What is ramen buldak?

Ramen buldak is a popular Korean spicy noodle dish that combines ramen noodles with a super spicy sauce made with gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), red pepper flakes, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and sesame oil. It also includes grilled chicken or other protein and vegetables like scallions, carrots, and cabbage.

The dish is known for its intense heat level and is often enjoyed by spice-loving foodies. It is also frequently featured in mukbang videos on social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok. In Korean, "buldak" means "fire chicken," which accurately describes the fiery flavor and sensation of the dish. Ramen buldak is widely available in Korean restaurants or can be made at home with pre-made sauce packets or by creating the sauce from scratch.
