Tried the Habanero lime one today, far too hot for me, got stomach cramps. Taste is chemical crap but somehow trashfoody pleasant. All in all wouldn’t buy again

It’s not so much going in that is the issue as much as going out.
I get some every once in a while. Something keeps drawing me back with these.

I just had one of these for lunch. My tolerance must have increased drastically from last time I had it because it was very manageable (basically just a runny nose). When I first tried this it wrecked me lol. I do actually like the taste of these better than the 1x, there’s somehow less of the artificial chicken sweetness that I can’t stand from regular Buldak.

The red one was alright, the black one was worse.

I love the 2x. Pretty much the only ramen I eat
SaturnSleet
This is my go-to ramen; great flavor, decent spice, and I appreciate the relatively low sodium compared to many other instant ramens.

I love these things, I used to eat them daily.

I like to add garlic, green onion, fried spam, 2 eggs, some home made prik nam pla or chilli oil.

They are lunch. Hell for toddlers maybe

They have a weirdly prominent nasty bitter taste every time I’ve tried them

These things are delicious
You can cool down the heat a bit with dairy, and the flavors pair very well with it. Try tossing a slice or 2 of american cheese in (“deluxe” american, not the cheap stuff). Or enjoy with a large spoonful of sour cream.
Also pairs well with fermented product to deepen unami flavors. Try adding miso or fermented bean curd. Adding green onions is mandatory, and so is adding a fried sunny side up egg. Asian style, you fry it on high heat quickly so the white crisps up and the yolk is practically raw. Grilled spam is also an excellent option. Slice it and grill it, or dice it up.

These are manageable. But I swear the quality control is all over the place. Sometimes I’l get a pack that makes my lips swell from the heat and then sometimes they aren’t that bad. So idk. But the flavor is amazing. I prefer the Habanero Lime ones for flavor though

Theyre honestly my 3rd favorite buldak. 1st is yakisoba, 2nd is carbonara.
Couple years ago, I could hound these with no problems coming in or out, now they make my stomach hurt like no other even though my spice tolerance going in has only increased.
I am only 24, can only imagine my 30s with spicy foods lol

I love spicy food but these are not edible for me. Tried twice, not a good time. Needlessly hot.

Is the black package stronger? Or is red the strongest?

They taste like salt covered shit too

Idk what it is about this brand. The sauce is a hideous caustic goo that hurts my insides but I can’t stop eating
MaskedLemon0420
I’ll gladly take any you can’t finish.
I’d pay good money for 3x but can’t find it anywhere.

I really like the 2x spicy buldak sauce. It has a unique heat and slight sweetness that no other bottle of hot sauce seems to have.

I had this for lunch today. Added some onion, sliced up jalapeño, and pineapple. Served with a soft boiled egg. Delicious!

I ate two bags of the 2x last night. It’s weird how different areas build tolerance differently. My tongue felt no heat, but my throat and lips were on fire.

I was going to buy pizza for dinner but you just changed my mind… I could do with a pepper high
Gloomy-Entertainer15
they are but a few things you can do dont pour the entire packet add majo or egg to the recipe

Somehow I find the 2x and 1x spicier than the 3x. I added some yogurt once, balanced out that side flavour and spicyness.

Great stuff! Drinking the broth at the end is truly life affirming! 🤣

I love spicy food. I had the cup version of this and wow… it’s hotter than any habeneros I’ve enjoyed raw by themselves. They claim like 8,000 shu but it seems like it is more likely 800,000 shu with pepper extract.
It was hot, tssty too but I’m not sure I’d get another. It hit my mouth 10x more than the 1 chip challenge but only hit my gut to 1/10th of what the chip did [the chip had me thinking a kick in the nutz was more pleasant]

There’s a 3x out there
