South Korean noodles - BoxPressured - 07-10-2026
Has anyone else come across "Samyang Buldak" noodles out of nowhere and gave it a try?
Somehow completely Korean packaging ended up on the shelves, with pretty enticing packaging that promises some taste other than chicken flavoured salt.
- First time trying - empties the packet, waits for it, tries it, ends up blowing in tissues.
- Second time - put less spices
- Third time - entire packet is actually better for taste, I will keep tissues nearby
That was my experience with them. But at some stage I came across information that it contains so much sodium, that regular consumption gives people kidneystones.
Something that turns you yellow, gives you back pain and requires a doctor's visit - maybe not a great product to indulge in.
Tasty though. What other nice and spicy "everyday" meals that would be good to try?
