1. Tteumsae Ramen

Tteumsae Ramen is a famous spicy ramen. It is said to have originated from a ramen specialty store called 'Myeongdong Palkkeot'. It is said that the store's 'Palkkeot' menu was commercialized as a bag ramen by Paldo. It is probably the first ramen that comes to mind when you think of 'spicy ramen', and its Scoville scale is as high as 9,413. Bulldak Bokkeumyeon has a Scoville scale of around 4,400, so just how spicy is Tteumsae Ramen...
In 2022, an even spicier version of the ramen, called 'Tteumsae Ramen Extreme Experience', was released. This ramen has a Scoville scale of 15,000. If you search on YouTube, you will find many videos of foreigners trying this ramen to experience the spiciness of Korea.
If you are curious about the spicy taste of Korea, you might want to try Tteumsae Ramen. It is also recommended for those who no longer find Bulldak Bokkeumyeon spicy.

2. Yeol Ramen

Yeol Ramen has a Scoville scale of 5,000, which is also higher than Bulldak Bokkeumyeon. But why do I think Bulldak Bokkeumyeon is spicier in terms of feel? I think it's probably the difference between soup ramen and stir-fried ramen. With soup ramen, you can just eat the noodles and avoid the spicy broth, but with stir-fried ramen, the soup soaks into the noodles, so it feels spicier. Anyway, a recipe for eating Yeol Ramen with soft tofu to neutralize the spicy flavor has become popular. First, put the soup and soft tofu in a pot and boil, then add the noodles. This makes the spicy flavor less noticeable because of the soft tofu, so it is easier to eat. If you add sliced green onions, it tastes similar to soft tofu stew. Yeol Ramen is cheaper than other ramens, so I think it's more popular.

3. Ma Yeol Ramen

'Ma Yeol Ramen', the ramen that actor Hwang Jung-min advertises while eating deliciously on TV. Ma Yeol Ramen is another series of Yeol Ramen, which has been enhanced with more spiciness from Yeol Ramen. When I actually ate it, it definitely felt more painful on my lips and tongue than Yeol Ramen. The 'Ma' in 'Ma Yeol Ramen' is the 'Ma' in 'garlic'. It contains 'Mablok', which contains garlic ingredients, so I think the spiciness comes from there. Ma Yeol Ramen is recommended for those who have adapted to the spiciness of Yeol Ramen. However, it is a new product that has been released recently, so the price is slightly higher, which is a drawback.

4. Ramen Hangrug (Spicy and Rich Flavor)
E-mart Mall
'Ramen Hangrug Spicy and Rich Flavor', a spicy version of 'Ramen Hangrug' released by Nobrand. The characteristic of this ramen is that the spicy smell comes up as soon as you open the soup bag. It is not as well known as other ramens, but I think it can compete with other products in terms of spiciness. If you like spicy and salty flavors, you will definitely enjoy this. As is the characteristic of Nobrand, the product price is cheap, so this ramen also has the biggest advantage of being able to eat ramen for 536 won per pack, or 2,000 won for 5 packs.
