British Cooks Try Korean Food & Cooking Methods!! Ft. JOLLY & Gabie Kook 

Imagine if Josh took the guys on a culinary tour of Korea... man. That would be one hell of a series.

Thanks for having us guys! Looking forward to the chaos of our Full English Breakfast battle on our channel tomorrow! 😅😂

This was so much fun! Is there anything better than sharing food you love with great people?!

When Josh’s actual wife is the expert, but he still brings his goofy ‘first wife’ so he doesn’t feel left out.🤣🤣🤣

I love how genuinely excited Gabie was when Jamie flipped it.

As a Korean who grew up in America, I really liked how... real this video was? These were real, humble, basic ingredients and dishes that I grew up with and still enjoy. Usually, when people feature Korean food, I feel like they go out of their way to show some really fancy Korean barbecues or they only choose pop culture foods or foods that are spicy when Korean food is sooooo much more than fancy kbbq, tteokbokki/dalgona, and kimchi. Korean food has so many flavors. I love that they went with something mild like ssamjang and something simple like sesame oil!! Koreans aren't eating kbbq every day and I love that this video showed pajeon and budaejigae. I love that she even used a mix for the pajeon because what a mood...... I can make my own batter from scratch but I still have some premade stuff in the pantry for when I'm feeling lazy. Just what an amazing and real collab. Some people might not think it's impressive and might think these things are really basic but this is so real 😭

Gabie is the manifestation of order, Ollie is the manifestation of chaos, and Josh is the thin strand of fraying sanity keeping it all together LOL

TW: I used to have an eating disorder and still struggle with disordered eating and Sorted, jolly, and Korean Englishman are the RU-vid channels I watch while I eat because they make food fun and allow me to get out of my head my thoughts about food. I’ve actually gone out to restaurants with my boyfriend given him a head phone put in a headphone and just watched one or both of these channels while eating in a restaurant bc it really does help get me to eat.

Having specialists of national cuisines on hand to demonstrate is genius. This format is a great introduction to world cooking. More countries please.

Gabie jumping in glee when Jamie flipped the jeon was so adorable.

I like how Gabby was genuinely impressed that Jamie actually managed to pull it off LMAO

I've never seen Ollie this calm and collected!

As a Korean that has grown up in the UK for the past 18 years, this video collab is a match made in heaven!

Sorted & Jolly. A perfect pairing. I literally have days where I binge watch Sorted, or Josh and Ollie. So this collab was fantastic. If they could get Rev. Chris to stop by on the next collab that would be fantastic. 😎

This very much mirrors my first experience with Korean food. My darling wife, then only my new girlfriend, brought me to her family's favorite joint nearly 21 years ago, and it was a combination of getting served in a family restaurant where they were friendly with the owner, and the incredible new flavors and textures I got introduced to, every bite was a complete seduction of my taste buds. Even the stuff I didn't care for or understand at the time, I've come to love with repeat exposure. It's worth note that the owner of the restaurant grandfathered me in with my wife's family immediately, she came over and talked to us often, when she found out this was my first experience with Korean food, she ran into the kitchen and cranked out a sample plate of off menu favorites, she spoiled me rotten and I fell in love. We ate there a TON before she closed that restaurant, we raised our kids in that restaurant eating delicious Korean dishes from the time they could eat real food. She was so good to us, her retirement was a melancholy celebration. As much as the food, the love was instantly intoxicating. I'm the family cook, and have learned a fair number of Korean recipes since then and I'll chase the quality of her dishes till I'm dust, happily.

I'm so glad they introduced Army Base stew because that whole recipe doesn't make sense but it's so good 🤣 Korean cuisine is definitely something that a chef, foodie, or spicy food lover will fall in love with.

did yall see how Ollie lit up when Jamie mentioned a carrot joke (albeit unsuccessfully?) in front of Josh, I could already see both Ollie and Jamie being a chaotic duo 😂

AHH! I've been a fan of both your channels for YEARS at this point, and finally my dream collaboration (after the Toast vid josh and ollie uploaded earlier this year) has finally come true!! So thrilled to see you diving into the world of Korean food, especially through Gabie, who is such an excellent cook and can teach so so many things about the cuisine. I really look forward to more collaborations between both channels, maybe a more in-depth cameo appearance on KoreanEnglishman..? thank you so much for this awesome episode!

Gabie's laugh is so contagious. I don't know why.

My jaw dropped when I saw the "Ft. JOLLY & Gabie Kook" in the title 😲 This finally happened ❤️ Ollie is really well behaved here haha I'd love to see more collabs 😍

lol I love how you can tell how long Josh and Ollie have been in Korea because both of them seemed to unconsciously turn away when they drank makgeolli 😂

Ollie should invite Sorted to the Jolly studio and make them try weird food he can buy on the internet 😼

I always love someone's first reaction to budaejiggae. The ingredients make absolutely no sense, but from that amalgamation comes something amazing.

