About this deal

You’re supposed to prepare this by immediately blanching it in cold water. However, others went as far as putting it in the fridge or putting ice cubes. I opted for the normal way of doing it, and let me say, this is more painful than the regular fire noodles. Finally, we add in the gochujang, salt, and pepper. I added a full 3 Tablespoons of gochujang because I like spicy stuff, but you can dial it down to 1 or 2 Tablespoons. Start with the smaller amount, then taste the sauce and adjust. It’s easier to add than to remove an ingredient once it’s in there. If you want to omit the gochujang for a plain Carbonara Tteokbokki, you can do that too, but personally I don’t recommend this. In my opinion, the addition of the Korean red pepper paste helps keep the richness of the dish balanced. As you can imagine, this is far from an authentic carbonara...but it's just as good (in my spice-obsessed opinion). As I said above, this samyang carbonara takes less than 10 minutes to make and only requires a handful of ingredients.

Now that we’ve talked about the prep work, it’s time to get cooking! We start by melting the butter in a pan over medium heat, and then stir-frying the garlic in it until fragrant. Then we add in the bacon (or in my case, the sausages) and sauté until the meat starts to brown. We want the butter to become flavored by that garlic and sausage so it will permeate the sauce later on. In goes the bell peppers, and we cook it a couple of minutes to let the flavors intensify. (The mushroom is supposed to go in with the bell peppers.) Jump to Recipe Print Recipe This Spicy Carbonara Tteokbokki is a fusion dish that gives a modern, creamy spin on the popular Korean street food. Super addictive! I like going the extra mile when eating this by adding either chopped bacon or sausage slices. If you want to tone down the spice, you can add milk instead of water when you’re tossing the half-cooked noodles with the sauce. Do this in a pot with the fire still on so the liquid gets reduced. The cream isn’t much better either. The fill line on the cup is adding way… too much water to the cream sauce. It’s not cream, but more like milk. It makes these noodles feel like eating a diluted bowl of carbonara. The next time you go out for some Italian Carbonara with your significant other, ask your server for a jug of water and proceed to dump it into your noodles, then you’ll know exactly how I feel about this ramen from Samyang. Samyang Foods, Inc. has established a thorough quality management system so that consumers can trust its products by being certified by qualified international offices (KOLAS, ISO22000, HALAL) as well as a domestic one, HACCP.Mala Buldak ramen noodles is originally referred to as the x4 fire noodles, the Mala Buldak ramen gained popularity because of the eating challenge. Add bacon strips and mushrooms to the pan. Stir fry on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are fully cooked. Once your noodles are ready, strain them and then add them into your frying pan with your sauce and bacon. Give it all a good mix until everything is well combined.

The Korean Spicy Noodles brand, Samyang, has taken Asia by storm and we’ve decided to ride the Hallyu wave too. We fished out one of each flavour, including the latest addition to the spicy noodle family – Jja Jang Myeon, or Zha Jiang Mian as we know it in Mandarin. Natural Samyang Inc. stably supplies a variety of agro-fishery products including the ingredients for ramen soup base such as scallions, garlic, sesame, red pepper and seafood. Samyang Farm Inc. provides fresh beef and milk from a vast Farm at an altitude of 850m to 1,400m around Daegwallyeong in Gangwon-do.

Once again, I had to update the Samyang ramen ranking with some new Scoville Heat Units (SHU) numbers for this ramen. It comes in at almost exactly 2,000 SHU, which puts it ever so slightly behind the Buldalk Bokkeum Myeon Carbonara. For most, 2,000 SHU is no laughing matter. These noodles are spicy enough to make you think someone turned on the heat. However, the spiciness is made manageable by the watery / milky cream that dilutes most of the intensity found in these noodles.

You can also some hotdog or sausage slices to make the dish even more interesting. If you want, you can even top it off with shredded cheese. To cook, just put the noodles in boiling for 5 minutes, drain the excess hot water (save 8 tablespoons of the hot water), and then mix the noodles with the buldak sauce, cream carbonara powder, and the 8 tablespoons of hot water. As per instructions, it looks like there’s no need to stir fry (as with the cheese buldak and 2x buldak ramen versions). The Taste Test One of the variants that I really like, the Buldak Bibimmyeon is very different noodle-wise. It’s much thinner and chewier which makes every bite a wonderful experience. It’s also savory and spicy at the same time.

I’d recommend you add your own ingredients such as luncheon meat and vegetables to replicate the true Mala experience. One of my colleagues couldn’t stop herself from taking bite after bite, even after the repeated “are you sure?” from the rest of us. But needless to say, a few minutes later we all found her on the couch with two ice cubes in her mouth to ease her burning tongue. Well, I guess what they say about getting hurt by the things you love the most is true after all. There is a pronounced spiciness within the aroma of these instant noodles. It definitely smell spicier than the noodles actually taste. As you would guess, these noodles also smell nice and creamy, but it all comes with a hint of the carny cheese Samyang used in their previous noodles. The cream carbonara powder just adds a creamy sauciness to the chewy noodle strands that it leaves a lot of the creaminess on the lips. I guess adding 8 tablespoons of hot water to the buldak sauce and cream carbonara powder and noodle mix enhanced the creaminess a lot more, so do not miss this step.
