Description
The carbonara buldak ramen recipe is an upgraded home-cooked take on South Korea’s massively famous Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Carbonara. “Buldak” literally translates from Korean to “fire chicken,” referring to the intense, fiery chili sauce that defines the signature noodle series.

- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
