Fire Noodle Spring Rolls

What are Fire Noodle Spring Rolls?

Fire Noodle Spring Rolls are TikTok’s latest viral trend consisting of rice paper, wrapped around the popular Korean Fire Noodles – Buldak Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen.

It may look and sound simple, but the chewy texture of these spicy noodle pockets are something you’ve never experienced before. Don’t forget to dip it in my spicy Sriracha Aioli for a lovely creaminess and to moisten the noodles up.

Rice paper, in general, has been trending lately for its versatility and Fire Noodles have been caught in the rice paper craze. Tasty as is, or wrap it with some cheddar cheese and a fried egg for a touch of cheesiness and protein. These Fire Noodle Spring Rolls are chewy on chewy!

Now let’s get Fire Noodle Spring Roll-ing!

What are Fire Noodles?

Fire noodles are a nickname given for the popular Korean instant noodles by Samyang – Buldak Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen. They gained popularity through social media via fire noodle challenges, and have since expanded their flavours and product line. They are now a staple spicy instant noodle in many households around the world.

What do Fire Noodles taste like?

Fire noodles are thicker, chewier, and much spicier than most instant noodle brands. They are prepared dry (no broth) and have a strong kick for even those most well-versed in spicy foods. All the noodles are chicken flavoured, so they have a slight chicken bouillon taste.

What kind of Fire Noodles should I use?

I recommend that you use the Buldak Hot Chicken flavour.

Note: Do not get the 2x spicy version if it is your first time trying these noodles (you have been warned hehe).

Are there less spicy fire noodles?

Yes, if you aren’t the biggest fan of spice, you can opt for the Buldak Carbonara or Cheese flavours. They are still slightly spicy, but the addition of dairy helps dull down the spice.

Can I use a different brand of instant ramen?

Of course! You can use any brand you’d like, just make sure it’s the dried noodle variety and not a soup-based instant ramen.

I have used Mi Goreng Instant Fried Noodles by Indomie, and they have a mild spice but are packed with a lovely stir fried flavour.

What kind of eggs should I use?

I use quail eggs instead of your average chicken eggs.

Though they are expensive for the tiny amount of egg you get, they fit perfectly in these Fire Noodle Spring Rolls. I say that because a fried chicken egg would physically cover all the noodles in the roll – thus ruining the presentation, but a quail egg leaves just enough room to let the noodles and cheese shine.

Where can I purchase quail eggs?

I bought a carton with a dozen quail eggs in the eggs section of my local large chain supermarket.

They look exotic and rare but clear cartons of them have been appearing in stores all across North America – keep an eye out!

Can I wrap these Fire Noodles with other ingredients?

Yes! I sometimes like to add some thinly sliced cumber, carrots, and green onion for a nice, refreshing crunch. I’ve also tried adding in some sliced avocado and spam. You can also add different protein, such as cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu. The choices are only limited by your imagination.

What is Rice Paper?

What do Fire Noodle Spring Rolls taste like?

When you first take a bite you get hit with that pillowy and chewy texture of the rice paper, then you chew a little and you get even more chewiness from the noodles.

The spice will smack you in the face like Will Smith, but the cheese and egg yolk helps tone the spice down, with the additional dip of the spicy Sriracha Aioli, toning it down tremendously. The sriracha adds a hint of garlic-chili flavour, and the creaminess of the mayo gives an unctuous mouthfeel.
