Creamy, spicy, cheesy! This recipe combines it all. Grab that cheese buldak ramen pack sitting in your pantry and turn it into the best lunch possible. Wurstel sausage and melted mozzarella cheese go perfectly with these instant noodles. Ready in 10 MINUTES!
What is buldak ramen?
Buldak bokkeum myeon are very popular instant noodles in Korea, they’re known to be one of the spiciest ramyeon in Korea. The term buldak literally means fire chicken while bokkeum myeon means stir-fried noodles. These noodles have been all over social media featuring spicy noodle challenges and mukbang.
There are quite a lot of variations of these buldak noodles such as carbonara, curry, toppoki, jajjang, etc. But in this recipe, we are using the CHEESE BULDAK RAMEN (yellow pack) to make some creamy and extra cheesy noodles with mozzarella and wurstel sausage. FLAVORS GUARANTEED and ready in 10 MINUTES!
This is one of my go-to lunch when I’m at home. Ok, instant noodles aren’t the healthiest meal of all, so I usually have it twice a week at most. I like to alternate between some of my recipes such as my Carbonara Buldak Ramen (super creamy!) or my Buldak Ramen Bibim Guksu Style (my fav in summer).
Where can I buy buldak ramen?
You will find them at any Korean grocery store. Many Chinese grocery stores will also sell them in their instant noodles aisle.

Which ingredients do I need to make some extra cheesy buldak ramen?
- onion – slice a small onion
- green onion – chop some green onions, I like to cook the white part and keep the green part for garnish
- wurstel sausage – this is my favorite sausage to have with instant noodles. Of course, you can substitute it with any sausage or meat you like.
- 2 packs buldak ramen – this recipe caters to 2 persons. Use the cheese buldak ramen (yellow pack)
- full cream – adding cream will not only make your ramen super creamy, it will also dilute the spiciness of these buldak noodles.
- 1 spicy sauce packet – for 2 portions, I used 1 packet of spicy sauce only but for those who enjoy extreme spiciness, feel free to add the second packet.
- 2 seasoning powder packets – mix the seasoning with the cream and the spicy sauce.
- mozzarella cheese – add a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of your noodles, cover your pan with a lid and cook for a few minutes just the time that the mozzarella melts.
- water – add 2 tbsp water around your noodles before steaming the mozzarella so that the bottom of your pan doesn’t burn.
- cooking oil

Extra Cheese Korean Buldak Ramen
Ingredients
- 1 small onion , sliced
- 1 green onion , chopped (or 2 small green onions)
- 1 würstel sausage , sliced
- 2 packs cheese buldak ramen
- 125 ml cream
- 1 spicy sauce packet (from the ramen)
- 2 seasoning powder packets (from the ramen)
- 60 g mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 2 tbsp water
- cooking oil
Instructions
- Chop onion, green onion and sausage.
- In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, cook the ramen for 4 minutes (1 minute less than the recommended 5 minutes, as they will continue cooking later when steaming with the mozzarella).
- In a pan, heat some cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 1 minute.
- Then, add the white part of the green onion and the sliced sausage. Cook for another minute.
- Pour in the cream and stir in the spicy sauce packet and both seasoning powder packets. (Note 1). I use 1 packet of spicy sauce for 2 servings of ramen, but if you prefer extra heat, you can add more from the second spicy sauce packet.
- Stir well to combine the cream, spicy sauce, and seasoning powders.
- Turn off the heat. Add the cooked ramen to the pan, tossing them in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Place the shredded mozzarella in the center of the pan, on top of the ramen. Pour 2 tablespoons of water around the edges of the pan to prevent the ramen from burning while the cheese melts. Cover the pan with a lid, turn the heat back on to medium, and cook until the mozzarella is fully melted (about 2 minutes).
- Sprinkle the green part of the green onions on top. Serve hot.
Notes
- For spicier ramen, add the second spicy sauce packet. If you’re only making one pack of ramen, use the entire spicy sauce packet. If you prefer less spicy ramen, reduce the amount of spicy sauce added.
