So I’ve not reviewed this one in a long time. Way back when it was introduced, it had a black background, then changed to cheese colored to lessen confusion. That was back when the import version looked like the original Korean version with the Hangul text. Well, this is the current version for the US market. They’ve changed the recipe for a few of these and so curious about how this one is these days. Let’s find out. Oh – and by the way – this isn’t chicken flavored – it’s based on the spicy sauce you put on Korean BBQ chicken, so calling this chicken flavored is like calling Sweet Baby Ray’s beef flavored – but that explanation would really make for a long title. Ok let’s do this.
Samyang Buldak Cheese Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen – United States
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, fill to line with boiling water and cover for 4 minutes. Drain. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!

The noodle block.
A sachet of sauce.
A sachet of cheese powder.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, angle-cut green onion, and sesame seed. Noodle has a nice gauge and chew. Sauce is spicy as usual with a little creamy cheesiness added in. My only issue with this is the dryness; a little liquid, maybe 15-30ml would lubricate things a little which would have made it better. Nonetheless, good stuff. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. 8801073211056.
