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