What is Buldak Omelet?
The Buldak Omelette is a trendy Malaysian street food that combines the bold heat of Korean Buldak ramemn with the creaminess of melted cheese and savory sausage. Wrapped in a soft, fluffy egg, this dish is the perfect balance of spicy, cheesy, and comforting flavors. Originating from the popularity of Buldak ramyun, this omelet has become a viral sensation across Southeast Asia and is now loved by foodies worldwide.
How Spicy Is Buldak ramen?
Most people have heard of Buldak Ramen. It is one of the spiciest Korean instant noodles in the world. Many find the idea of eating Buldak intimidating. Wondering just how hot it is? The original Buldak Ramen has a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of about 4,400 SHU, while spicier versions like the 2x Spicy can reach up to 8,800 SHU.
To compare with chili peppers:
- It’s hotter than a jalapeño (2,500-5,000 SHU).
- But not as hot as a Habanero (100,000-350,000 SHU).
The Buldak Trend
Do you like ‘Buldak Ramyun’? I absolutely love it! Whenever I miss spicy Korean food, I often reach for Buldak. It’s one of those comforting dishes that brings the taste of Korean fiery heat, especially abroad where it’s harder to find spicy food.
Lately, it seems like the Buldak trend has gone global. Even here in Belgium, almost every supermarket sells Buldak, and sometimes it’s sold out! Considering how spicy it is for even many Koreans, it’s fascinating that there’s even a “Buldak Challenge” trending among people worldwide. It’s amazing because, when I was studying in Canada, my host mom tried Shin Ramyun (which is less spicy than Buldak) and ended up with tears in her eyes, haha
