Samyang Buldak Truffle Spicy Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 226

The Buldak releases just never seem to stop! Samyang Buldak Truffle Spicy Ramen is a brand-new US release that started rolling out to Walmart stores shortly before I filmed this review. It sells for $7.48 per five-pack, although it may not have reached every local Walmart yet. Samyang has been dropping new Buldak flavors without much fanfare lately, which feels a little strange for one of the biggest instant noodle product lines in the world. I have no idea whether this will eventually show up in other supermarket chains or Asian grocery stores, so check around if it interests you.

Samyang Buldak Rosé Spicy Ramen (US Version) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 222

Today’s review is kind of an update to the review all the way back in episode 90 where I reviewed the version of Samyang Buldak Rosé sold in South Korea. It’s no longer necessary to jump through hoops to import Buldak Rosé, but is it the same recipe? Today I’m reviewing this pack of Samyang Buldak Rosé, the version specifically exported to the US from South Korea.

Nongshim Neoguri Spicy Seafood Stir-Fry Noodles Review | Noodle Journey

Here's one I should have reviewed a long time ago: Nongshim Neoguri Spicy Seafood Stir-Fry Noodles. If you never watched my 25th episode spectacular from way back when, I pitted the soup versions of Neoguri against each other, Korean export vs. American manufactured, and it was a pretty interesting experiment and it gives you an idea as to what Neoguri's all about. Basically, it's a thick-noodled spicy beef and seafood broth concoction not too dissimilar from jjambbong, and it's also available in this stir-fry form if you prefer something brothless.

Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 212

Samyang is really embracing the Mexican-Korean fusion trend lately. In the past, we've seen the brand release flavors like Corn, Habanero Lime, and Taco. Now, the company has finally released a flavor that many viewers have been asking me to review: Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen. If you aren't familiar with birria, it is a Mexican stew traditionally made with goat and slowly simmered in a rich consommé broth, though more commonly (especially in the US), it is often made with beef or sometimes chicken. While birria tacos have been around for a long time, birria went viral in the last few years because of people making "birria ramen" by mixing the meat and consommé with ramen noodles. I live near a phenomenal Asian-Mexican fusion restaurant, and I thought the Tapatio Birria Ramen was excellent, so I have a bit of a bias and high expectations for how an instant version should taste.
