How to Cook

1. Boil noodles in 600mL of water for 3 minutes 30 seconds
2. Drain most of the water, leaving approximately 7 tablespoons in the pot
3. Add the liquid sauce packet and mix on low heat for 30 seconds
4. Turn off heat, add the flakes packet and mix well
5. 💡 Tip: Adding minced garlic, shallots, or chili flakes intensifies the flavor. A soft-boiled egg or slice of cheese on top helps balance the heat

Surviving the Heat — Tips

• 🥛 Dairy cuts heat: Milk, cheese, or a dollop of mayo on top is the most effective way to mellow the burn
• 🥚 Egg on top: A soft-boiled or fried egg adds richness and helps balance the spice
• 🍭 Sweet relief: A small amount of sugar or honey stirred in softens the edge without killing the flavor
• 🧈 Don’t drink water: Water spreads capsaicin. Milk, rice, or bread are more effective

How It Compares to Other Spicy Noodles

• 🔥 Paldo Volcano (this product): Extreme heat, savory chicken base, thick chewy noodles — Paldo’s most intense noodle
• 🌶️ Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy: Similar heat level, slightly different flavor profile — Buldak is more widely known but Volcano has a deeper savory base
• 🍜 Paldo Kokomen (also available): Paldo’s spicy chicken soup noodle — much milder, clean broth-based heat. A good starting point before attempting Volcano

Perfect For

• 🔥 Spice lovers: If you regularly eat Buldak or other extreme spicy noodles and want something different, Volcano is worth trying
• 🎥 The challenge: A popular spicy noodle challenge — eat without drinking anything for as long as possible. Have milk ready
