Ok, everybody knows Andong is famous for its Jjimdalk. This steamy dish of chicken, glass noodles, and vegetables in a rich, spicy sauce has enchanted (or burned the tastebuds) of many a diner. But alas! It was hard to fit a plate of jjimdalk in your pocket . . . until now!

Look for Nonghyeop brand Andong Jjimdalk-flavored jumokbap in a convenience store near you! These jumeokbap of the samgak variety are flavored with a jjimdalk sauce and stuffed with a little bit of chicken, glass noodles, and carrot. A very little bit.

As you might expect, the flavor profile resembles its progenitor only in the most mild way. They’ve managed to capture a bit of the soy and sweetness, but spice is only suggested. The noodles, after sitting in the refrigerator case of the local 7-11 for a few days get a little mushy, and the carrot and chicken are so minuscule you’ll wonder if you’re just imagining them. It’s still a pretty decent tasting gimbap, and at a measly 700 won won’t bust anybody’s budget, but this will NOT satisfy your craving for real jjimdalk.
