Samyang Cheese Buldak Bokkeummyeon is a Korean-style instant stir-fried noodle (bokkeummyeon) product. Unlike regular soup-based instant noodles (Ramyeon), the noodles are boiled and then almost all the water is drained before the included sauce is added and everything is tossed together in the pot or pan. The result is a nearly broth-free, dry-style noodle where the sauce coats the noodles intensely for a bold, concentrated flavour. This product belongs to the famous Korean "Buldak" (Bul = fire, Dak = chicken — meaning fire-hot chicken) series, known for its extreme spice level, with the addition of cheese flavour. It comes with a chilli-based spicy sauce and mozzarella cheese powder, creating a harmony of fiery heat and creamy cheese. The 5-pack multipack offers great value for regular enjoyment.

Samyang Cheese Buldak Bokkeummyeon is considered "very spicy" even by Korean standards. It contains a significant amount of red pepper powder, chilli powder and chilli extract, giving it a strong, intense heat. It is considerably hotter than typical European spicy foods (such as dishes with a dash of Tabasco sauce). That said, the mozzarella cheese powder partially tempers the heat, making it slightly milder than the original Buldak Bokkeummyeon. If you are not accustomed to spicy food, we recommend using only half the sauce packet when cooking, or adding cream cheese, egg or milk to reduce the spice level. If you are trying it for the first time, start with a small portion.
