There is one thing you missed. The heat pack can be reused once. It's not as hot as the first time, so it's good to warm the cake. Put almond cake and chocolate candy in the heat pack. And put a little water on the small side. Put the heat pack back into the sand-colored package and lock the zipper. After the meal, you can enjoy a soft almond cake with chocolate paste for dessert. In winter, however, soldiers give up soft cakes and use heat packs as hand heaters. And do not try to find Menu 1. It tastes the same. And the reason why there is no beverage powder is because the ROK military is trying to distribute canned drinks to soldiers as often as possible.
at first I thought it's sad they probably eat better than many people, but then I remembered they(including you) deserve it for sacrificing part of your life so others can enjoy theirs.
I’m south korean and I served in the ROK army for about two years. That was one of my favorite MREs. It brings me back the memory of old days. Thank you Steve.
How did selection work? Did everyone get a fair rotation of the options decided from up on high, or was it first come first served in a big box, or something?
Kit Vitae First come, first served. 20 years old Korean men must receive physical examination. Then, they are classified into active-duty, public service, exemption. If you are classified in active-duty, you should apply branches(infantry, armed, and so on...) within period. When you apply branches, it is first come first served. I hope this will help... sorry for not being good at English. :)
While the bombs are falling in the background; this guy is sitting in the trench telling his fellow mates the chocolate frosting on the almond cake is the way to go...
I remember having this on a train as a PV2, all drill sergeants yelling at us.. Thank you Steve for taking us Korean Soldiers back to good old memories. FYI I served as a KATUSA in US Military garrison in South Korea. It was a great honor to serve and contribute to the ROKUS alliance!
I have been to R.O.K. three times. Once when on a operation (U.S. Marine Corps) Twice just for fun, and visiting friends. I true love the Korea and the Korean people. In all my travels, the best of people Korean !
I'm glad that you liked our military MRE. I have eaten that kind of MRE every training season. Actually we put the almond cake in the bag while heating other things. It makes cake more softer. But we have never thought about eating chocolate balls likes that way. Next time I'll try that recipe.
Listening while I work, glancing up occasionally to see what Steve is so perfectly describing :D Really cool to see a heating element that doesn't require water to activate too !
I'm not going to lie, after seeing the season preview for the interview show Hot Ones. I wish Steve got a chance to get on there, because that would be great seeing steve eat super spicy hot wings well being interviewed and adding his own charm to the show.
As a Korean Army vet, I must say that our MRE got so much better! I still remember my first MRE experience on the train right after my boot camp back in 2009. The expiration date was within a week, so it was a very, very old stock. Half of us threw it up after first sip lmao
I really loved this ration when I was in navy in 2012. When the sea weather is bad enough to shut down the kitchen of ship, captain orders to give these. I used to get extra and hide it somewhere only I know inside of ship. And enjoyed my night shift with this little thing.
@@bruceleealmighty Thanks. Yeah. umm that pound cake was not pleased by old officers. They used to trade that part with cigarettes or other items. Most of young conscripted sailors like me loved it so much. It was one of the only joyful moments of long term sail
A Korean fan here. I found your channel a week ago, and I was thinking about sending you a Korean MRE... but it looks like you already got them! Your review reminded me of my service days and if you didn't speak English in the videos I could've said a Korean guy was trying the ration out! The way you had it was absolutely on point, even melting the chocolate!! Keep it up
A lot of website sell them. You might want to try searching for "전투식량" (MRE in Korean) on search engines like Naver. Not a lot of websites have English navigation, unfortunately, but you might find what you are looking for here (globalsearch.11st.co.kr/SearchPrdEnAction.tmall?method=getTotalSearchSeller&targetTab=T&isGnb=Y&prdType=&category=&cmd=&pageSize=&lCtgrNo=&mCtgrNo=&sCtgrNo=&dCtgrNo=&fromACK=&semanticFromGNB=&gnbTag=TO&schFrom=&tagetTabNm=T&adUrl=&adKwdTrcNo=&kwd=mre)
I am a Korean man who was in the army two years ago. Thank you for reviewing our country's MRE. I was surprised to know how to eat the most delicious. It's really tasteless to eat separately.
