    There is actually the same term in English — "retort pouch". But I think it's more of an industry term here in the US, not very well-known.

    Looks like its the same in Japan, that foreign food is "transformed" into something more like the main people's taste. In Germany many dishes are also "germanised" to the taste of Germans. I don't like that. If I want to it Thai, I want eat Thai. If I want to eat Indian, I want to eat Indian. If I want to eat Korean, I want to eat Korean. Not a "germanised" version of it. But it's hard to find a restaurant that doesn't do that.

    I'm not Korean but the bibimbap rice didn't looked right, it looked more like sweet sour style… The butter chicken looked nice though. Can't wait to see what you try next.

    Convenience foods are so nice to have around for those days where your tired or just feeling a little under the weather. At least you've narrowed down a few rice bowls to maybe keep on hand just in case! ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ˜Š

    Fun review, guys! These all looked very convenient and tasty.
    I like to use instant meals like these as a base for a quick, but more nutritious meal. To a vegetarian/vegan instant rice or noodle meal (Annie Chun's brand in the U.S.), I'll add a few left over cooked vegetables or some quickly stir fried fresh veggies. It improves the taste, nutrition, and adds freshness and texture. Of course, you could also add left over meat or seafood. ๐Ÿ˜Šโคโค

    Very interesting! In Germany the average size of a perfect portion is considered to be around 400 grams. Ready made meals for the microwave hover around this mark, while frozen pizza is around 20% lighter, perhaps for size reasons (and the higher amount of calories, maybe?!).
    Thank you guys for sharing!

    For long-life room temp food, the chicken in the oyakodon is processed in a way that will succeed for long shelf-life in room temp, so the texture will be like canned meat such as tuna or canned chicken, thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re rather flaky and overcooked. Itโ€™s normal for those type of long-shelf-life room temp food.

    New video! It's cold outside here on the east coast USA, time to relax n watch some Tabieats in bed. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

    Add an egg and more korean pepper paste and sesame oil to the bi bim bap. All looks good, wish we had this in America.

    Try using Dawn dish soap if you can get it on the food stains on the shirt. Just wet the spot on the shirt and put a small amount and lightly rub it in. then wash the shirt like normal. Dawn can get out tons of food stains out of clothing.