This was a fun video. Just a small correction regarding Jay's comment about sesame oil. It is not a cooking oil. It has a very low smoke point, goes rancid quickly (keep in fridge), and is used to finish dishes or to add flavour to sauces.

Toasted sesame oil is such a game changer. I bought some to make bibimbap and now I use it for so many dishes, even if I’m just eating broccoli on rice. It tastes 100 times better if I drizzle some sesame oil on top. Also, tteok has such a satisfying texture and is really versatile too.

Barry guessing (almost) correctly is the character growth we needed 😂

14:32 The way Ollie turns away as he drinks is such a Korean thing. Been watching Korean TV through Hulu, Netflix, Viki, and other providers since 2009. I knew all of these foods, but this show really helps fill in the context that a native Korean would need to have explained. Thank you so much! Try massaging the toasted sesame oil into your burger prior to cooking some time, it's fabulous. Also, I love making a roux using a 50/50 mix of brown butter and toasted sesame oil. Those smoky, nutty notes lend an unbelievable amount of depth. Try it next time you're making a milk gravy or, as they call it in the American south, a sawmill gravy. Smashing stuff.

You can take Josh out of Korea but you can't take the Korea out of Josh. Look how he turns away as he sips his makgeolli @16:30 lol

This is the ideal "when two worlds collide" video. I've watched Sorted since I was 12 (10 years!) and have been learning Korean and watching Jolly/Korean Englishman for about 2 years now! This is an absolute dream.

My father threw everyone in my house for a loop when he threw a slice of American cheese in with the beef ramen noodle... and then I did the same and it was tasty.

My wife has been a fan of Sorted since it began. She said that she loves that Sorted is exploring more Korean Food... only she wished that this was done in Big Night In format where you can discover how some of the same ingredients that you already knew about.... Samjang, Gochujang, Soy bean paste, Chili flakes, sesame seed oil, mirin, soy sauce and fish sauce makes a myriad of all Korean food. (That's what real Korean food is about she says). She watches all your videos multiple times and she knows that you know Korean food. We hope that you get to explore it some more.

I wish Korean food was more widespread. It's so good. It should be everywhere.

A massive treat is also a massive understatement. Love the collab!

Jaime's having a really good day lol. Also, that american cheese trick will work with any cup/cooked ramen, preferably spicy. Pot noodle broth might be a bit starchy though

Today I tried Korean barbecue with soju for the first time - and it was incredibly tasty!😍😋🤯 It was my wanting since saw this video:) Now I’m looking forward to try pancakes with that rice wine😍😍😍😍 Thanks 🙏🏼 ☺️

Got into Korean food after discovering all the amazing Korean series on Netflix during the pandemic. They have such fantastic ingrediens and dishes. So glad to see more Korean food here on Sorted. I wish the street food here in Sweden would take som inspiration from South Korean street food.

Shin ramen with cheese slice is a match made in food heaven, I wish more people would give it a try before being scared away by the idea. I remember watching a lot of Korean street vendor videos, when I stumbled on the ramen vendors that was my first time seeing certain things added into ramen... Now cheese & egg are a staple in my ramen..

We deffo need a Pass it On, with at least Gabie, as special guest. (Like the Emma and Gaia special)

I spent years living in Seoul, and this was a nice flashback to all the amazing foods I've had. I appreciate the legit, no frills approach with authentic ingredients (minus the baked beans in the 부대찌개, but honestly, anything goes). But you're severely missing out of you haven't tried the classic comfort foods of jjajangmyeon 짜장면, with tangsuyuk탕수육 or jjamppong 짬뽕.

Please bring these 3 back more often. This was genuinely so much fun!

"If I got hungry every time it rained in the UK..." but... but I thought you did, Jamie XD also for Ebbers: try and get your hands on Milkis. It's a Korean soda that's basically fizzy milk and I'm _obsessed_ with the stuff

I need more sorted and jollibe videos! Just the crazy energy that Ollie gives in videos mixed with the crazy of the normals, and then Gabbie and Ben trying to cook, to finally Josh stuck in the middle. More please! Lol

I'm American, but live in Korea with my Korean husband and two kids. I've been here almost 10 years and cook predominantly Korean food for my family. It seems complicated in the beginning, but with practice, it's not too bad (I'm a so-so cook of Western food).

Ollie looking away when he drinks his makgeolli out of reflex is my favorite part

Josh is a true Korean when he turned away to drink the makgeoli out of respect for Sorted

I got into korean food after visiting my GF in Seoul during her exchange. Got completely hooked on it, started cooking korean regularly and using their taste profile in other dishes is also a game changer. The use of Sesame Oil as finisher is something I adopted for a lot of other recipes as well. You should really do a deep dive into korean dishes, there is a lot to be discovered.

