Loading... Please wait...Welcome to a well kept secret of Korea, the Island of Jeju! This beautiful island is often compared to Hawaii for its natural beauty and popularity with newlyweds. Your journey there begins over 400 years ago with the history of the Japchae sweet potato noodle stir fry. Dreamt up by a simple liege for a cooking contest, the dish not only won first prize, it impressed the king so thoroughly that he was immediately promoted to the equivalent of Secretary of Treasury as a reward for his culinary genius.
This easy to make kit has everything you need to create your destination dinner in Jeju, Korea. It will walk you through creating the savory soy and sesame noodles using the pre measured amounts of hard to find ingredients; introduce you to authentic Korean table settings; and teach you about the history of the destination and the dish itself. There is even a take and go shopping list for the required fresh ingredients. To make sure your meal is as amazing as the original we have even tossed in a mini chopping lesson and of course a bag for marinating.
As with every Kit you also receive our fun and informative trivia to enjoy with your dinner guest. A great way to inspire discussion and learning both with adults and children.
This is a savory dish, not spicy at all. Perfect for families with young children (who will love helping make the kit).
Serves 6 -? 8 adults (at least!)
Pre measured ingredients included in the kit: Sweet potato noodles, soy sauce, dark sesame oil, black pepper, dried shitake and wood ear mushrooms, salt, sugar.
Fresh ingredients you will need: carrots, green onions, yellow onion, beef, garlic, and green bell pepper (and any other seasonal vegetables you want to add).

I received Destination Dinners as a graduation gift. It made cooking interesting exotic dishes fun and easy. My favorite cuisine is Korean, so it was especially fun to make the Japchae Noodles. They came out delicious and tasted authentic. What's more is the customer service is personal, friendly, and fast.

This dish was incredibly yummy! The packaging was impeccable (I even saved the cute little containers) and the directions easy to follow. I loved all the cultural background on the dish that was provided - it really made it a fun night. I was lucky enough to have received the gift set with the tableware, which really made it a special and authentic experience, and left me great momentos of the experience. Super fun and original thing to do with friends and family, and I would recommend to anyone.
