On the 6th, a customer is purchasing the Paldo Hankki instant meal kit at the convenience store CU.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] CU announced on the 6th that it will launch the ‘Paldo Hankki Boiling Meal Kit’ series. The Paldo Hankki Boiling Meal Kit series includes four types: Uijeongbu-style Budae Jjigae, Gangneung-style Sundubu Jjigae, Jongno-style Doenjang Jjigae, and Busan-style Banban Sundae Guk, designed to easily recreate the representative soup flavors of Korea’s eight provinces at home.

The Uijeongbu-style Budae Jjigae consists of washed and trimmed vegetables, sausage, ham, ramen noodles, and cheese. The Gangneung-style Sundubu Jjigae contains refreshing clam broth and soft Korean sundubu (soft tofu). The Jongno-style Doenjang Jjigae includes various ingredients such as enoki mushrooms, chili peppers, and tofu, along with a special sauce that provides a savory and clean taste. The Busan-style Banban Sundae Gukbap is a product featuring rich beef bone broth and a half-and-half combination of chewy sundae (Korean blood sausage) and chive sundae with a clean flavor.

All products are convenient to prepare by simply adding water to the container and cooking directly on a stove or in a microwave. The pure aluminum containers used are safe for direct use on fire or in microwaves, making them ideal not only for single-person households lacking cooking tools but also for outdoor activities such as camping and pension stays. CU is holding an event until the end of this month, offering a free Hetbahn (instant cooked rice) to all customers who purchase any product from the Paldo Hankki Boiling Meal Kit series to enjoy with their meal.

A BGF Retail official said, “We expect the demand for meal kits that can be easily prepared at home to continue growing even after daily life returns to normal,” adding, “We plan to expand the product lineup to include soups, side dishes, and steaks so that customers can conveniently purchase a variety of meal kits anytime.”
