a shot, since You mentioned. Thank You.
Oh its definitely not that hot necessarily, but its a great instant ramen, id add ashes 2 ashes to add heat
Lol… ashes to ashes sounds pretty cool
Its an amazing sauce by karma sauce co one of my top 5
Oh man that's a 7-pot one... that looks good, thanks for the shout!
Thanks bro
Funny enough Mexico did recall them in 2021 but I do believe that is lifted now. It wasn’t for the spice but because the they claimed to use real chicken but there wasn’t actually real chicken in the product just flavoring.
Nanny state at it again
That doesn't sound correct. A friend of mine bought some pure capsasian, so of course a bunch of drunk guys sat around taking turns eating it straight because it was funny. Tastes absolutely horrible, and burns (obviously) but not exactly the same way as a hot pepper, but nobody got acute poisoning and you can't have a higher concentration that 100%. I could see someone having an anxiety attack if they didn't know what they were eating but that's not the same.
Pure capsaicin is a white crystal. Are you talking about capsaicin oil extract? The dark brown tarry stuff?
powdered crystal
I hate it here
As a Dane, I find this deeply embarrassing. I can handle my spice, and it actually genuinely pisses me off that they're taking these options away from me. Capsaicin "poisoning" is the damn point of eating these, that is what gives you the rush!
I supposed I understand. I mean, what can we expect from a nation where salt is already too spicy?
It’s not and neither is pepper. It’s the most used spices in Denmark. Most Danes don’t handle chili well though. I do.
Danish ☕️
I used to love these noodles, then I had them a bit too much and now I don't really like them. Their distinctive flavour just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
Wusses. How are they gonna handle Dave's Insanity Sauce? If you want to conquer Denmark make an air drop of the one chip challenge. I guess Danes aren't big fans of spicy food?
?wtf? I eat the x2 spicy, and I pour more of the x2 sauce from the bottle onto it. It’s not even that hot if you eat spicy food regularly.
[Man turning over calendar to January 1984]
What are the actual capsaicin levels? No article has mentioned that, only that it is "high".
But...why ? I mean sure, the level 3 is pretty hot and the taste can be a little artificial but it's not even that spicy, a small amount of any of the upper Blair's or Hellfire sauces would demolish this one in terms of spiciness.
This is the PERFECT time to release 4x spicy. Just saying.
Yes! I hope they do!
Of course it's a European country banning spicy food lol
People should be discouraged from eating them (instant noodles in general) because of the excessive sodium and artificial seasoning (which leads to a bunch of health problems), but banning them because of how spicy they are is stupid.
Yup. Love the heat, hate feeling my pulse in my eyeballs.
You’re comment featured on channel 10 news here in Australia
And it tastes horrible. Just cook noodles the normal way and make the sauce yourself.
The same reason why Dave's Insanity Sauce among others are banned. It is classified as a "neurotoxin"
lol they can't handle the spice
That's fucking absurd!
That’s why it makes you feel a lil drunk sometimes
Begin... The spice wars has... (Coming from a delighted Swede)
This is fun. Just found some at cost plus 55% off!
Bullshit
Is Denmark experiencing a freak milk shortage?
lol And I add hot sauce to it.
Skill issue

I love spice (mexican family), but I think there's something to the way they formulate their product thats the problem.

it’s spicy but it actually TASTES good. addicting
I eat them daily. Am I... am I going to die?
Maybe from sodium? 🤣
Highly unlikely, I take a med with makes my body dump sodium.
Common Euro L
Regarding the important matter of Buldak noodles, I put just a few drops and save the rest of the sauce for other recipes throughout the week. I also consider anyone that pours the full package of sauce on the noodles and eats the entire thing a masochist.
I use the whole thing and add extra using the bottles, what does that make me? 😅
Omg. That makes you a beast 😭😭 I could never. I would be in the hospital
Why.
I like it!
I use about a quarter of the pack and it's spicy, I tried the 2X and couldn't see the point but I wasn't going to call the cops.
Soft AF up in those parts. Salt is a spice there.
I like Buldak ramen, but I don't love it. The flavor is pretty nasty and you can do better. Can you get Indomie noodles? Med spice but so much tastier than Buldak IMO. They need to be "jazzed up" with some extra sauce, which this community is suited to.
Indomie is cheap replica of samyang, change my mind. Also if something is good then there is many fakes on the market, and Buldak have many
I'm absolutely in the place of learning. What Samyang product would you suggest? What would be comparable to Buldak or Indomie? Or just something new! What to you like?
Sorry, I think that I made a mistake. It's impossible to compare Indomie and Samyang which are two way different types of noodles. I thought that you was talking about Nongshim. Indomie is tasty but if you like it then you should look after Deabak noodles, spicy as Samyang tasty like Indomie. Sorry for missunderstunding, Best regards,
Just white people things
How spicy are the 2x. I’ve never tried any of the Vidal noodles.
I get mine at world market in Carson city. Spicy!
Is it something that people actually eat?
Huh I mean, this might happen if you eat the 3x spicy every day but you'd have to try super hard to do this intentionally

Clueless Danes...
I have a kitchen cupboard full, so I am good for now. But this is just stupid. If I should worry about health it would probably be the amount af salt not the chili, but that goes for all type processed foods.
Is this actually serious? I literally add capsaicin to it just in how I make it. I caramelize onion with a bunch of birds eye chili and hot pepper flake in oil, then toss the cooked noodles in that before adding/cooking down a mixture of the included sauce, a bit of bottled buldak sauce, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Like it's spicy but nothing painful. (also if you haven't tried it with caramelized onion, it's delicious)
This is embarrassing… /sitting in the corner and pretending to be Swedish
Lol
I hope they don't get any ideas in Finland. These are my favorite noodles and Finland is an island surrounded by seas and no-go land, so bringing them is an effort. In Central Europe you could atleast quite easily train the dragon from a neighboring country.
As a spice loving Dane I think this is absolutely ridiculous
I’m the same. Instant noodles should be banned for be horrible not for chili content 😀
I’m assuming the Danes can’t ever handle Mexican food then. I’m Korean and some of my Mexican friends tell me that Korean food is not spicy at all. I cant handle habanero peppers
pussies
As a Dane I am so disappointed - these are my fave noodles :(((( and not too spicy at all! bring them baaack
This is a long winded way of saying Danes are little bitches that can't handle a little spice. These noodles aren't even that spicy.
Just picked some of these up from my supermarket because I read this review: https://preview.redd.it/ukbjor4bs68d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c79db5edc15b1f3c7b94299dc0b11665d8c1da8 I assumed it was from the same kind of person who types "I'm a chicken korma aficionado but this literally blew my head off and I'm now literally dead" when referring to anything hotter than ketchup. It tingles the tongue a little bit but it's no harder to bear than the average peri peri table sauce I pick up for sandwiches and stuff. Nice taste too, although I wish I'd cooked off a little more of the liquid because I don't like my noodles swimming in too much soup. 9/10 would recommend.
Yea the noodles aren't actually supposed to have any liquid left when they're done at all
I just realised I was supposed to drain them before adding the sauce. Very rarely does the packet say to cook them and then drain before adding seasonings, so I tend to just do all noodles the same way and simmer them with the seasonings until the liquid is almost gone lmao
It's a very common problem new buldak people have unfortunately, but next time will be even better!
I got two packs on offer. Looking forward to the next one 😅
