What Are Buldak Noodles?
Buldak noodles — also known as "fire noodles" — are a range of ultra-spicy instant ramen from South Korean brand Samyang. The name literally translates to "fire chicken," and anyone who has tried them knows it is not an exaggeration. Since going viral on TikTok and YouTube, Buldak noodles have become one of the most searched-for food items in Ireland.
At Party Sweets, we stock the full Samyang Buldak range — from the original hot chicken flavour to carbonara, cheese, curry, and the infamous 2x Spicy. Here is everything you need to know.
The Samyang Buldak Range
Samyang offers Buldak in both packet noodles and cup noodle formats, plus standalone sauces for cooking at home:
Buldak Ramen Noodles (Packet)
- Buldak 2x Spicy (140g) — The hottest in the range. Not for the faint-hearted. The TikTok challenge favourite.
- Buldak Carbonara (130g) — Creamy carbonara meets Korean spice. A milder entry point for beginners.
- Buldak Cheese (140g) — Cheesy, spicy, and dangerously addictive.
- Buldak Hot Chicken Curry (140g) — A warming curry twist on the classic fire noodle.
Buldak Cup Noodles
- Buldak 2x Spicy Cup (70g) — The full 2x Spicy experience in a convenient cup format. Just add boiling water.
Buldak Sauces
Samyang also sell their iconic Buldak sauces in 200g bottles — perfect for stir-fries, chicken wings, or adding heat to any dish:
- Original Hot Chicken Sauce — The signature Buldak heat in a bottle.
- 2x Spicy Hot Chicken Sauce — Double the spice for those who can handle it.
- Carbonara Hot Chicken Sauce — Creamy and spicy, great as a pasta sauce or dip.
