What is Buldak Carbonara Sauce?
Buldak Carbonara Sauce is a packaged Korean-style sauce associated with fiery Buldak noodles. It combines a creamy, cheese-like flavour with pronounced chilli heat, coating noodles thickly rather than tasting like a light pasta sauce. It is usually stirred through hot noodles; you can also use a little with rice, chicken or vegetables for a quick meal.
It is high in sodium and provides more carbohydrates than protein, so a modest amount can go a long way. If you prefer less heat, mix it with a little milk or cooking cream, or balance it with vegetables and an egg.
