Paldo Sweet & Spicy Octopus Stir-fried Noodle (어산 낙지볶음면 / 御膳火辣章魚風味乾拌麵) — 4 Pack

Sweet heat with a seafood kick. Paldo’s Sweet & Spicy Octopus Stir-fried Noodle is inspired by 낙지볶음 (nakji bokkeum) — the classic Korean spicy stir-fried octopus dish. Thick, chewy noodles tossed in a bold sauce that leads with a sweet, savory octopus flavor before building into a fiery, lingering heat. The sweetness balances the spice in a way that’s distinctly different from the pure chicken heat of Volcano — more complex, more seafood-forward, and deeply satisfying. Stir-fry format: drain most water, toss with sauce. No broth. 4-pack, 520g total (130g per pack). Made in Korea.

What Is Nakji Bokkeum (낙지볶음)?

Nakji bokkeum (낙지볶음) is one of Korea’s most beloved spicy dishes — small octopus stir-fried in a fiery, sweet-savory gochujang-based sauce with vegetables. It’s a staple of Korean pojangmacha (street food stalls) and a classic pairing with soju. The flavor is intensely savory, sweet, and spicy all at once — a more complex and seafood-rich spice profile than standard chicken-based spicy noodles. This instant noodle captures that same sweet-spicy-seafood character in a quick-cook stir-fry format.

How to Cook

1. Boil 500mL of water, add noodles and dried vegetable mix
2. Boil for 3 minutes 30 seconds
3. Drain most of the water, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot
4. Add the liquid sauce packet and stir on low heat for 30 seconds
5. 💡 Tip: Add green onion, onion, red pepper, garlic, and a drizzle of sesame oil for a more complete nakji bokkeum experience
