I cannot imagine being so beholden to an "illicit" substance endorsed by both the church and the state. it just seems so much like applying for a permit to rebel. It just rubs me wrong on principle.
Kimchi is the Korean equivalent to German sauerkraut, and was made for the same reason. To preserve the cabbage thru the winter as food for the coming year.
Most people think Kimchi is ancient traditional Korean food, but the kimchi as we know it now is actually a 19th century thing. Also napa cabbage kimchi didn't really take off (most common type of kimchi today) until late 19th or early 20th century. In fact a lot of traditional Korean food/drinks originate around that period. Prior to that Korean foods were pretty plain.
My nephew does that when he's excited 😂 it's adorable and slightly terrifying... especially if you lean back a little and he follows with those lil shaking fists 😂😂😂
I lived in Seoul for 2 years and ate out every day. NEVER had a meal I didn't enjoy. You really need to get out and try Korean BBQ or Dolsup Bibimbop. You won't be disappointed. Love your channel. Hears to many more years!
Hi I'm Korean student! I watched this video. First of all, I want to tell you that the chicken in this video doesn't look like the chicken we eat locally. Also, I don't think I've ever seen "Kimchi Cheese Fries" on the streets of Korea. I hope you don't have the perception that real Korean food is always like that. "Japchae" is korean traditional food. However, the japchae shown in the video and the japchae eaten in Korea look somewhat different. I leave this comment in the hope that you will not misunderstand about Korean food. Thank you for reviewing Korean food!!
Korean Fried chicken is fried twice to get the crunch and they use corn starch or potato starch as a dredge. Usually is VERY crunchy, put if it was as take out, being in the container probably killed it..
I love Japchea. Its soooo good. I think Korean fried chicken is different than other fried chicken ... its whats in the seasoning flour. I could be wrong. ( i am Japanese/American and not Korean) but i buy korean fried chicken flour. I use it for all my fried foods
They should do another video that’s Korean fried chicken only, if they have access. I realize I’m spoiled in Shinjuku, but Korean Fried Chicken has taken over Tokyo: plain, gochuchang, snow chicken, honey walnut, etc.
Beksul Korean Chicken Fry Mix is what you need in your life. I add cajun seasoning to it for that extra kick of flavor. Sometimes a little more garlic and onion power. Twice frying it is also key. Surprised no tteokbokki though. lol
I was stationed in S. Viet. during the Tet Offensive. One of the toughest fighting groups in Viet. were the ROK's (Republic of Korea). One of the 1st things that you learn about Koreans is "Kimchi". It is a fermented cabbage dish placed in earthen crocks & buried. And it stunk! Every Korean ate it & you could smell it on their breath when they walked into a building. but everybody respected them as fighters. 1968 was also when the USS Pueblo Navy spy ship was hi-jacked by N. Korea & the crew held captive. I was sent from S. Viet. to S. Korea just in case LBJ decided to take our ship & crew back by force. I spent 2 mos. in S. Korea before being sent back to Viet. via Air America (CIA). We would order "rice & beef" when eating in town. The Koreans topped every dish with a fried egg. A Korean woman I was seeing asked me one day if I had ever eaten dog. I said no. She then asked if I had seen any cattle around?
Kimchi goes remarkably well with cheese. I think even if you're normally not a fan of kimchi, if you find it with something that has cheese, like tacos, try it.
Korean express at the UB commons in Buffalo north campus Japchae special 3x a week x4 years on campus FTW an almost unmatched noodle dish (hence it was meant for Korean royalty originally)
Every Tryer on every food video: "This would be great if you were hungover." I don't know what they are drinking (everything?) but after a night of pickling brain cells, the last thing I want the next morning is to be cramming food down my gullet, especially if there was any driving of the porcelain bus the night before.
Am i the only person who would be bringing tupperware to these shoots so i could take home any leftovers i couldn't force down my throat? Because no way could i waste any of this food lol
I'm not a fan of cabbage at all but Kimchi is damn good imo. I was surprised how much I liked it. Also I had those kind of noodles for the first time this year also and damn they slap. I've found even some you can make at home like cup of noodles lol. Nice little snack!
