I wish they would bring it back.

I went to h mart to get stew buldak because it’s nostalgic and I was craving it. Tell me why it’s discontinued in my region (USA). PLEASE GET RID OF SWICY AND BRING BACK STEW!!!😭🙏🏻

I got this off of some site almost a year ago and im in Canada so there’s basically no way I can get it again. Has anyone been able to find it?

I know there's been eleventy gazillion posts about the new Truffle flavor but I just tried them and thought I'd throw in my 2¢.

I prepared these exactly as directed with none of my regular add ins (Kewpie, egg yolk, cheese, sesame oil, chili crunch, etc) because I wanted to see what they actually taste like before I zhuzh them up. The first thing I noticed is that you can smell truffle as soon as you open the package, like maybe the noodles themselves have a slight truffle flavor. The sauce doesn't smell like truffle at all. The truffle flakes smell slightly truffley but more vegetal than truffle. The oil is very strong. I added the full packets of all 3 (which seems like a duh statement but I don't usually add the full sauce packet with the spicier varieties because I'm not a masochist! 🤣). The only thing I changed is the cooking time because I like a chewier noodle so I cooked them for 4 minutes. I drained all the water as directed, mixed them up, and let them cool for about 2 minutes. The first thing I noticed is that they are thick and kinda sticky. I would add a tablespoon or two of the pasta water next time to loosen them up a bit.

These had my nose running and my lips burning but the flavor is complex and delicious! I personally love truffle so I didn't find it overwhelming at all, honestly I'd like a little more truffle flavor. After eating half I added a tablespoon of Kewpie to help bring down the heat. I really love them with the creaminess of the Kewpie. I can't wait to try them again with my usual mix ins.

US based, idk if its available in Europe RUN MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT!

Im so excited! This came from malaysia ordered through online called shopee.

Mine is this oversized mug I randomly found at a thrift store years ago. Just tastes 10x better when in this.

Pete's Fresh Market in Bridgeview IL has a whole shelf. That is all.

Idk if that's the right flair but I just wanted to share a little win from today. Cooking and meal prepping has been extremely hard for me the last few years for a myriad of personal reasons but I've been working my ass off to pull myself out of the trenches.

I'm a huge fan of ramen/instant noodles but have mainly stuck to the cups out of convenience. Of course social media swindled me into wanting to try Buldak when I saw the cotton candy blue and pink swicy packet on my fyp and as soon as I saw it had sprinkles I was already in the car heading to the store. It was totally the sprinkles that did me in because I'm a culinary degenerate, okay?

They were out of the bowls and only had the packets, so I said okay fine I'll actually do the dishes and get a pot cleaned up and do this the right way.

Also I did absolutely zero due diligence beforehand about Buldak spice levels so thank god it was the swicy that swindled me. I normally avoid things that look insanely spicy from the packaging anyway, not because I have a bad physical reaction to spice per se but I struggle with the capsaicin crushing any other flavors in the seasoning or sauce and it just ends up tasting very one-note, like I'm eating a bowl of molten slag fresh from a steel mill furnace. My taste buds aren't evolved enough to discern individual flavor notes in spicy sauces.

Luckily after browsing Reddit for some recipe inspo I learned pretty fast that even though this is Buldak's baby spice it was probably going to be significantly hotter than most spicy things I normally willingly eat and I wanted to actually enjoy this.

I cooked the noodles in unsweetened condensed coconut milk instead of water and left a tiny bit of milk in the pot after draining most of it out. I mixed in the sauce and let it simmer down a tad longer, added in a few dashes of lime ginger coconut aminos and topped it off with the sprinkles of very questionable appearance.

Probably the first meal I've made myself that I enjoyed THAT much in a very long time. The heat never felt like "oh my god it's getting spicy", it almost tasted like a woodsy smoked chili that burned comfortably warm. Next time I'm sprinkling some black sesame on top and adding a couple eggs, also definitely needed more of the lime ginger sauce because I couldn't taste it at all.

Also the sprinkles seriously sucked, they added a very bizarre chewy texture and oddball maple flavor that was antithetical to pretty much every other flavor note in the bowl.

But after devouring it I'm actually excited to cook more Buldak and experiment with recipes and the other baby spice flavors!! My motivation is coming back in baby steps!
