Buldak spicy noodles are back on shelves in Denmark after the food authorities there canceled part of their recall decision concerning the famous Korean instant noodles product, originally issued due to their extreme spiciness and consequent health risks.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced, Monday (local time), that two of the three products that had been recalled were not harmful to health, based on updated risk assessments.
“Based on the new analysis results and the DTU Food Institute’s updated risk assessment, the administration concludes that two of the products, Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Hot Chicken and Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Stew, do not contain capsaicin levels as high as those reported by the distributors in the marketing,” the Danish administration said in a press release.
Man I’m all for spicy but there’s a point for me when I can’t even enjoy the flavor that just kills it. As much as I want to love them, I haven’t found a version that isn’t ‘light you life on fire’ hot.
I like it sometimes. The temporary pain is stress relieving for me. It’s not about the flavor anymore then.
Having done extreme spice multiple times you start to taste the flavors again btw.
Also if it’s not your thing why would you want to love them? I don’t think anyone should need to justify not liking some food.
It definitely takes a lot more than “a few times”.
I have the regular Buldak and use 1/4 of the sauce pouch. You get the flavor without the pointlessly high spice level.
Try the ones not called 3x spice and replace the water with coconut milk.

As a Thai food lover, I’m trying this fusion.
Thanks for this! I’ll give it a try.