As a Korean-adopted Irishman who struggled to be accepted growing up in Dublin in the 70s and 80s, this TRY makes me very happy! ...next time, throw in some Korean chilli paste 😋🥳
You might also enjoy the one they did with Korean fried chicken. I was drooling! 😀 m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W9jn1FQ2DhQ.html&pp=ygUXSXJpc2ggcGVvcGxlIHRyeSBrb3JlYW4%3D
The food from your lovely country has always made me very happy. I'm a chef by trade, and most of the cuisine I focus on where I work is French, but when I want to please myself I head to Korean Restaurants or food trucks for some of the finest food on the planet!
You should of watched their older videos where one of them almost throws up...and says Korean food is nasty They're trying to make it up with this fake crap....fake garbage channel
Korean food seems to be going through a popular phase in the west right now but I used to go to a Korean restaurant in Dublin for lunch once a week 15 years ago. My favourite was sizzling pork belly jjigae and I loved all the banchan too. I don't always get to go there now but I do always have kimchi in my fridge.
Japchae is a big favorite in my house. I grew up with it so it was a diet staple of my childhood. But my husband loves it too, especially since he has Celiac Disease & can't have noodles or pasta made from wheat flour. My kids love the springy & bouncy "glass noodles" which they think is fun to eat. It is a easy dish to make at home & it is delicious served hot or cold. I always make extra to put in the fridge & have chilled leftovers for lunch or snack the next day, especially during hot summer weather.
@@nathangerrard9792 I understand that. I was making a general observation about my experience with Irish people. The kimchi could have potentially been spicy
Irish born and bred and have been eating in Korean restaurants in Capel St and Parnell Street in Dublin for 15 years and there are plenty of Irish who eat there.
PLEASE do a joint shoot with some of the Tryers and the Korean Englishman (Josh) from Jolly. He knows every good place in Korea to eat and what not to eat. What a treat that would be!!!
As a Korean transplanted in Wisconsin, I’m envious of all of you in this video. It’s hard to find good Korean food here. Next time, just invite me over. I mean, I am also part Irish…😁
That's because you moved to one of the whitest places on the planet... you should've moved to the West Coast... lots of Korean transplants in Washington and California...
Am I the only one who wants to see them try Tteokbokki, Eomuk Guk, Haemul Pajeon and Jjangmyeon? If I can get those things in Western Australia they should be available in Ireland and I reckon that would make quite a nice combination for the Tryers...
I'm from Dublin and have been eating in Korean restaurants in Dublin for 15 years. My favourite is jjigae. Sometimes they anglicise the menu so we may have eaten them but don't know the Korean name.
@@moorenicola6264 Sorry, Tteokbokki is like a thick noodle made from sticky rice with a spicy sauce, Eomuk Guk is a very thin Korean fish cake with a broth, Haemul Pajeon is a savoury pancake with seafood and spring onion, and Jjangmyeon is noodles in a smoky, almost barbecue sauce... I personally love making BudaeJjigae, army base stew, lots of familiar flavours with a good hit of Korean zing...
@@cullain3967 No need to apologise. They sound delicious. I've definitely had those scallion pancakes. They're delicious. The area of Dublin city centre with the Korean and Asian restaurants was just around the corner from my work so it was so easy to go on my lunch break. Now it's harder to get there with a toddler and eight year old in tow! Every now and then we go into town for a girlie day and I try to get her to go for Korean food but of course she wants KFC! Maybe we should start with Korean fried chicken! She did have a Korean corn dog with her aunt a while ago so baby steps!
Loved it! You guys are the best! You also made me hungry. And if Dermot wonders what he became there.... he was a living meme. 'Old man yells at fried chicken'
There's something just a bit odd and different about both Graeme and Saifa that I really enjoy - whatever it is makes for a really entertaining pairing. Glad everyone got to enjoy, and thanks for the smiles and laughs as always!
Graeme is quite a bit older than Saifa, and she is such a lovely young woman that she gets along with him so well. Some of the earlier video when they were paired she'd almost snicker out loud at some of his weird reactions, but by now they are like buddies!
