The Jinny’s Kitchen 서진이네 team flies to Bacalar in Mexico to see if Korean street food will fit the palate of the locals. A fun twist to the original “Youn’s Kitchen” and “Youn’s Stay”, the team is now lead by Lee Seo Jin as the new boss, Jung Yu Mi as the new executive, Park Seo Jun as the head of the kitchen and the interns Choi Woo Shik and Kim Tae Hyung.

As you watch Jinny’s Kitchen, you’ll get intrigued by the taste of South Korean street food if you haven’t tried any but if you have previously tried it before, you are probably craving it while watching the show. In case you need a list of their dishes, here they are:

Kimbap

A non-spicy dish that’s also a favorite from this show is the “Kimbap” prepared by Jung Yumi. Kimbap (also known as Gimbap) is a seaweed rice roll filled with vegetables only (for vegetarians) and might also come with variety of meat, egg or ham. Kimbap can also dipped to variety of sauces like the ones featured on the show.

Ramyun

Ramyun (a.k.a Ramyeon) refers to the huge options of instant noodles that South Korea has to offer. These noodles come in wide array of flavors and with numerous options for the level of spiciness. They typically add egg, pork or beef cuts, vegetables or seafood to make it more delicious.

Korean Style Friend Chicken

We’ve known KFC as a chicken brand but it also stands for “Korean Fried Chicken”. Koreans are serious with their fried chicken and their flavors so it’s a must-try! Normally, Korean fried chicken are double-fried for extra crunchiness and served with variety of dipping sauces.

Spicy Instant Noodles “Hellamyeon”

Spicy instant noodles are a staple in Korean cuisine, known for their fiery and robust flavors. Brands like Samyang have gained international popularity for their extremely spicy noodles.

These noodles often come with a spicy sauce or powder that adds a kick to the dish. They used the same brand in Jinny’s Kitchen but they added cheese and corn for additional flavor and texture. Then on, they called it “Hellamyeon.”

Tteokbokki

Tteokbokki is a popular Korean street food consisting of chewy rice cakes (tteok) coated in a sweet and spicy gochujang (red chili paste) sauce. It is often served with fish cakes and boiled eggs. Tteokbokki has a comforting and satisfying taste, making it a favorite among locals.

Chibap (Chicken Toppings on Rice Meal)

An innovative meal coming from the left-over fried chicken, the birth of Jinny’s Kitchen rice meal came to life. Chibap is a dish that features chicken toppings served on a bed of rice.

The chicken can be prepared in various ways, such as grilled, fried, or stir-fried. The dish is then often accompanied by a flavorful sauce or seasoning, and it provides a delicious combination of protein and rice.

These Korean dishes showcase the diverse and delicious range of flavors in Korean cuisine, blending savory, sweet, and spicy elements to create unique and satisfying meals and they are also the dishes that made us crave as we watch Jinny’s Kitchen. Which among them would you want to have today?
