Well, hmm. I think it’s time for something spicy. It’s early August 2023 and you know – spicy food. It’s funny – the chicken here kind of looks like Terminator with a chili pepper machine gun or something. I should note that this is the first review using my new tool – the RPFD – the ramen packaging flattening device. What’s that? Well, it’s a suction cup shower handle attached to a clear piece od thick Plexiglas which does a great job of flattening packs of instant noodles on the scanner. After over 4,000 reviews and trying different things to aid in scanning problem wrinkly packs, this came to me after using a tablet screen to hold down a metallic pack a few reviews back. You can see the post I did about it here. By the way, while it’s definitely got export info for the US, it’s got it for many countries, so this isn’t specific for the US and so it gets a South Korea label. Let’s try some fire?
I’ve been reviewing instant noodles since 2002, doing episodes of Instant Noodle Recipe Time, The Chocolate Break with my wife, Professional Mukbang, Unboxing Time With The Ramen Rater and more. Right now, we’re in a pretty crummy financial situation and hoping that some of the fans will be able to help out – a lot of bills, loss of some resources, and ongoing illness have all contributed to being a perfect storm which is very hard. Big thank you from all who have already!! Please check the link here for details – thank you.
Bulramen Extra Hot Stir-fried Ramen – South Korea
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle for 5 minutes and drain, saving 8 spoons water (8 tablespoons = 8*15ml-120ml). Add in noodle, sauce, and water and stir fry for 30 seconds. Finally, add garnish and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A sachet of sauce.
A sachet of garnish – seaweed and sesame seed.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added green onion. I’ll start with the noodle – it’s got a nice thick gauge and chewiness is really quite exemplary. Then all that touchy feely warm happiness ends. It tastes awful. It’s just kind of confusing what they’re going for here – burnt chicken? Off putting-ness? The heat level doesn’t come close to the inaugural product by it’s competitor. I did a mukbang of this and it was a real disappointment. 1.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 761898761953.
