What is Buldak Ramen?

Buldak Ramen, or “fire chicken” ramen, is known for its intense spiciness and bold flavors. The carbonara flavor offers a unique twist, combining creamy Italian influences with the beloved fiery Buldak taste. This ramen brand is popular for bringing Korean flavors to a quick and easy instant noodle experience.

  • Comforting Texture: The creamy broth and soft noodles are ultra-satisfying.
  • Unique: A creative spin on traditional ramen and carbonara pasta that’ll impress anyone who loves fusion flavors.

Ingredients:

  • Buldak Ramen (Carbonara Flavor): This is the foundation, bringing both noodles and a savory, spicy seasoning packet to create that signature taste.
  • Kewpie Mayo: Adds richness and a creamy texture to the broth, balancing the spiciness with its slightly sweet flavor.
  • Egg Yolk: Gives the broth extra thickness and a silkier texture while adding a bit of protein.
  • Boiling Hot Water: Essential to dissolve and mix the seasoning and mayo into a smooth, creamy base.
  • Chopped Scallions: Freshness and a bit of crunch on top to contrast the creamy soup.
  • Chili Oil (Optional): For those who want an extra layer of spice and heat to amplify the Buldak flavor.

How to Make Creamy Carbonara Buldak Ramen:

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions.
  2. In a bowl, combine the Buldak seasoning, kewpie mayo, and egg yolk. Mix well.
  3. Add ½ to ¾ cup of boiling hot water from the cooked ramen to the mixture, stirring until it loosens into a creamy soup base.
  4. Toss in the cooked noodles, coating them in the creamy broth.
  5. Garnish with chopped scallions and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. Enjoy!

Storage:

This ramen is best eaten fresh for the creamiest texture!

Tips:

  • Adjust Spiciness: Reduce the seasoning packet or skip the chili oil for a milder taste.
  • Extra Creaminess: Add a bit more mayo or a splash of milk if you like a richer broth.
  • Substitute Kewpie Mayo: If you can’t find kewpie mayo, feel free to use regular mayo
  • Optional Protein Boost: Add a soft-boiled egg or some sliced grilled chicken on top for extra protein and heartiness.
