What is “jeukseokbap”?
전자레인지로 만드는 초간단 김치볶음밥 레시피
B1 Korean listening practice · Standard Korean · Picked for people who know some
즉석밥 (jeukseokbap) is the Korean term for microwavable instant rice, the Hetbahn-style plastic cup of pre-cooked rice that heats in 90 seconds. CJ launched the original Hetbahn in 1996, and jeukseokbap has since become a kitchen staple in Korean homes, dorms, and convenience stores. Young Koreans cook with it the way many Americans use rotisserie chicken: as the easy starting point for a meal.
This clip is a microwave-only kimchi fried rice recipe. The cook tosses 즉석밥 with kimchi, an egg, and 김가루 (seaweed flakes), all done in the rice cup itself to skip washing dishes. Young-Korean cooking content is full of these jeukseokbap hacks.
