Look no further because The Daebak Company has compiled a list below of the latest and greatest Spicy South Korean snacks for those brave enough to handle the heat! 

Top 8 Spicy Korean Snacks

1.) Fire Chicken Stir-Fry Ramyeon (Ramen)

This ramyeon is one of the world's most famous Korean spicy snacks and is where the Korean Fire Noodle Challenge started. If you haven't heard of the Korean Fire Noodle Challenge, it's when daring spice lovers decided to finish a package of Samyang Korean Fire Noodles in 2014, kicking off a challenge for foodies and spicy food enthusiasts worldwide. 

To date, millions of YouTubers, influencers, and mukbangers have taken on the challenge, with many eating multiple packages at once. Do you dare to take on the Korean Fire Noodle Challenge? We recommend having a glass of milk on hand if you do. ;) You can also learn how to upgrade your spicy Korean noodles here.

2.) Hot and Spicy Tteokbokki

Tteokbokki is one of the most famous Korean snacks in Korean culture today. You may have seen some of your favorite Hallyu stars enjoying this popular Korean snack online, such as Kpop idols and Kdrama actors. 

If you are scared to take on the Korean Fire Noodle Challenge, this is a better, milder version of the famous spicy noodle, as the chewy rice cakes help to subdue the spice level.

3.) Spicy Tteokbokki Almonds

You’ve probably never tried spicy tteokbokki almonds before, but don’t worry. You definitely won’t regret choosing this for your next snack choice as part of your Korean goodies list. These almonds are perfect for satisfying your small spicy Korean snack cravings and a light snack on the go, whether at work or on your next summer travels!

4.) Buldak Jjamppong

Jjamppong is another famous Korean snack consisting of a delectable seafood/pork based noodle soup. This is a perfect choice for sharing with friends and family, but you might end up eating all the spicy Korean snacks yourself after getting the first bite.

5.) Spicy Beef Flavored Pretzels

This South Korean snack may be a new flavor worldwide, but with the combination of beef flavoring, these pretzels are a must try Korean snack for spicy food lovers.

6.) Fire Chicken Flavored Kimchi

Next on our list is a traditional Korean snack with a twist. Kimchi is probably the #1 traditional Korean dish served at nearly any meal, and it can be eaten with rice, noodles, or on its own.

However, this kimchi is fire chicken flavored, with lots of savory and spicy flavorings pairing perfectly with rice or any other noodles on this list.

7.) Bibim Spicy Noodles

These noodles are slightly different from the other Korean goodies on this list as they are Bibim noodles, a dish usually served cold and made with thin wheat flour noodles. Bibim noodles are the perfect choice for a spicy summer meal!

8.) Sweet and Spicy Grilled Squid Leg

Last but certainly not least, we have Sweet and Spicy Grilled Squid Leg, a popular Korean snack. The spicy Korean snacks are perfect for a day on the beach, watching a sports game, or drinking beer with friends. Highly recommended for people who love a little spice in their seafood.
