Veteran Korean here (I am actually Korean born in Korea who now lives in the US). The Soju @1:14 that particular brand uses potatoes to ferment and make alcohol not rice. Actually most cheaper Soju brands do not use rice as it is more expensive. But traditionally Soju were made from rice. Other than that... everything was pretty spot on. I was really impressed at putting meat on top of the veggie so they don't overcook! You know your KBBQ.
If you followed my Korean dad's example, just lean over your food and shovel it in quickly without talking, and then tell me all the ways I disappoint him when you're done.
This is fucking perfect. Our dads are probably related. There are days I try to finish eating first and try to leave with an excuse only to be told to sit the fuck down and get lectured on for an hour or two.
as a fellow latino i always bring my coworkers and friends (of all races) out to eat and they LOVE it. Just tell your friends it's like a buffet of steak/meat that is a flat price and you can drink (though that's per bottle). At first people aren't sure about it but once you go with some people they instantly love the experience and tell other people about it. Before you know it you start a tradition me and my coworkers go AT LEAST once a month.. and yes we go to karaoke after sometimes to drink and sing if we aren't too full haha
I'm Korean who grew up in Los Angeles. Some of my best friends are Mexicans. Going to taco trucks and Korean bbq places were our thing since childhood.
Great guide for beginners. Just a couple of things I should point out: 1) Soju isn't a rice-based alcohol. It used to be in the past, but modern soju is usually made from sweet potatoes or tapioca. Rice soju still exists, but the cheap and mass-produced ones you usually find in KBBQ places are definitely not the case. 2) Cheers in Korean may sound like "kombe" but it's actually "konbe."
Oh, I am taking Sake. I know, Korea and Japan not friendly. They have history, but my liqueur store only had 2 brands of Sake and no Soju. Two to zero wins, Sake it is.
Generally, salt meat doesn't wrap. Just eat meat with salt or oil. korean usually use ssamjang or red pepper paste to make ssam. If you put side dishes in a wrap, you don't put chili-bean paste sauce in (or put in a little). Because it's salty. And if vegetables are big enough to eat at a mouthful, cut them and make small wrap. Ssam(wrap) is delicious because all the flavors are in harmony with one bite. That's why we want you to eat it in one bite sized pieces. Don't make it big. hard to cut it. There's no way to wrap it up, but don't pretend it's weird. I am sorry if I am offended because I am not good at English.
You just put it on the hot stone and flip it til it cooks. You then can dip the meat in sauce, put the meat inside a piece of lettuce, and add whatever toppings are available. It’s so delicious.👍🏻
When many foreigners experience Korean Ssam, it is similar to taco, so they take a few bites as if eating a taco. However, the way to eat Ssam is to eat it in one bite, so it is true that Koreans feel very regrettable whenever they see foreigners eating Ssam like a taco.
most korean ppl eat with chopped garlic inside lettuce with pork bbq,,,cuz garlic make it hot but, more delicious and hlep the digestion. and greatly help ur health and blood circulation.
When I was in the Philippines last year, marami namang mura dyan. Samgyeopsalamat is like 9 USD/person? Yeah the meat is not something you'll say as high class, but it's a pretty decent place to have your Korean BBQ.
Wow that restaurants meat looks like amazing quality!!! Seems very pricey tho. Ive been two two different korean bbq restaurants with the grill on the table... theyve never given me sauce!! For sure the sides but not the side sauces! Im going to ask next time I visit.
I'm going out to get Korean BBQ for the first time and was looking for what I should get and stumbled upon this video. That girl is cute and then the fact that she had a Def Leppard shirt on made me fall in love. And then the girl at the end had the original Appetite shirt on. These girls are cool. Hopefully the BBQ to go still hits the mark!
normally I am already half full after eating all the side dishes... LOL but nice tips! I will try one in Melbourne this weekend and will see how it goes!
Tivamoo, Just an FYI: Koreans don't eat the side dishes alone. They're meant to eat with rice or in the lettuce wraps (all in ONE bite) since most are pretty salty.
actually... kombe is 건배(koun-be), 건(koun) means dry(or empty) and 배(be) means cup, glass, vessel whatever... kounbe means dry your glass or empty your glass... also, many korean use a word 위하여(wi-ha-yo) this means (for ~) in many situation for health , for success , for family ... etc. so, many korean shorten that just say "wi-ha-yo"
I always go to unlimited Korean bbq places. There's a place that has an all pork set, pork and beef set, etc. It's the best. I always get Bulgogi and Yangyum Buljib
What she said is not right. If you have 6 people, you should order for 6 people. Dont rip off the restaurant. They get unlimited side dishes. Its like going to buffet for 6 people but paying for 4 people. Its not right
3:03 BEEF BACON?! A Japanese/Korean BBQ place opened 100m from my front door. It smells SO good when i walk past. So i am here to learn basics and then Im off for some table cooked meats.
My Korean family doesn't eat much mung bean sprouts, we eat soy bean sprouts (kung namul). That fermented bean sauce looked more like samjang, which is a mix of said sauce + gochujang. And that "anchovie sauce" is more commonly known as soy sauce. Typically, nengmyeun is eaten in the winter in Korea. I personally LOVE & CRAVE it in the summer. Now I'm hungry, gah!
Luna Kelly Traditional Korean cuisine does not use fish sauce. We use brined shrimp (NOT paste), called saeu-jeot 새우젓. Fish sauce is more typically used by South East Asians, like the Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Thai & Malaysian/Indonesian. Also, soy sauce is made from fermented anchovies.
Luna Kelly If you look at the ingredients, most soy sauce includes anchovies, which is why most Vegans will not eat an off the shelf soy sauce. BTW, anchovies are also in Worcestershire sauce! When Koreans want an anchovy flavor... we use dried anchovies. Mmm.
Joyce Malone where in the world would you get soy sauce with anchovies? I've used different brands of soy sauce, from the cheapest to the most expensive, and I have never came across soy sauce with anchovies. Also, we're talking about anchovy and soy sauce, not worcestershire sauce.
The most important thing aba ssam is that you should eat it at one bite. Never cut it. The purpose of ssam is to make your own perfect combination of food. If you cut it, it doesnt have any meaning.
Is their proper etiquette about keeping the grill pan clean? I just went to a Korean bbq place, and they must've changed the grill pan like 5+ times. I felt really bad for the workers swapping out the grill pans and was wondering if it was normal to swap it out that many times or is there a way to lessen the employees' work.
I'm going tonight in Tamarac, FL, for my first experience with this type of eating. I honestly thought the lettuce thing was a joke. I hope they have french fries.
She ruined it with the alcohol consumption, I regret not watching this before showing this to my 10 year old son before we went. I take all accountability as a parent but I just want to add that the alcohol has nutritional benefit at all 👐✨✨✨✨Thanks for the tips✌️
I was impressed to first see her wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt, I was like this girl got class. Then she said to wear a ratty T-shirt when you come to these places and my respect for her went all the way down. :(
I’m watching this after going to a Korean bbq place ;-; and this would’ve helped so much... we didn’t know about these sauces and that there was marinated meats so we ate all the raw meats just by themselves everybody hated it 😅 but i think we just didn’t know how to eat Korean bbq
the banchan is served Community Style. This means you do not eat directly from each dish. You first put on a little bit in the dish in front of you and eat from that dish.
I just want to know what that variety of meat tastes like, I’m picky when it comes to meat, I don’t enjoy the fat, so what could I possibly order and not regret
@@cpmvmaker1 honestly, just do it. Spray a bunch of perfume and dash out your door! My coat and shirt still just smell like worn out perfume so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
