Contactless Golden Holiday... What Is My Way to Enjoy It with 'Meal Kits'?

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As the golden holidays begin in October, more people are spending time in various ways such as fishing, camping, and home parties. Accordingly, meal kits are gaining attention as a convenient and delicious way to wrap up the holidays after enjoying various activities.

◆ Warm Soup Menus for Urban Fishermen = For example, Chae Seon Dang Lunchbox & Salad & Meal Kit 24’s Gulrim Mandu Jeongol is a meal kit menu that allows you to enjoy gulrim mandu (rolled dumplings) in a hot pot, which is difficult to make at home. The dumplings are packed so full that the skin is barely noticeable, and combined with Chae Seon Dang’s special broth, you can enjoy a refreshing and mild taste. Fresh vegetables and kalguksu noodles are included for a hearty meal. You can adjust the spiciness to your preference for a spicy broth.

My Chef’s ‘Mille-feuille Nabe’ is a product that combines clean broth, tender beef, and fresh vegetables such as bok choy, napa cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms, and is considered one of My Chef’s best products. It especially includes two special sauces unique to My Chef?a yuzu ponzu sauce that cuts the greasiness and a sweet and sour chili sauce?along with kalguksu noodles, making it a satisfying meal.

◆ Perfect Snacks and Hangover Menus for Campers = Autumn, when the heat subsides, is the best season for camping. These days, ‘Meokping’ (eating and drinking camping) is trending, and warm meal kits that are suitable both as snacks and for hangover relief are essential camping items.

Chae Seon Dang Lunchbox & Salad & Meal Kit 24’s ‘Beef Ugeoji Hangover Soup’ focuses on home-cooked and Korean food. The broth, made by simmering beef bones for a long time, is mild and refreshing. It generously includes various vegetables, including ugeoji (outer leaves of napa cabbage). It also contains plenty of beef for both taste and nutrition. It is designed as a 3-serving meal for a hearty experience. You can add more vegetables and meat according to your preference for a richer and more delicious meal.

GS25’s ‘Usamgyeop Budae Jjigae’ is a menu released in collaboration with Tasty Nine, highlighting convenience suitable for convenience store environments. It takes about 7 minutes from preparation to completion, requires no prior ingredient preparation or separate cooking containers, and can be cooked both in a microwave and over direct heat.

◆ Special Party Menus for Party Lovers = For home parties, people tend to choose atmospheric and unique menus different from everyday meals. Mono Kitchen’s ‘Lobster Garlic Butter Cheese Grill KIT’ consists of pre-cooked lobster, garlic butter sauce, natural cheese, and green beans. A recipe card is provided so even cooking beginners can easily prepare it using an air fryer. The lobster, filled with meat not only in the body but also in the claws, is pre-cooked and flash-frozen to shorten cooking time, allowing you to enjoy fresh and chewy taste.

Fresh Easy’s ‘Pavilion Steak Platter’ is characterized by a generous composition including lamb ribs, beef chuck flap tail steak, and plump shrimp, making it delicious for all ages.

It also provides a variety of vegetable garnishes with diverse tastes and textures, allowing for perfect plating.

◆ Global Menus for Travelers Missing Travel = As overseas travel has become difficult, more people are enjoying domestic travel. When you miss traveling abroad, soothe your longing with meal kits that capture exotic flavors. They can serve as consolation for not being able to travel overseas.
