One of my favorite cheat meals is Korean fried chicken. It pairs so well with beer, and there's a Korean word for fried chicken and beer combo, Chimaek. Nothing beats freshly fried chicken in K-town, but when the weather's bad, it's better to stay home and indulge at home. 

Bibigo's Korean-style Crunchy Chicken kit is a satisfying alternative to Korean fried chicken, and when prepared according to the cooking instructions, it tastes pretty dang good. 

Cooked in the oven, the chicken is crispy outside and soft on the inside. 

This chicken dish makes an amazing entree by itself, but if you're extra hungry, it tastes wonderful over rice or as salad toppers.

These are hands down my favorite. I suggest cooking them in the air fryer, and they're the perfect dessert or sweet treat - crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside.

This is so yummy and tastes better than Jjajangmyeon from most Korean-Chinese restaurants. 

This Jjajangmyeon meal kit is made by Lee Yeon Bok, a renowned South Korea chef known for his expertise in Chinese cuisine. With decades of experience, he has become a beloved figure in South Korea's culinary scene, particularly for his modern take on Chinese dishes. And this kit does not disappoint. 

Following the instructions, the noodles are prepared to perfection, and there is a good amount of vegetables and meat bits. I sometimes add more pork or beef (depending on the type of protein I crave) to make a meal more protein-rich and filling. SO GOOD.

Dumplings! 

Bibigo dumplings are hands down the tastiest dumplings you’ll find at most Asian markets. The flavor is just on point—perfectly seasoned with a juicy filling, and the wrapper has the right thickness that holds everything together without being too doughy. Whether you steam them or pan-fry, they always come out super delicious. The pork and vegetable ones are a personal favorite, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any flavor. Definitely worth grabbing a bag next time you're at the market and keeping it in the freezer.
