I Tried Buldak Fire Noodles… and WOW 😳🔥 SuperChef vs Supermarket

Jul 31, 2025 · 7:20

Summary

Darnell takes on the viral Buldak Fire Noodles everyone's talking about on TikTok, and he's judging them like it's a competition show. He follows the package instructions exactly, preps the ramen his own way since six tablespoons of leftover water makes zero sense, and digs in while it's still steaming. The verdict? This $3.29 bowl hits different. It's got restaurant-quality flavor that'll blow your mind, but that sodium content is no joke. Darnell grades it A+ for taste and price, C minus for nutrition, and promises he's serving this at a pop-up dinner without telling anyone it's instant ramen.

All right

So, on this episode of Super Chef Vers Supermarket, we are going ramen

So, everyone has been talking about these

We going to put them to the test

We going to judge them just like a competition show

Let's get back to the kitchen and see what these is about. [Music]

All right

So, we are back in the kitchen and we're trying this I mean ultra popular carbonara budac ramen

And everyone has been seeing this on social media

People have their own recipes for it

But today, I'm going to try it based on what they tell you to do from the people who made it and is profiting off

of it and who created it, who know how they want to sell it

Okay? There's a thousand way

I've been seeing people with a actually I tried it

Egg yolks and Qi mayo

It's a lot of different ways they doing it, but this is 100% exactly like it says on the container

Only difference is it tells you to boil

water and then add the water to here, let it sit for a second, then add the sauces

But they want you to like what does it say? It says re remain 6 tablespoons of water and drain the rest

Like that's going to be hard for people to understand like how much to keep in here

So what I did was just like the

old school ramen we grew up on Top Ramen

I boiled them put them in here

Put as much water as I like in there and then I did it that way

So that's my little remix cuz it's hard to understand six tablespoons left

Like how you know how much six tablespoon is left cuz there's noodles in there with it

So

outside of that, let's get into this

First of all, this ramen looks fire

And when I say fire, this is these noodles

I don't know if they're calling it ramen

Yeah, spicy ramen look fire

I mean chopped ramen, which they could, which they should

Like this is a whole

different level

I mean like this looks like something you would get in a restaurant

So, shout out to this brand for putting a product together that mimics restaurant quality, but it's like 2 seconds and kids can do it at home

So, big ups to that

First things first, let's get into talk that talk

That's

where we see if this product is saying anything I need to tell you about it

Uh, it's a hala product

So, um, anyone who needs hala food, this is this is it already

Um, that's one good thing

What else does it say on there? Um, nothing

Just a warning

Cancer and rep reproductive harm.

Oh shoot, that is not good

But uh let's just pass that on up

I want to get right into the taste cuz this ramen is hot

So I don't want no cold ramen

So let's try this thing out

You can still see a little smoke coming out

We really cooking and eating here, man

I couldn't imagine eating this cold because then I

wouldn't be telling you how it really tastes cuz temperature matters with flavor

Hope you understand it. [Music] This is a competition show, which this is a competition show

People, do not forget that

This is a competition show

We We I'm I'm graing these things like

you would if you was on a show

If I was on the show, I'd eat this whole bowl

We'll probably judge it

Just be serious

I'd eat this whole bowl. [Music] F I R E all day, every day

This is fire

It's spicy

First of all, it's advertising spicy ramen

It's exactly

what it say

But man, so you put this little cheese package in here also

And you got like a sauce packet you put in here

This you got to like spicy

If you don't like spicy like one of my kids, you will not two of them

You will not like this

Uh so I look over there cuz they're sitting there

But um this is

flavorful

Oh my gosh

Flavor bomb

I mean a nuke, a missile, a AR-15, whatever you need to understand

This is fire

This is it

Um I mean it's crazy that it has so much flavor

Like so many componas

Like some death of flavor. precise some ramen that came by the store that cost $3.29

How much does

ramen go? $329

Let's get the price real quick

I'm going to cut into price

Price great

A meal for 3.29 always wins

A+ for price

Back to taste

Now, this man, this what I'm going to do one day

I'm going to have a a dinner, like a pop-up lunch

I'm going to serve ramen.

But this going to be the ramen I'm going to serve them

See if anyone knows

But I guarantee you everybody will say, "This is delicious, Super Chef

Oh, this was great cuz that's how good it is." So, when it comes to taste for me, I mean, first of all, the price is delicious

So, the food is even better

when you get this much flavor with it

So, um, taste A+

That's hard to get to, but it's so much dark flavor

Flavor A+

Price A+

What we got next? Let me look

I like looking at my phone

If I I you always wonder like why is he always looking at his phone to make sure he knows what to judge on because I be so

in tune with what I'm saying like I'm really not focused on what's next to try to be present in the moment or whatever I'm talking about

Um so next we have nutrition

That'll be good

Let me see what they working with nutrition

Okay

Sodium super high

Super high.

Sheesh

God All right

Eat this in moderation

Don't eat it every week

Eat it like twice a month

Okay

Uh sodium's high, saturated fat's high

So when you look at cholesterol, zero

I mean, total carbs 23

When you look at calories, uh it's 470 calories in one

That's a sheesh.

That's surprise

All right

You taking me back now that I'm reading

I haven't read this nutritional label till now

So 470 calories

Calories come from your fat, your carbs, and your protein. 7 g of protein

Total carbohydrates 23% of your daily value

I mean sodium is 52% of

your daily value

Uh red flag red flag

Um let's get a positive though

I like to give a positive

The positive here on it is that 0% cholesterol

Both things have that

Uh but um yeah, I mean 7 g of protein is a positive

Uh but when it comes to nutrition, this it's getting a hard D plus C minus

Uh

they need to work

I don't know if you need to work on it cuz you can consume what you like

It's just how often you get it

And this is that good

This is like that kind of they say, you know, food like changes your whole like happiness

This will give you joy if you like spicy food

So everyone deserves

joy at least twice a month

Um if you're married at least at least 12 times a month

All married people know what I'm talking about

Heaven know me

So, uh, yeah, this is a great product

Uh, availability, obviously, this is all over Tik Tok, Instagram, everywhere

So, availability, A+

Overall, as you can

tell from what I've had to say about this product, it's a winner for me

So, I ain't going to tell you to go find it, go buy it

But when it comes to me, it's amazing

So, this is Super Chef Vers Supermarket

Remember, let me know what you want me to try out for you

We will see you next time
