Creamy, spicy, addictive ramen, in less than five minutes – buldak carbonara is the perfect mix of carbs, spicy, and sauce goodness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of ramen, you\u2019ve probably heard of Samyang Instant Ramen. They\u2019re the Korean company that makes instant ramen classics like Buldak Hot Chicken<\/a>, Buldak Hot Chicken with Cheese, and, of course, Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara.<\/p>\n

I love instant ramen. I love it a lot. But I definitely don\u2019t love it as much as that little girl who cried tears of joy when she received a 5 pack of spicy buldak carbonara for her birthday<\/a>. She was so incredibly happy and grateful and it just warmed my heart. It also made me wonder, how the heck is her spice tolerance so high? Because even though buldak carbonara isn\u2019t as spicy as the regular hot chicken buldak, it is still pretty darn spicy!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not instant ramen obsessed, you might be wondering what the heck is buldak carbonara. It\u2019s gone pretty viral on TikTok because it\u2019s creamy, glossy, and delicious-looking. It also happens to be pretty darn spicy and people like watching people when they eat spicy things – just look at how amazingly popular Hot Ones<\/a> is! Side note, that Hot Ones episode with Sydney Sweeney<\/a> \ud83e\udd75.<\/p>\n

What is buldak carbonara?<\/h2>\n

Buldak carbonara is a flavor of instant ramen from Samyang. It\u2019s part of a ramen line that features super hot-n-spicy ramens. The buldak carbonara flavor comes in a pink pouch with a cute drawing of a hot chicken on it. I think the pink denotes the fact that it\u2019s less spicy than the fire red 2x spicy buldak. Essentially, it\u2019s a hot and spicy chicken ramen but with a carbonara-inspired sauce that is creamy thanks to the extra little packet of cheese.<\/p>\n

How to make homemade buldak carbonara<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t have access to Samyang buldak carbonara and are craving it hard, you can make your own at home! I\u2019ve heard that the carbonara flavor is sold out a lot, but thankfully there\u2019s a homemade hack!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gather.<\/strong> Start by gathering your ingredients. It\u2019s not as simple as opening a pack of buldak carbonara, but you gotta do what you\u2019ve got to do. You\u2019ll need some ramen noodles, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, chicken boullion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, 1 egg yolk, milk powder, and freshly grated parmesan.<\/li>\n
  2. Mix.<\/strong> Add gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, chicken boullion powder, garlic powder, pepper, milk powder, parmesan, and one egg yolk to a bowl. Whisk until everything comes together, then set aside.<\/li>\n
  3. Cook.<\/strong> Bring a pot of water up to a boil and cook your noodles of choice according to the package ingredients. Save 1\/2 cup of the hot noodle water then drain your noodles.<\/li>\n
  4. Stir.<\/strong> Add 1\/4 cup of the hot noodle water to the bowl with your sauce mix. Whisk it all up until it\u2019s smooth.<\/li>\n
  5. Toss.<\/strong> Add the sauce into the pot that has the noodles and mix and toss until the sauce is glossy and coats and clings to the noodles, adding hot noodle water, bit by bit if needed to loosen the sauce. When the noodles are nice and saucy, remove from the heat.<\/li>\n
  6. Enjoy.<\/strong> Scoop your noodles out into a bowl or eat them straight from the pot, no side eye here! Time to get your spicy on!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
