Live To Eat: @Ramengirl Gifted Me Spicy Korean Ramen Noodles & It Was Awesome!

We love instant noodles in India. Many of us grew up on eating Maggi noodles and Top Ramen brand of cup noodles in the country. Even today, whenever I'm in the mood for instant noodles I try some of these, especially Wai Wai.

I'm a foodie and I love trying out different cuisine wherever I go. I've been trying to locate the exact pack of cup ramen that @ramengirl gave me for sometime now but I haven't been able to find it. I even looked for it on my trip around Malaysia. Anyways, I thought it would be great to share with you my experience of trying out instant noodles from South Korea!

At Steemfest 2017, dear Steemian from South Korea, @ramengirl gifted me this awesome cup of ramen noodles. Unfortunately I don't have a picture with @ramengirl and if my memory serves me right, she took a selfie on her camera. I hope to get that picture from her later.

Once I returned home I decided to give it a try. The ramen packaging said Fire and I was compelled to call it the 'Firepower' Noodles! It was Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen or buldak-bokkeum-myeon in Korean. It'll bring some Firepower in your stomach for sure!

If i remember correctly, it had two sachets inside for flavouring. One of them was the spicy red sauce. My mother felt I would die if I eat them but I was so tempted that I put loads of the sauce into the cup and added some boiling water and closed the lid.

It took a few minutes to warm it up. I mixed it up properly and I must say it was actually delicious. It was also very spicy but it was manageable for me. Off late my stomach has become rather sensitive but few months ago I could handle spicy food just fine.

It was the first time trying any type of Korean noodles and I enjoyed it very much. I'm quite surprised they like such spicy stuff. I suppose I have a lot to learn about South Korean culture and cuisine.

Actually, my experience of Korean food is rather limited to only Kimchi. I hope to visit South Korea in the next year or so and try out their cuisine. It took a few minutes for the spices to settle in and I could feel the warmth in my stomach after a while. It was really spicy. But I enjoyed it very much! I just kept the air-conditioner turned on for a while! ;)

The noodles is from a company called Samyang. They are popular for making many varieties of instant noodles in South Korea. It became famous due to the Fire Noodles Challenge. Yes! I was just as surprised to learn about this.

^{With the one and only @Ramengirl. It was wonderful meeting you at Steemfest!}

Thank you @ramengirl for introducing me to these amazing noodles from Korea. I had no idea how popular they are around the world. It was great to try them out and I hope someday I can get some awesome noodles in South Korea itself. Please share our picture from Steemfest if you have them on Steem.Chat and I would be happy to include it in the post.

Fire Noodles Challenge

I found this soon after I ate the noodles and googled it. The challenge became viral with people filming themselves eating a bowl of Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen. I found a video that had over 2.6 Million hits on Youtube. It's insane how many views this video has on YT!

There are a large variety of cup noodles from Korea. Infact that are websites dedicated to reviewing Instant noodles. There are freaking communities out there dedicated to noodles. It's amazing how people love these things.