Loved South Korea each and every time I visited back in the 80s. Looking forward with great love to my half-Korean grandchild due in July 2018. Great video of great chow. Semper fidelis!
Wow, you really know how to eat. Adding MnM's on almond cakes lol. That's definitely Korean army field style. My sergeant taught us while in combat field training period and everybody ate like that way.
You little BEAUTY....nothing better than watching a Steve review with a fresh brew of coffee instant in the morning .. Big Thumbs Up from Australia mate
Nice! I read that coffee instant part and just got a smile thinking about it. Tonight I am having instant tea with whitener from a 2003 British ORP. Actually I just finished it. Darn, that was my last one. Greetings from Sunny Florida man! Take care & see you around
Steve, love your reviews, this looks like a great ration. Love the heater. As a Vietnam vet I have a special place in my heart for ROKs, Aussies and Kiwis. TRUE FRIENDS that stood by us. They'll never have to buy their own drinks if I'm around.
wow my grandpa was a vietnam vet. he always told how good his fellow american, kiwi soldiers were to him back then. He always missed the special camaraderie!
I’m in the US Army currently in ROK and have this menu in my locker from some ROK Soldiers we traded with. Man this video made me want to grab mine and open it up right now and eat it!
Served armored cav with a few ROKs; generally speaking, they're some tough SOBs. edit* It was Suk Song, one of the ROKs who turned me on to kimchi. Been eating it for better than 40 years, love that stuff.
Kimchi is a spicy, fermented variable-vegetable delicacy in the Korean Peninsula. There's two main ways of preparing it. One is fermentation over a period of time(the longer, the better like cheese and booze), the other is done with vinegar(lower-quality, the taste may tinge your taste buds). It's relatively-common all over the place AND in some parts of the United States as well depending on where you go.
every south korean men are just super impressed with the chocolate spread knowledge lol as someone who grew up in canada this was quite a learning experience tho
When we were doing training with the ROK Marines we always tried to trade any flavor MRE we had on hand, sometimes multiple, to get our hands on just one of these.
I love how you mix ALL of the food components together to intertwine each flavor to enhance and work off of each portion. Some might cringe at having everything mixed together, preferring to eat separately but as my Dad (RIP, I miss you, Dad) used to say, it (the food) all goes to the same spot anyway so why not live on the edge. Thanks again, Steve, for your presentation. It was not only "cool" but "nice," too. I almost forgot....that Flameless heater seems to be the top of the pile WRT heating whatever food you'll be heating plus it comes with the proper amount of water to activate it saving the soldier (or trekkers) from having to use part of their hydration liquids to activate it. All other MRE manufacturers should take note. The ONLY potential downside I can imagine is if the heater was somehow damaged and the liquid came into contact with other parts of the meal. Then again, that is why each component is individually wrapped, right?!? Thanks again. Overnout.
Keep in mind Kimchi (Fried Kimchi, in particular, uses aged Kimchi which has a more sour and pungent smell than a fresh or short aged Kimchi) is very much an acquired taste to a Western palate. None of my friends liked it the first time they tried it, some caught up and most gave up. Much respects to Steve for actually finishing the dish even after mixing in the whole packet of fried Kimchi. To be honest, I couldn't even finish that MRE when I was face to face with it LOL.
A SNL skit, with Bill Hader as Steve1989, Cecily and Aidy as lunch ladies, Kate and Pete as hungry kids who don't have time for the descriptions, Kenan as the much-put-upon cafeteria manager and Beck as the principal. I want this!
Steve, I just want to let you know I enjoyed the show! My girlfriend even bought me a tray that says "let's get this out on a tray" . I love watching you do what you love to do keep it up!
Why can't i stop watching these? Every time i starting thinking "why am i watching this guy eat?" I'll see another video of him eating 100 year old spam and im hooked right back in.