The way Josh LITERALLY pushes in to get to the food Gabie makes is sweet and hilarious.

Anyone else craving korean pancakes after watching this 🤤

I craved korean green onion pancake and I didn't have any mix at the moment. So I used Bisquick mix and just added onion and garlic powder. It was soooooo good.

What an amazing collab! The jolly guys being so helpful with their insights, and gabie just radiating, ofc jamie, berry and ebbers brought it all togheter, loved it!

When I was a kid coming home from school, I almost always threw a slice of American cheese into my shrimp or chicken Raman. Who knew an entire country was beating me to it. It's surprisingly great.

Very happy to see more people eating more kinds of Korean food. We got so much to offer that I don't see many people here in the West know about. Especially happy to see Barry's reaction to budae jjigae. My friends have had similar reaction when I made it for them the first time.

Maybe we can get a Korean meal pack collab with Gabie…? 🥺

Best moment is the pan flip. That girl is so cute with her genuine delight

I love that we think of Asian food as this really complex thing that we have to mentally and physically prepare to tackle, but here they show us it can be ridiculously simple with phenominally outstanding results.

In the past, Koreans went on an outing with stoves and meat. They settled down in a scenic spot, and played by composing poems, singing, and dancing. When it's time to eat. They set fire to the stove they prepared and grilled meat and vegetables with various seasonings on it.Each family also grew vegetables such as lettuce, and ate rice or meat with them This way of grilling meat continues today, and that is Korean barbecue. My favorite Korean barbecue method is to grill pork belly on an iron pot lid. And additionally, makgeolli is the most murky liquor left at the bottom after making 'Cheongju,' a traditional Korean liquor. Nowadays, makgeolli is more popular in Korea than Cheongju. Thank you so much for the good video!

1. In some restaurants, they water down ssamjang by adding a bit (like half a teaspoon) of sesame oil for it to be smooth, almost like peanut butter consistency. 2. When I went to Myeondong, the streets smelled of sesame oil (in a good way). 3. It's an all-in-one dish, but I've never seen beans inside a budae jiggae. Also, I'm surprised that pretentious and cloud egg Barry hasn't seen or heard of cheese on ramen noodles. 4. I prefer makgeoli to soju. Good pick!

toasted sesame oil is a must for me too! So so aromatic - a perfect condiment for...a lot of dishes :D

Hey Sorted folks, I want to give feedback and I'm not sure where else to do that but here. I like a lot of your stuff and I'm glad you're successful. As of late the reaction-to-cooking ratio is leaning a lot more towards reacting than I like. The channel is of course not about me, but I may represent like minded folks who want to see and learn more about cooking, and don't care so much about what everybody thinks it tastes like. Some examples might be: How much prep work do the "normals" actually do for cooking battles? What goes on with the "food team" before a cooking battle? What does chef Ben cook for fun? What do you guys do with the leftovers from a show? Wishing you all the best, a fan.

What I love about all these is that, having followed your journey as a channel from the start and coming back years to see you guys....you have seriously grown your tastebuds! I remember how clueless y'all were, except for Ben about food and cooking. I love it! You guys are fabulous to watch and learn from.

@gabiekook is so sweet. @SORTEDfood should get her to come be a regular guest chef!!!

Kimchi ji-gae still blos my mind everytime. It’s just something that doesn’t make sense for me and always tastes incredible!

6:13 Of course I thought Josh would feed Ben ssam, but Josh ate it. For Koreans, this situation is a culture shock. :) I like the way Josh and Gabie introduce their ingredients and food as proper Korean names. Of the Korean sauces in the video, sesame oil and soy sauce would have been better if they were called proper nouns. It is a sauce used in many dishes in Korean food, and Chinese and Japanese products have different scents and tastes, so I think it should be used as a proper noun. - sesame oil 참기름 (cham gi reum) - soy sauce 간장 (ganjang) And although it was not introduced in the video, gim is one of the foods that everyone likes and is easy to eat in Korea. There are many Korean dishes using seaweed. Gim is made with seaweed, but unlike seaweed, it is as thin as paper, and it is delicious to eat as it is, and it is better to call it gim because the method of using it for cooking is different. - seaweed 김 (gim)

I’m glad that showed the recipe for ‘army base stew’ it’s literally the definition of throw 2$ food into a pot but it works.

Must say this episode rates in my all-time top 5, guys! I ventured onto the Korean Englishman's site last night to see what all the fuss was about and 2 hours later tore myself away as it was waaayyy past my bedtime! At work, we used to do a staff potluck every few months and one of my Korean co-workers made budae jiggae - blew our socks off! Someone mentioned in the comments about doing more "world cooking" - great idea, and I'd go a step further and suggest comparing similar dishes...e.g., dumplings from around the world (and if you have a Polish version, may I suggest uszka in barszcz, rather than the more commonly known pierogi!). Two thumbs up!

