Jjamppong Stir-Fried Pork Chinese-Style Lunchbox Price & Features

Seven-Eleven didn’t do a Black-and-White Chef collaboration in Season 1. In Season 2 as well, it released menus with individual chefs instead of collaborating with Black-and-White Chef. This time, it introduced a full-meal lunchbox built around Chinese-style stir-fried dishes that match Chef Hudukjuk’s identity. The price is KRW 5,500.

Nutrition Facts & Ingredients

This menu includes two types of Chinese-style meat dishes. One is stir-fried pork, and the other is Chinese-style chicken (roasted chicken). The total weight is 378g, with 745kcal. Sodium is at 87% of the daily recommended intake. The portion and calories seem reasonable for the price. However, the sodium is on the high side. Since it’s a Chinese-style lunchbox, it may taste a bit salty. Haha.

However, when I checked the ingredient list to see what went into the sauces, they were labeled simply as Sauce 1, Sauce 2, Sauce 3, and so on. So it’s hard to tell exactly what sauces they used. It looks like the only way is to try it and find out.

Now, let’s quickly check what’s inside. This is a full-meal lunchbox with five items total: the main jjamppong stir-fried pork, roasted chicken, and three side dishes.

Main: Jjamppong Stir-Fried Pork & Roasted Chicken

Since the collaborating chef is a Chinese-cuisine chef, the lineup seems designed to match that concept as much as possible. Still, if you look closely, you can tell what’s what. However, from the visuals alone, it’s not easy to figure out the main items at a glance. Haha.

As mentioned earlier, the ingredient list only shows Sauce 1, Sauce 2, and so on. So you won’t know the exact flavor until you try it. The jjamppong stir-fried pork sounds like it was stir-fried with chili flakes. Meanwhile, the roasted chicken seems to use a Chinese-style soy sauce. It also looks like they thickened it slightly with a starch slurry.

Sides: Zha Cai, Egg Stir-Fry, Fried Meatball

The remaining sides are zha cai, an egg-and-vegetable stir-fry, and two items that are a bit confusing. They look like either fried meatballs or mini pork cutlets. Overall, it’s a pretty standard lineup. So it probably won’t be too polarizing.

That said, the main dishes seem like they could be divisive. So you’ll only know after trying them. I’m hoping it tastes like a nice Korean-and-Chinese fusion.

Key features of Seven-Eleven’s Chinese-style lunchbox

Jjamppong Stir-Fried Pork Chinese-Style Lunchbox Taste Test

Let’s dig in. The two meat dishes are the stars here, so we should try those first. I started with the jjamppong stir-fried pork.

Features: wok-char aroma, scallion oil, and oyster sauce

Jjamppong Stir-Fried Pork: Spicy and Salty Jjamppong Stock Flavor

Since it’s called Chinese-style jjamppong stir-fried pork, I took a small bite first. You can definitely taste that jjamppong stock base. Compared with typical Korean spicy stir-fried pork, the heat is quite strong. It’s also very salty. Honestly, I wonder if it would have worked better as “Chinese-style stir-fried pork” with doubanjiang. Either way, it will clearly be a love-it-or-hate-it flavor.

Roasted Chicken: Lots of Umami, but Still Very Salty

The roasted chicken has the texture and flavor of a simple Chinese-style soy sauce mixed with dark soy sauce and a starch slurry. It’s rich and savory, with plenty of umami. The problem is that it’s too salty. Neither meat portion is large, but even one bite makes you want more rice.

Side Dishes and Overall Balance

The combo of egg-and-vegetable stir-fry and zha cai was decent. However, those are salty too. You could say the seasoning is pretty strong. The mains are already salty, and the sides are salty as well. So the flavor really lingers as you eat. The rice may look like a lot, but some people might actually find it not enough.

What makes a convenience-store lunchbox broadly appealing

You can think of it as a mini pork cutlet. More precisely, it feels like a fried meatball with a sweet-and-spicy fried chicken-style glaze. It works best as a simple side to eat along with the rest.

Overall Verdict

Personally, I liked the unique Chinese-style concept. Still, I was disappointed that the seasoning was too strong overall. The jjamppong stir-fried pork had a distinctive flavor thanks to the jjamppong stock base. Meanwhile, the roasted chicken delivered plenty of umami with its Chinese-style soy base. As you’d expect from a Chef Hudukjuk collaboration built around a Chinese-food concept, the lineup was planned fairly well.

However, both main dishes are quite salty, and the side dishes are heavily seasoned too. The rice may also feel insufficient compared with the intensity of the flavors. If you like bold, salty foods, it could work for you. Overall, though, it’s a menu that will split opinions. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Chinese-style lunchboxes and prefers punchy flavors.