I just finished serving in the ROK Army in 2022 and I had this exact MRE pack more than I would like to admit. While no one in my unit would have preferred it over meals prepped by the cooks, it would be nice to have in actual wartime scenarios. My favorite part of the MRE pack is the almond cake. I have a very "western" palate due to my personal experiences living in NZ and US in my life, so I will take bland wheat-y flavors over kimchi and spices any-day lmao.
Served with forward observation in 1st Artillery brgd and this video brings back so many memories. I can tell that this guy knows how to eat this thing.
Love to South Korea from USA! Wonderful people with a wonderful culture. I have loved kimchi ever since I tried it for the first time a couple years back lol.
I had a very nice Korean neighbor for about 6 years. She let me make kimchee with her one fall and I was told we could add many other vegetables. Well I emptied my garden and brought stuff over and she saw the burpless cucumbers I had harvested and made my very favorite kimchee. Cucumber! It was the same spice rub/mix as regular kimchee but she cut the cucumbers in a cross cross almost all the way down a chunk but left held together at the end(geez I can type a lot but not sure if explaining properly.) But just stuff the peppers and salt mix into the centers of the cut cucumber and pack tight into the little square kimchee boxes she had. It has a plunger in it to keep everything under the developing brine. She moved away with her husband to Arizona but I sure miss that nice lady.
That ration did look interesting and once all the packets were added together then the flavor alone would boost moral and a sense of pleasure. You’d need something like this when in the field. 😉
Bro Why don't ya enroll for ROK ARMY? Oh my god. 8:37 you eat like real ROK soldier haha. We very welcome you. THANKS FOR REVIEWING ROKA MRE AND COOL VIDS. I'm a big fan of you : )
I would be more than happy to eat those ready to eat meals and mre's. My sister is enlisted in the Marines and when she got out of bootcamp she brought me a massive pack of maybe 200 or so MRE's with irish coffee and all that and I loved it all! I gained a fair bit of weight though having one of those mre's a day XD but totally worth it. I loved how convenient it was to just pick one up and dispose of when I was done :D I went camping last year and went to Bass Pro and got meals and I love all those meal prep stuff it's always interesting to see how they taste. This one in the video looks amazing! I want it!
I love your videos. The sad thing for me was I never had time to cook up like you have. I usually ALWAYS ate my Aussie ration packs cold on the move. It was a luxury to have it hot or even warm. The life of combat corps I guess. Keep up the good work!.

It is my actual birthday and as a korean who lives in Canada, this makes me thinking of kimchi fried rice.. and drooling hard 🤤 it's been long since i had one!
Thanks @Stever1989MREinfo for the reviews & info. I was in the US Army from 96-04 so I haven’t has some of the newer MRE & never had the pleasure of eating a foreign force’s rations. Some of them look badass. When I first came into the service they still have plenty of stock of the okd MREs. They were dark chocolate brown bags and the menu was pretty poor. E.G. the “Four Fingers of Death” MRE which was 4 hot dogs. Midway through my enlistment brown MREs finally started to disappear and we got the new tan colored MREs with a better menu. Cheese tortellini and Pasta with Mixed Veggies were the only two vegetarian MREs available. It’s crazy how much us Combat Arms solders ate in the field. We got K-Rations from the cooks for breakfast, 1-2 MREs for lunch and hot chow cooked for us by the cooks. Had to be around 5K calories daily. Heh. I was a 19Kilo M1A1/A2 Tanker. You would have loved being on a tank. We had 2-3 cases of MREs at any given time. Some people hated them, some toerated them & others loved them. I dug MREs. We’d often bet $ on anyone who could eat the 2 crackers without water in 60 seconds. Dont know if the crackers have changed but it is an impossible feat. The crackers will dry your mouth and suck away any moisture. You’d get sick of them but would strangely miss them and in the field when you were really hungry and chow was bad, they were a Godsend. Keep up the great work & thanks again. Ur vids crack me up. 👍😀👏
