MALA BULDAK BOKKEUMMYEON (HOT CHICKEN Flavor RAMENMALA)

Mala Buldak Bokkeummyun is NOT 4x Spicy !!

SPECIAL Argument As OF 12/19/2017: It has come to my attention that many places/people are under the impression that this variety is considered to be 'Samyang Foods 4x Spicy Buldak Bokkeummyun.' This is definitely Not the case. Original Samyang Foods Buldak Bokkeummyun is 4,404SHU, 2x Spicy is eight,706SHU. I have been informed by Samyang Foods that Samyang Foods Mala Buldak Bokkeummyun is 2,700SHU – which is far less spicy than the original Samyang Foods Buldak Bokkeummyun. Sellers claiming this production equally Samyang Foods 4x Spicy Buldak Bokkeummyun – this is misleading and untrue.

Also, neither this nor any of the Buldak Bokkeummyun range contains pork or pork products equally mentioned past the company. Full review here

Jjajang HOT Craven Flavor / Jjajang Buldak Bokkeummyun – SHU 1,920 * Launched March 2018

Jjajang debuted March of 2018. It is on the lower end of the spectrum as far equally spiciness goes in the Buldak Bokkeummyun series, nonetheless it has a very adept flavor.

Interview

I was fortunate to exist able to interview Amelia Kwak / Overseas sales support team / Brand director on the subject of Samyang Foods Buldak Bokkeummyun line of products.

THE RAMEN RATER> How did you originally come up to make up one's mind to produce a super spicy instant noodle?

SAMYANG FOODS> Kim Jung-Su, the president of our visitor, noticed people crowded in a eating house which served spicy chickens and had an idea to develop a new stir-type of instant noodle. Our marketing and R&D team tried more than 1,200 spicy chicken dishes and 2 tons of spicy sauce to detect deliciously spicy tastes. We finally discovered the best portion of spicy sauce and launched 'Buldak Bokkeummyun'.

In my opinion, they seem to enjoy the challenge and salve their stress when they try it.

TRR> What does Buldak Bokkeummyun mean; what is Korean spicy chicken like?

SAMYANG FOODS> Information technology means a Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen. 'Bulkdak' means spicy chicken and 'Bokkeummyun' means stirred blazon of noodles. Korean spicy chicken is literally spicy chicken. In Korea, many restaurants usually cook it with very hot flavor adding blood-red pepper, which is more spicy than general Korean food. So, it is hard to swallow fifty-fifty for Korean. We added noodle on hot chicken flavor, so we could make characteristic noodle.

TRR> How did the Fire Noodle Challenge originate?

SAMYANG FOODS> Due to extremely spicy taste, Buldak Bokkeummyun mania were formed at first. Then, various recipe has been introduced by them, and spread through some Social Network Service aqueduct especially on YOUTUBE. Also, extremely spicy taste has been issued by the public. Based on this effect, people are all the same challenging to eat it worldwide.

TRR> Did you expect the level of popularity of this super spicy product?

SAMYANG FOODS> Nosotros strongly believed the success of "Buldak Bokkuemmyun" because there had been no this kind of stirred blazon of instant noodles until 2012. Nosotros idea many people who like spicy tastes would be addicted to that tastes as our product is characterized in deliciously spicy.

TRR> How practice you measure out the SHU – is there a special examination and how is the number calculated?

SAMYANG FOODS> SHU is a measurement of the spicy heat of chili peppers. Our R&D center analyzes the component of capsaicin and dehydrocapsaicin which cause spicy tastes in liquid soup. Then, we calculate SHU by standard equation.

TRR> Can yous detail exactly how yous figure out the SHU a fiddling more? Is spectrometry used? What is the standard formula y'all mentioned?

SAMYANG FOODS> As I told yous, SHU (Scoville Heat Unit) is a measurement of the spicy oestrus of chili peppers. First, we measure the concentration of capsaicin and dehydrocapsacin by using the HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). Then, nosotros measure out scoville heat units by using the equation below. (Although there is no official dominion of calculating SHU, we have used the equation which is mostly used.)

SHU = ( Dehydrocapsacin conc. X 0.82 + Capsacin conc. ) 10 16
※ Concentration unit of measurement = μg/g

SAMYANG FOODS> There is niggling differences in ingredients considering nosotros tried best to minimize those differences. However, yous can notice small differences because of cooking method. In a case of bowl type, Stir fourth dimension is skipped so information technology's more spicy than pack version. Actually, noodles release starch during stir fourth dimension so, spicy sense of taste is relatively relived
