Korean School Lunch Tray Maker

Most Korean schools serve a hot lunch on a divided stainless steel tray. A typical tray has steamed rice or a rice dish, a soup or stew, kimchi and two more side dishes (a meat or fish dish and a vegetable), plus milk and sometimes fruit, a yogurt drink or a small dessert. Curry rice, jjajang rice, tteokbokki and sweet crispy chicken days are the ones students remember.

Tap a compartment, then tap a food to drop it in. Rice dishes only go in the rice well, soups in the round well, and any of the 22 side dishes in the three top wells. Milk and dessert sit beside the tray. Tap "Surprise me" if you want a random lunch to start from.

Each dish lists the US Big 9 allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame) that a common school recipe would contain. Soy sauce adds soy and wheat, kimchi usually has fish sauce and salted shrimp, and breaded cutlets have egg, milk and wheat. These are examples for learning, not a safety label. Always check the real menu if someone has a food allergy.

Every dish is tagged with the MyPlate food groups it adds: grains, protein, vegetables, fruits and dairy. The card tells you which of the five groups your tray is missing, for example "This tray has no fruit". It does not count portions or calories and it is not a health score.

Yes, it is free with no sign-up. The worksheet PDF has a full-size empty lunch tray with name and date lines, spots for milk and dessert, and a food group checklist on page 1, and food cut-outs (rice and soup, side dishes, milk and dessert) on pages 2 to 4. Choose line art for coloring or full color. It is A4, so on US Letter paper print with "Fit to page".

The square image is 1080×1080 and the story image is 1080×1920 PNG. Both show the school name and date, your tray, the menu with allergens, the food group dots and a closing line. On a phone, "Share" sends the story image straight to Instagram, Messages and other apps.

No. The school name, date and menu stay in this browser tab and are never uploaded. Refreshing the page resets the tray, so save the image when you like it.
