I never understood the love behind Samyang. Still, it was ubiquitous throughout my two years of NS. After returning from an outfield exercise, Samyang instant noodles were the sinful pick-me-up my friends needed. Alas, as I couldn’t stomach its devilish heat, I could only watch enviously as those around me slurped down these fiery snacks.
So if you’re like my friends and Samyang’s explosive heat is no kick for you, you’ll be glad to hear that you can now get Samyang Hot Chicken Gyoza Dumpling in Singapore!
You can get these dumplings in the frozen food section of select NTUC FairPrice outlets, at $9.70 a bag. They’re also halal-certified!
The dumplings are easy to prepare. All you need to do is to cook them for six minutes in boiling water and pop them in your mouth for a fiery bite. Alternatively, for a crunchier texture, you can air-fry the dumplings instead.
These dumplings greet you with the same tongue-numbing burn that Samyang has earned a fearsome reputation for. However, many fans have also commented that its spiciness pales in comparison to the instant noodles.
Aside from the gyoza, you can also get your hands on Samyang tteokbokki at FairPrice, for $4.50! Known as Hot Chicken Tteokbokki Carbonara Flavour, this pairs rice cakes with a creamy, spicy sauce. It’s available in a single serve bowl as well.
Just like Cup Noodles, the preparation is pretty straightforward as well:
All that’s left to do is to pour a glass of milk and brace for the sweat-inducing heat.
If you’re wondering what you can do with it, check out our one-pot Samyang Mac & Cheese recipe. It’s pretty easy to whip up, even for an amateur cook like me, and you can look forward to a superb fusion of fiery and creamy flavours.Â
