Buldak Cup Noodle (Samyang Black) is the iconic instant noodle that started the global "Fire Noodle Challenge" craze. AL MODINA HALAL FOOD brings you this legendary Korean snack, known formally as "Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen." Famous for its addictive heat and savory roasted chicken flavor, this cup noodle offers a convenient way to enjoy the fiery taste of Korea wherever you are—whether at work, school, or home.
Unlike standard soup-based instant noodles, the Buldak Cup Noodle (Samyang Black) is a "stir-fry" style dry noodle. The thick, chewy noodles are tossed in a rich, dark red sauce that packs a serious punch of spice, balanced by a hint of sweetness and the savory depth of seaweed and sesame seeds. It is a must-try for spice lovers and thrill-seekers alike.
Samyang has become a global household name, and the Black packaging represents the original flavor that started it all. Here is why it remains a bestseller:
1. The Perfect Balance of Heat and Flavor While it is undeniably spicy (approximately 4,404 Scoville Heat Units), the heat doesn't just burn—it carries flavor. The sauce is a complex blend of soy sauce, chicken extract, chili pepper, onion, and garlic. It starts savory and sweet, followed by a creeping heat that keeps you coming back for more.
2. Premium Chewy Noodles Samyang noodles are thicker than typical instant ramen. They have a satisfying "mochi-like" chewiness that holds up well against the thick sauce. Even in cup format, they retain excellent texture.
3. Convenient Cup Format The Buldak Cup Noodle version is designed for on-the-go consumption. It eliminates the need for a pot or a stove. All you need is hot water and chopsticks, making it the ultimate convenience food for busy days.
4. 100% Halal Certified AL MODINA HALAL FOOD ensures that the Samyang products we stock are the export versions, which are fully Halal certified. You can enjoy the viral trend with complete peace of mind regarding your dietary requirements.
Buldak Cup Noodle (Samyang Black) is delicious on its own, but fans around the world have created countless ways to upgrade it.
Spiciness too intense? Add cheese! Mozzarella, cheddar, or a slice of processed cheese melts beautifully over the hot noodles. The creaminess cuts through the heat and adds a rich, gooey texture that complements the spicy chicken flavor perfectly.
Turn your snack into a complete meal.
Boiled or Fried Egg: A runny yolk mixed into the noodles creates a creamy sauce.
Sausages: Sliced sausages or hot dogs are a popular addition in Korea.
Grilled Chicken: Add leftover chicken for extra protein.
To balance the texture, add some crunch.
Cucumber: Thinly sliced cucumber cools down the palate.
Kimchi: For an extra kick of sour and spicy flavor.
Seaweed: Crumble extra nori sheets on top for more umami.
If you don't have the Carbonara version (Pink), you can make your own with the Black version. Leave a tiny bit of water in the cup and mix in a splash of milk or cream along with the sauce packet. It makes the spice milder and the sauce creamier.
It is crucial to prepare Buldak Cup Noodle (Samyang Black) correctly. Many first-timers make the mistake of making it like a soup noodle. This is a dry noodle dish.
Step 1: Pour Hot Water Peel the lid back halfway. Remove the sauce packet and the flake packet. Pour boiling water up to the inner line. Close the lid and let it sit for 4 minutes.
Step 2: Drain the Water This is the most important step. Poke holes in the marked triangular areas on the lid (or carefully peel back a corner) and drain out all the water. Tip: Leave about 1 tablespoon of water if you prefer a saucier consistency.
Step 3: Mix the Sauce Remove the lid completely. Pour the liquid sauce packet over the cooked noodles.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve Sprinkle the flake packet (which usually contains roasted sesame seeds and seaweed strips) on top. Stir everything vigorously until the noodles are evenly coated in the red sauce. Enjoy!