Yesssssssss been hoping for this since Ben and Barry visited 토스트! 🍞🍞🍞 It's so great that Gabie was able to be there too, not only for her incredible cooking expertise, but also since she has been a big Sorted fan for a long time, it's so cool you guys were able to meet! The Sorted boys have worked with the Yogscast, the Sidemen, and now JOLLY, I think all we need now is a Tom Scott collaboration and the ultimate British RU-vidr collection will be complete!

I feel so lucky to have tried all of these (minus veg dip part) in Korea. Korea is an amazing place and I can't wait to visit again.

Having taught ESL in South Korea for 5 years kimchee jigae became my comfort food. Delicious foods.

Now we need a Korean BBQ pass it on with these guests. That would be amazing!

For one a video where I recognized everything as a Korean! Glad people are getting introduced to makkeoli, I personally prefer it to soju even if the latter is more popular, even at KBBQ.

I honestly hope you guys and JOLLY all go to Korea at some point, like the High school students, and like Barney Artist and Guvna B. Those two series have been my faves of the Korean Englishman channel, and I would love to see Sorted go to Korea.

Korean food is amazing. They know how to bbq and all their food is very 'sharing' and comfortable.

Gabbie radiating for Jamie's flip made my day

When JOLLY takes the highschoolers to Korea they need to bring the SORTED team with them.

한국사람으로서 한국음식이 널리 알려져 기뻐요. 늘 먹고있는 음식이라 몰랐는데 이런 채널들을 보며 한국음식이 얼마나 건강하고 맛의 조화를 중요시하고 거기에 사람들과 함께 나눠 먹는 정겨움까지 있다는걸 새삼 느껴요.

Gabbie and jolly is the perfect persons to introduce you to korean cuisine, especially gabbie, because she’s not just korean, but a professional expert legend beautiful skilled and one of the best korean chef out there

THIS IS THE COLLAB I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Jolly x Sorted at the Korean toast restaurant was only a taste of the collaboration yet to come, and today's video has finally brought it to a new high for both channels! Great work, everybody!

I tried the Beyond Meat burgers the other week, as a meat-eater, I found them quite nice. It gave me an idea for a battle. How about we have the three guys try to create a meat-like dish with those plant-based substitutes.

'jang' means stored. The chili and soybean are stored in a big clay jar for over couple of years for slow fermentation.

I do wish you'd let Gabie talk more, as it's her culture. But thanks for sharing it all with us!

Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community! We were waiting for this COLLAB and here to learn 👏🏽

Ben's impatience to eat is everything. I'm surprised he's not trying to do a food tour of South Korea with the gang.

The collab we didn't know we needed. 🙂 Perhaps they should join KE in Korea, one time. 😉

I’m so glad to see and hear more from Gabie! Thanks for having them on your show!

Yes!!! More Korean cuisine please 🙏 the side dishes looked amazing. I love how all the “sauces” were used and that some of the modern history of Korean cuisine was explained. A bit unconventional but I dip my Doritos in gochujang and it’s delicious

Always love seeing the KoreanEnglishman/Jolly team collab with people!

We need a pass it on with jollie. Imagine ollie and baz in the same kitchen. OH THE CHAOS 🤣🤣

My parents have never been as proud of me as Gabie was of Jamie for landing that flip 🤣

Thanks to Korean Englishman, I've tried all of these products & now cook Korean dishes around twice a week. Just a pity we don't have H Mart in Ireland. Brilliant collab guys!

I've been waiting for this colab for such a long time. But never got around to asking either side to do so xD Been watching KEM, Jolly and Sorted for years now. Both beeing the reason I became a chef and making Korean my favorite cuisine :)

I have been waiting too loooooong for this collab. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Also for those who dont know, Josh and Ollie are the ones who started the Buldak ramen challenge! Theyre the ones who popularized that specific ramyun

This might be their best collab. Everything felt so homey and comfortable. Super approachable and it felt like everyone really got on and cared to explore the flavours together.

Love Korean cuisine and it's great to see the real deal on sorted!

FINALLY! Love both of your channels so much and was so excited to see you guys in their toast videos, and now I'm just thrilled that they're on your channel!

This is the Collab I have been waiting for. Two of my favorite channels together! I hope you do more in the future. 💕

Watching this made me realise how much i want to see a fusion battle, judged by two chefs of each of the respective cuisines

This is great, lovely to see JOLLY here! This gave me such good ideas to try with ingredients, easily found in supermarkets.

Last time yall did korean food I was disappointed you didn't collab with Gabie. Glad to see yall have rectified the problem.

Thank you very much for coming together. Both of these channels have provided me so enjoyment (especially since I spent a year in Korea and miss the food every day, and the boys from Sorted saved my sanity during Lockdown), and to see them together has been great. Hope you had fun Gabie.
