Buldak Birria Noodles 130g

Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen 130g brings together the fiery heat of Korea's famous Buldak noodles with the rich, savoury flavours of Mexican-inspired birria. It's a fun fusion for anyone who likes their instant noodles seriously spicy.

The noodles have the familiar springy Buldak texture, coated in a smoky, chilli-infused sauce with savoury, meaty notes, tomato, garlic, onion and a hint of lime. Samyang describes the flavour as combining Buldak's signature heat with the deep, savoury character of birria.

It's worth noting that this isn't traditional Mexican birria in noodle form – it's a Korean instant ramen inspired by the flavours of birria, making it an interesting crossover between two popular food cultures.

To prepare, cook the noodles in boiling water for around 5½ minutes, drain the water, then mix thoroughly with the sauce and powder sachets.

At 130g, it's a substantial single serving and makes a quick lunch, dinner or late-night snack. You can also add your own toppings, such as spring onions, coriander, lime or a fried egg, to make the bowl your own.

If you already love Buldak or fancy trying something a little different, this spicy birria-inspired ramen is one to add to the cupboard.