The photos at the beginning of the video are from the Ro OKMC(ROK marines corps) It's Korea in the winter of 2015. I already discharged ROK marines 1years ago but at that time I remember that I would used to change MRE with US marines They really love that Korean MRE. because taste is very good lol
Hey count dankula accidentally got your 100k play button but never got his could someone make sure this is corrected soon he would appreciate it very much
OMG!! This is the very ration that Ive had more than 10 times? I guess during my service in ROK army. It is....not Good....lol. But somehow it looks good through ur clip! Just wanted to leave this comment cuz I really didnt expect to see this haha Just so you know, unlike what u said from the clip, me and my collegues used to put sponge cake into the heating bag while we were having rice and enjoyed the cake while it was still hot. That is the only good thing I remember haha
민재킴 taste is different for everyone, maybe you didnt like it since its worse than good korean food but his sense of taste still likes it, kinda how i as a german do like kimchi even if its not perfectly prepared simply because its nothing i eat too often and something i can use together with different spices for the main course to change up german food, anything that contains sourkraut (basically kimchi with way less seasoning and thus sour instead of spicy and made from european cabbage) can taste really nice and different that way

Keep in mind Kimchi (Fried Kimchi, in particular, uses aged Kimchi which has a more sour and pungent smell than a fresh or short aged Kimchi) is very much an acquired taste to a Western palate. None of my friends liked it the first time they tried it, some caught up and most gave up. Much respects to Steve for actually finishing the dish even after mixing in the whole packet of fried Kimchi.
To be honest, I couldn't even finish that MRE when I was face to face with it LOL.
I Love Kimchi !
The only American thing I will do....
Is Kimchi on a Bratwurst.....
Oh heaven with a good beer(bier).

Is it just me, or would Steve be a kick-ass school cafeteria worker?
Hey kids, let’s get this on your tray.... 👍 nice!
I can see it now, "Come back tomorrow kids for something new, or old" "Nice"
Yes he would.
Omg, yes
A SNL skit, with Bill Hader as Steve1989, Cecily and Aidy as lunch ladies, Kate and Pete as hungry kids who don't have time for the descriptions, Kenan as the much-put-upon cafeteria manager and Beck as the principal. I want this!
Nothing makes my day more then when he says "Alright let's get this out on to a tray. Nice M'kay." I freaking love it
Steve: we got the mre from Ko-
Koreans: **intensifies**

Been looking forward to the modern Korean rations. They're fantastic.
Steve, I just want to let you know I enjoyed the show! My girlfriend even bought me a tray that says "let's get this out on a tray" . I love watching you do what you love to do keep it up!
Steve, I love what you do for us the people so we don't have to! (oh wait, wrong channel.) Nice!!
i envy ur ability to try different foods and truly identify the taste

I believe this is one of my favorite MREs so far. It made me feel hungry.
Amazing job, South Korea.
Why can't i stop watching these? Every time i starting thinking "why am i watching this guy eat?" I'll see another video of him eating 100 year old spam and im hooked right back in.

Steve upload. Grab my snacks, kick back and watch! Nice!
Now that's how it's done! Not bad!
👍👍👍👍
I just finished serving in the ROK Army in 2022 and I had this exact MRE pack more than I would like to admit. While no one in my unit would have preferred it over meals prepped by the cooks, it would be nice to have in actual wartime scenarios.
My favorite part of the MRE pack is the almond cake. I have a very "western" palate due to my personal experiences living in NZ and US in my life, so I will take bland wheat-y flavors over kimchi and spices any-day lmao.
Served with forward observation in 1st Artillery brgd and this video brings back so many memories. I can tell that this guy knows how to eat this thing.
When Steve's GF brings him to her home..
Steve: What is for dinner?
GF: MREs.
Steve: Nice!
Lets put it onto tray!
Nice!
Nice, mkay

@Roborav Nice m'kay
Nice, thanks for the regular uploads
Hey you're welcome TopList, I was glad to be able to get this out before the month's end. Got 2 more that are almost complete.
well let's get them out on to a tray
Love to South Korea from USA! Wonderful people with a wonderful culture. I have loved kimchi ever since I tried it for the first time a couple years back lol.