The Ban Ban Korean Fried Chicken that opened near me is unambiguously the nicest cooked chicken I have ever eaten. So crispy on the outside. So tender and juicy inside. I just make happy noises when eating it. Nothing chickeny comes close to how good that chicken is.
Oh you guys need to talk to the Koran Englishman and also try some Korean street toast as well, he might be able to bring things there and cook them. Okay Gabbie might be able to bring things there and cook them.
I think Korean street food must have changed a lot since I was in Dongducheon in 1990. We used to get really good skewered beef and corndogs made in front of us with a hot dog on a chopstick dipped in cornmeal batter and deep fried. Down in second market there was a lady who sold a kind of pancake that erupted with honey when you took a bite; that was really good, but messy. I never saw fried chicken or potato fries, but like I said, maybe the food culture has moved on without me.
Im a Caucasian Canadian and I love Korean food especially yangnyeom which is spicy glazed fried chicken. Watching this video made me order Korean food for delivery 🤣
have you done a spice bag episode? i learned about those the other day. everyone looks dodgy but also real good. and the fact it comes in a brown bag like liquor is what i think makes it sketchy
You need to get the people from Korean Englishman to bring you authentic Korean street food. The food you gave them looked kind of like trash. Korean Englishman does it up right.
Great video... but WHOAH..... you can't do a Korean Street Food video without Tteokbokki and Beondegi. I say you guys need a part two for Korean Street Food and include those two!
Lady at the local (newly opened) Korean BBQ restaurant was giving away free samples, no one wanted any but I knew what it was and kept asking for more and she nearly fell over when I said "Gamsahamnida"
Lamb is… not a common thing in Korea as it has strong meat smells which they don’t like. That said chapchae is so good. Everyone I know who tries it loves it.
After seeing this a got an idea,..... Why don't you guy's meet up with de boys of Korean Englishman. It would be some to talk about for years to come. And if Jos does a better job then usual,.... it might be the icing on the CAKE..... 🍧🍦🍰😋😋😁👌👍👍
Never spice or sauce your food until you’ve tasted it first. “Wasabi joyu” is my best example but, I’m really talking to all of you here in North Carolina who put ranch dressing on EVERYTHING 🤮 I just got done watching the first 3 minutes of a video of some idiot covering a $150.00 Waygu steak in a pound of Montreal steak seasoning. I don’t think I’ve ever unsubscribed a channel that fast. Call me what you will but, at least taste your food before you cover it That last dish with the beef and sweet potato noodles looked like something worthy of crawling over broken glass to get at 😆
Sean, KFC hasn't been KFC since 1964 when the Colonel sold out and the corporate stuffed shirt went cheap as 'ell. Original KFC is night and day from the sad thing it is now.
There is something that many folks don't know about kimchi - there are more than just one type. Yes, the basic standard (& most well known) is made with Nappa cabbage & spices that is fermented. But there is also mustard leaf kimchi, cucumber kimchi (my favorite), scallion or green onion kimchi, baby radish (with leaves) or just the leaves alone, cubed white radish (#2 favorite), and so many more. There are different kimchi that are typically eaten depending on the time of the year. For example, Korean winters are brutally frigid so "winter kimchi" is made much spicier (& fermented longer) so that the hot flavor warms you up faster to keep you feeling nice & toasty during the snowy days. Summer kimchi served in seasoned cold water helps to cool you off during the hot weather & isn't as spicy tasting as "winter kimchi". Kimchi is very healthy "super food" as it is loaded with vitamins & natural probiotics to help with digestion. Also the spicy ones help clear up nasal or chest congestion when you've got a cold or flu. When I was young & got sick from other kids at school, my mom would make a big pot of "kimchi soup". She would add beef or chicken, tofu, other vegetables, & extra spices to help clear up my sinus cavity to make it easier to breathe through my nose & to calm any coughing issues. It really does work!
The Korean Englishmman, Korean Street toast, Korean fire noodles and stuff. I'd love to see all of you doing a taste test! You guys are great keep it up!
Friends and I went to a Korean barbecue, in northern Toronto, and they gave kimchi as a complimentary side. By the time we were done, we had completely run them out of kimchi.
