Momofuku Ando probably had no idea of the lasting culinary mark he would leave with his invention of instant ramen in the late 1950s. Today, there are unlimited instant noodle varieties on store shelves, from longtime-favorite ramen soups to newly popular air-dried options like the TikTok-trending Squiggly Noodles from Trader Joe's.
Notoriously hot among young people—with viral TikTok videos racking up millions of views with comments like, “Their spicy ramen ain’t a joke”—Samyang has come a long way since introducing Korea’s first-ever ramen in 1963. This Buldak ramen, aka “Fire Chicken Ramen, is the company's best-selling product. The listed flavorings include MSG and too many ingredients to count. A 5-pack from Amazon set me back $6.88, or $1.37 per pack.
The taste: Distinctly sweet at first, before an intense spicy heat kicked in. Disclaimer: I love spicy food and consider my heat tolerance to be high, but whoa! That’s what I said out loud after the first bite as the chili spice almost knocked my tonsils out. The heat level on this one is so high that my lips were still burning 10 minutes later.
Even so, I’d buy them again and add my own hot chili crisp and some veggies because, ladies and gentlemen and humans of all ages, this one wins for best overall nutrition with its low calories and lowest fat content for the whole group, plus 10 grams of protein!RELATED: I Tried 5 Instant Mashed Potatoes & the Best Was Creamy and Well-Seasoned
The Momofuku Spicy Soy Noodles list 12 simple ingredients, including the accompanying flavor packet. They’re air-dried, never fried or frozen, and vegan. The noodles cook up in a quick four minutes.
