Feel free to remove\/add\/replace dishes so it makes sense for you and your guests. I\u2019ve included an <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/gatk8cihtan3qem\">editable menu<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in this guide to make it your own!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing Your Time<\/strong>&#8211; These movie nights can take a lot of time to prepare, especially if you plan on doing everything yourself. If you are planning a culinary movie night with a group, I suggest doing a potluck style. Have each person contribute a dish or two, and it\u2019ll be very manageable. If you are planning on preparing everything yourself, here are some things I\u2019ve learned while doing these often:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make A To-Do List<\/strong>&#8211; I can\u2019t stress this enough! It\u2019s very easy to forget simple things like opening a bottle of prosecco before you start the movie so you aren\u2019t fumbling with the seal before serving. I have done this so many times! Your to-do list should include absolutely everything you need to do leading up to pressing play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start Early<\/strong>&#8211; I learned this after a few very long days of trying to cook, prepare, and host all on the same day. Anything that can be done in advance should be done during the days leading up to the movie night. Some examples include pre-mixing cocktails, making desserts and other foods like soup that hold up well in the refrigerator, and pre-making any handmade decorations. Hosting is stressful enough without having to make a multi-course meal in one day, so get as much done as possible before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Pausing<\/strong>&#8211; The question I get asked the most is \u201cDo you pause the movie to bring out the next dish?\u201d. It\u2019s important to me that I don\u2019t disrupt the flow of the movie, so I do not pause. It\u2019s also important to me to enjoy the movie with my guests. Setting up everything I need before the movie helps me bring out each dish efficiently. The setup usually includes plating each dish and storing it in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is quickly microwave it before serving. I set out any garnish or decoration on my kitchen counter so it\u2019s easily accessible. I even pour the cocktails into their cups and store them in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is add ice and any finishing touches before serving. Always think about how you can do the bare minimum during the film. I always include the setup in my to-do list as well, so I don\u2019t forget about any aspect of the preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional<\/strong>&#8211; If your budget permits, I recommend ordering food that you may not be confident in cooking or food that may take a lot of time to cook. I do this occasionally, and it helps cut down the preparation time and supports local businesses. Win Win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Menu<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I have created a free, editable, and printable menu for all the dishes I served for this Culinary Movie Night! Feel free to change it to what will work for you and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/gatk8cihtan3qem\">Click Here!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/gatk8cihtan3qem\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu-1.png 483w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu-1-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Cues<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">These are the cues I used during the movie night so I knew when I had to get the next dish ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Please note<\/strong>: Each cue describes a scene that happens a few minutes before I have to serve the dish. It does not describe the scene the dish is based on. Some people get confused with that, so I thought I should specify. Because the cues only give you a few minutes to prepare the dish, it&#8217;s <strong>very important<\/strong> to have everything cooked and set up before the film starts. Review the &#8220;<strong>Tips<\/strong>&#8221; section above for ways to make this seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I often get asked why I don&#8217;t use time stamps to keep track of when to serve the next dish and the simple answer is, I don&#8217;t find those helpful. If I used timestamps, I would have to have a separate timer going or keep disrupting the movie to check the timestamp. It makes much more sense to have cues to indicate when the next scene is about to happen. This allows me to enjoy watching the film with my guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Below is the link to the cues I used. This document is editable, so you can make updates if you decide to take out or change dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/s638u8btbyqmcr3\">Click Here!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/s638u8btbyqmcr3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cues-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cues-1.png 482w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cues-1-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Recipes<\/summary>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Carb Loading<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This movie has SOOOOOOOO much food, so I had to narrow down the options for this scene to the three major ones: Ramyeon, Shrimp Crackers, and Gimbap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kpop-food-scene-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1848\" style=\"width:543px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kpop-food-scene-copy.jpg 880w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kpop-food-scene-copy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kpop-food-scene-copy-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ramyeon<\/strong>&#8211; I used the Shin Beef Bone Broth cup for this scene.

You&#8217;ll notice in my video that the labels were a bit too small, so I enlarged them for you all so they fit the cup better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to follow the instructions on the package to make the Ramyeon. You can also add ground beef and American cheese to Zoeys to match the American label on hers. I made them all the same to make my life easier since there is a lot to do to set up this movie night.

Stir often. When the Better Than Bouillon is completely dissolved, reduce the heat and let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evenly distribute the broth amongst all three noodle cups with the noodles. Cover the cups so the steam gets trapped, and wait 3 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix the noodles after 3 minutes, and it&#8217;s ready to serve!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Noodles get soggy if they sit in the broth for too long, so serve them soon after making the noodles. This is the first course of the movie, but you can make the broth ahead of time and just reheat it in the saucepan before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gimbap<\/strong>&#8211; I purchased this dish pre-made from my local Korean Grocery Store, H-Mart. If you have a local Asian grocery store or a Korean Restaurant near you, I suggest buying it premade because this dish is labor-intensive.

For example, I made the milk tea (decaf) beforehand and stored it in my refrigerator. That way, I could quickly pour it into my cute little bear cups. Side note, those bear cups are used honey containers that I cleaned out. SO CUTE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can make ahead is the brown sugar syrup with the pearls.  Then store them in your refrigerator until you are ready to start assembling this tray (assemble before you start the movie because this scene comes early on in the film). If you make the pearls beforehand, it is <strong>VERY IMPORTANT<\/strong> that you reheat them in a small saucepan. They harden in the refrigerator, and you have to reheat them on the stove to get that chewy texture again. <strong>Do not reheat in the microwave. It will hear the pearls more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zhangcatherine.com\/strawberry-bingsu\/\">Strawberry Bingsu Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong>&#8211; This is the recipe I used. It&#8217;s super easy, but it takes time to prepare. You need to freeze the sweet milk mixture the night before. If you are making the strawberry syrup, it&#8217;s a good idea to make it the day before, to save time the day of movie night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I blended the frozen milk and stored it in the freezer until it was time to set up the tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Setting Up The Tray<\/strong>&#8211; Because this scene happens right after the first scene, I had this tray set up before starting the movie.

Make sure you get a grape-flavored one for the mixed drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Healer Han&#8217;s Tonic<\/strong>&#8211; I bought juice packets from H-Mart. Make sure it&#8217;s grape flavored. If you can&#8217;t find ones that work, a Capri-Sun will do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abby on the Cob<\/strong>&#8211; I bought these corn ribs from Trader Joe&#8217;s, but regular corn on the cob will work too. I taped Abby&#8217;s cutout onto toothpicks and stuck them on top of the corn ribs to resemble his abs. LOL! I also used some of the popcorn from the couch scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mixed Drink<\/strong>&#8211; This drink was absolutely delicious, and it only took three ingredients! I used <strong>grape soju<\/strong>, a <strong>grape juice<\/strong> pouch from H-Mart (see below), and <strong>grape soda<\/strong> (see below). I did not measure this drink. To make it, just add ice to your glass, then fill 1\/4 of the glass with soju, 1\/2 of the glass with the juice pouch, and top the last 1\/4 of the glass with the soda.

I premixed this in a mason jar and stored it in my refrigerator. When it was time to serve, I gave the jar another shake and split the liquid into two small glasses. Fill the rest of the glasses with prosecco. I recommend opening the bottle before the movie starts so you don&#8217;t have to waste time with the cork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the garnish, I used candied orange slices from Trader Joe&#8217;s.
