The food authorities said the instant ramen contained such high capsaicin levels consumers could be poisoned.

Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.

Denmark’s food agency issued the recall and warning on Tuesday, urging consumers to abandon the product.

It’s unknown if any specific incidents have prompted the Danish authorities into taking action.

    I know right, they’re my favorite specifically because theyre not just spicy but delicious too! Especially the cheese one.

      I’ve had a couple of the flavours and the cheese one (with an extra slice of American cheese stirred in, if you’re feeling cheesy), the classic one, and the habanero lime ones were my favourite so far.

        Habanero lime is sooo good. The jjajang and the cream carbonara are also great.

        I think a lot of people cook them wrong though and maybe that’s why they don’t think they taste good. It’s really important that you add the 1/4 cup water (remain 8 tbsp!) with the sauce packet at the end and then stir fry it until it’s thick again, this usually takes me about 2 or 3 extra minutes on med-high.

        Sometimes I add cream cheese and a little mozzarella to the black packet, and/or a single egg near the end.

          Personally I just cook the noodles, drain, and then add the sauce without cooking it further.

          Maybe I should try it the way you said though!

          They could also just be making it as a regular instant ramen soup, in which case I can imagine feeling like there’s no flavour other than the heat.
