ONE JALAPEÑO. Keep this range in your head. Almost every Korean noodle compares back to it, and most of them land underneath.

ANSUNGTANGMYUN 안성탕면. Not a milder Shin Ramyun. A different dish — the soup is built on soybean paste, not chili.

SHIN RAMYUN 신라면. 2,900 SHU from 1986 to 2016, raised once in 2017. It got spicier — once, by about 17%.

BULDAK GOES UP IN THREES. Original 4,404, then 2x Spicy at 10,000, then 3x Haek — the hottest official version. Only the last is genuinely serrano.

CHAPAGHETTI 짜파게티. Black bean, savoury and slightly sweet. The packet everyone forgets when they are busy arguing about heat.