I had a very nice Korean neighbor for about 6 years.
She let me make kimchee with her one fall and I was told we could add many other vegetables.
Well I emptied my garden and brought stuff over and she saw the burpless cucumbers I had harvested and made my very favorite kimchee. Cucumber!
It was the same spice rub/mix as regular kimchee but she cut the cucumbers in a cross cross almost all the way down a chunk but left held together at the end(geez I can type a lot but not sure if explaining properly.)
But just stuff the peppers and salt mix into the centers of the cut cucumber and pack tight into the little square kimchee boxes she had. It has a plunger in it to keep everything under the developing brine.
She moved away with her husband to Arizona but I sure miss that nice lady.
That ration did look interesting and once all the packets were added together then the flavor alone would boost moral and a sense of pleasure. You’d need something like this when in the field. 😉
“Aight so let’s put this paper tray inside the main part of the tray... “
“Nice”
Idk why but that part got me so hard
Trayception
They had us in the first half
Best way to mix everything and end up with BiBimbop
Wow~I ate this when I was in Navy...The taste was not that good for me lol Anyway, thanks for reviewing Korean MRE, Steve. :) 고마워요!
I've seen your rations from WW2 and it's helped are family with the loss of are lost one who was killed in France 1944 thank you Steve

Greetings from South Korea! Looks good. I could eat this for lunch.
I would be more than happy to eat those ready to eat meals and mre's. My sister is enlisted in the Marines and when she got out of bootcamp she brought me a massive pack of maybe 200 or so MRE's with irish coffee and all that and I loved it all! I gained a fair bit of weight though having one of those mre's a day XD but totally worth it. I loved how convenient it was to just pick one up and dispose of when I was done :D I went camping last year and went to Bass Pro and got meals and I love all those meal prep stuff it's always interesting to see how they taste. This one in the video looks amazing! I want it!
Don't be an Chump, bro. Just don't. Bet his sister could kick your ass into next week...and you'd deserve it.
@@christiansmith2730 Considering he is like twelve, I imagine a 15 year old girl could kick his ass. XD
How the fuck do you just bring 200 MRE back
@Alexis VersaNa
I love your videos. The sad thing for me was I never had time to cook up like you have. I usually ALWAYS ate my Aussie ration packs cold on the move. It was a luxury to have it hot or even warm. The life of combat corps I guess. Keep up the good work!.
Stir fried kimchi can be added to the main course to add some flavor. It's quite conventional way to eat it.

Watching one of your MRE reviews is like taking a Valium. Thanks Steve.
Two MRE reviews?!?! Is it my birthday??
Ransomware Sucks Today's my birthday too! What an awesome coincidence that Steve uploaded twice today. Gonna treat myself to a chicken sandwich and watch these before bed!
Vince O now i want a chicken sandwich happy birthday 😉
It is my actual birthday and as a korean who lives in Canada, this makes me thinking of kimchi fried rice.. and drooling hard 🤤 it's been long since i had one!
doesn't he usually upload in pairs?
Yeah chicken sounds good, especially if the fat is only slightly rancid, I'm gonna go in for another bite
Thanks @Stever1989MREinfo for the reviews & info. I was in the US Army from 96-04 so I haven’t has some of the newer MRE & never had the pleasure of eating a foreign force’s rations. Some of them look badass.
When I first came into the service they still have plenty of stock of the okd MREs. They were dark chocolate brown bags and the menu was pretty poor. E.G. the “Four Fingers of Death” MRE which was 4 hot dogs. Midway through my enlistment brown MREs finally started to disappear and we got the new tan colored MREs with a better menu. Cheese tortellini and Pasta with Mixed Veggies were the only two vegetarian MREs available. It’s crazy how much us Combat Arms solders ate in the field. We got K-Rations from the cooks for breakfast, 1-2 MREs for lunch and hot chow cooked for us by the cooks. Had to be around 5K calories daily. Heh.
