Buldak Hot Chicken Spicy ramen ramen Epice Carbonara Flavour Noodles 130g | Creamy Korean Spicy Ramen samyang

Samyang Buldak Carbonara 130g is the famous pink-pack Buldak: chewy Korean stir-fried noodles in a creamy, cheesy carbonara-style sauce with the signature Buldak hot chicken heat. It is the flavour that made Buldak popular with people who thought they could not handle spicy noodles, because the creaminess softens the chilli without hiding it. It is also one of the best-selling ramen packs on Kicks.pk.

If you are looking for the Buldak Carbonara price in Pakistan, or deciding between Carbonara, Cream Carbonara and the hotter Buldak flavours, this guide covers the taste, heat level, cooking method, upgrades and storage.

What is Buldak Carbonara?

Buldak means "fire chicken" in Korean. Samyang launched the original Buldak hot chicken noodles in 2012, and the spicy noodle challenge made them famous around the world. Carbonara arrived as a creamier take: the same thick, chewy noodles and hot chicken sauce, plus a powder made with cheese and milk that turns the sauce silky. The bright pink pack has become one of the most recognised instant noodle packs anywhere.

How spicy is Buldak Carbonara?

Carbonara is one of the gentler Buldak flavours, but it is still spicy. On our heat scale it sits just above Cream Carbonara and well below the Original and the 2X and 3X Spicy. Most people who eat moderately spicy desi food find it comfortable. If you are new to Buldak, it is the best place to start. Our Buldak flavours ranked by spice level guide puts every flavour in order.

What it tastes like

The noodles are thick, chewy and springy. The sauce is creamy and slightly cheesy, with a smoky, sweet chilli heat that builds slowly rather than hitting all at once. The dairy rounds off the spice, so you taste the chilli without it taking over. It is rich and satisfying, closer to a spicy pasta than a soup noodle.

2. Cook for around five minutes, until soft but still chewy.

3. Drain, leaving about eight tablespoons of water in the pan.

4. Add the liquid sauce and the carbonara powder.

5. Stir-fry on medium heat for about thirty seconds until the sauce coats every noodle.

Always check the instructions printed on your pack, as cooking times can vary slightly.

How to make it even better

• Add an egg: stir in a raw egg yolk off the heat for a richer, carbonara-style sauce, or top with a fried egg.
• Add cheese: a slice of cheddar or a handful of mozzarella makes it extra creamy.
• Add milk: a splash of milk with the sauce makes it milder and silkier.
• Add protein: leftover chicken tikka, sausages or a few prawns turn it into a full meal.
• Add crunch: sesame seeds and chopped spring onion on top.