I was a 19Kilo M1A1/A2 Tanker. You would have loved being on a tank. We had 2-3 cases of MREs at any given time. Some people hated them, some toerated them & others loved them. I dug MREs. We’d often bet $ on anyone who could eat the 2 crackers without water in 60 seconds. Dont know if the crackers have changed but it is an impossible feat. The crackers will dry your mouth and suck away any moisture. You’d get sick of them but would strangely miss them and in the field when you were really hungry and chow was bad, they were a Godsend.
Keep up the great work & thanks again. Ur vids crack me up. 👍😀👏
Nothing beats watching Steve eat MREs while lying down in bed on a rainy day.
That sounds pretty relaxing.
The melted chocolate, a mind blowing idea!!
Damn I should have figured out when i was serving the army
The photos at the beginning of the video are from the Ro
OKMC(ROK marines corps) It's Korea in the winter of 2015. I already discharged ROK marines 1years ago but at that time I remember that I would used to change MRE with US marines They really love that Korean MRE.
because taste is very good lol

WHY THE HELL AM I SO ADDICTED TO THIS MAN AND HIS MRE'S
That’s a clean burning heater I tell ya hwat.
Hey count dankula accidentally got your 100k play button but never got his could someone make sure this is corrected soon he would appreciate it very much
OMG!! This is the very ration that Ive had more than 10 times? I guess during my service in ROK army. It is....not Good....lol. But somehow it looks good through ur clip! Just wanted to leave this comment cuz I really didnt expect to see this haha
Just so you know, unlike what u said from the clip, me and my collegues used to put sponge cake into the heating bag while we were having rice and enjoyed the cake while it was still hot. That is the only good thing I remember haha
민재킴 taste is different for everyone, maybe you didnt like it since its worse than good korean food but his sense of taste still likes it, kinda how i as a german do like kimchi even if its not perfectly prepared simply because its nothing i eat too often and something i can use together with different spices for the main course to change up german food, anything that contains sourkraut (basically kimchi with way less seasoning and thus sour instead of spicy and made from european cabbage) can taste really nice and different that way
pretty cool man. interesting to watch as a Korean-American
Glad you were able to get your hands on a korean mre. Thanks for the experience lol
Steve always gets me with that "Nice! Mkay."
특공대 출신인데 군생활 중에 4-8번 정도 먹었는데 먹을 때 마다 웬만한 짬밥보다 맛있게 처먹었다 개추억이다 근데 초코알 녹여서 파운드케이크에 발라먹는건 처음본다 왐마..
아니 이걸 왜 모름? 선임들이 개빠진거 아님?
온갖 훈련들하면서 7일내내 전식만 먹은 적도 있음. 진짜 처음에는 너무 맛있어서 짬밥대신 나왔으면 했는데 이제는 보기만해도 물리고 절대 안먹음
저도 이거 진짜 맛있게 먹었어요...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 훈련나가서 안먹는 애들꺼 받아서 꽁쳐놓고 짬 맛없을떄 하나씩 까먹었었죠....추억
이 전투식량은 진짜 맛있었다.. 훈련 후에 남은거나 유통기한때매 먹으라고 나온거 가져가서 중간중간에 먹었는데... 또 먹고싶은데 서울 어디 가서 구해야한다니.. 회사로 전화해보니 따로 팔진 않는다 하고 ㅠ 개먹고싶음
나 전역하기 3일전인가 이거 출시한다고 난리였었는데 ㅋㅋㅋ 나는 운좋으면 따뜻한물에 건조볶음밥 불려먹었심.. 캠핑갈때마다 그냥 찬물만 부어둬도 먹을수있어서 종종 가져갔는데.. 삶이너무바쁘노
Alright, let's get Steve added to my subscriptions... Nice!
Nice!
You know what? I had ate bad ROK MRE like no heater in 2010 but this one looks good dogh! So much improved! Thank you for sharing lol
