My favorites are 순대 and 육개장. By the way, I juste received Korean made easy 3. I’ve order the 2nd as well. I’ll received it on Sunday. Really love that textbook. Extremely easy to use and understand. Happy new Year! Wish you all the best for you and your family. ✨🎉 By the way, are they lots of vegetarians in Korea?
I was thinking to myself "wow, what an amazing list. He hit almost all my favorite Korean foods", but then I thought about the vast amount of Korean food that I love, and I realized that any list would be a good list lol. Korean food is just so amazingly good that any top 10 list will contain food that I love. I would like to add my favorite 안주 which is 닭똥집 (literally chicken poop house or aka Chicken gizzards (I think? lol)). I remember first trying 닭똥집 at a 술집 my first time in Korea, but my friends woukdn't tell me what it was even though I loved it. Fast forward a couple years, and I finally make the connection, and It has been my go to 안주 for soju ever since.
I feel so hungry because I'm watching this at night. 🤤 I like 돼지국밥 a lot. You hardly find 돼지국밥 in Seoul or other cities except Gyeongsangnamdo/부산. I love it. (저는 '아제 입맛'이에요 ㅎㅎ)
One of my friends in Korea LOVED 돼지국밥. I've tried it maybe twice and I liked it, but I never got to go somewhere that made it really well. I want to try somewhere that's famous for making it.
Among the food culture of Korea, special things that distinguish it from the food culture of other countries. // 1. Perfect vegan food represented by Korean Buddhist temple food 2. An endless variety of soup dishes 3. Kimchi: Vegetables fermented with animal protein represented by cabbage kimchi. In the past, only Koreans made and ate it. There are over 800 types of kimchi. 4. Jeotgal: A fermented animal-based sauce made from seafood. In Korea, there are more than 140 different types of salted fish. 5. Ssam: It means wrapping all the ingredients you want to eat in various leafy vegetables represented by lettuce. However, unlike burritos, you have to swallow them in one bite, so you need to adjust the amount of ingredients to be wrapped appropriately. 6. Herbal Medicine Ingredients : Herbal medicine ingredients are not only eaten for special diseases or health, but are also often used for general home cooking. For example, as ingredients for Samgye-tang, Mulberry, Tree Aralia, Eleutherococcus Sessiliflorus, Mongolian Milkvetch, Korean Angelica Ginger, Jujube and Korean Ginseng are used. // Etc... Korea shows a distinctly different food culture from neighboring countries in Far East Asia (China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Japan).
Yes Calbi is on my list of favorites along with the black bean noodles... Kimchi pancakes... Ox tail stew. I've made miyeokguk and the black bean noodles dish plus a few other Korean dishes. Most of the Korean dishes you spoke of in your video I can't have because of health reasons. Thanks for sharing. Finally got to see you without your hat on... 😜. Next video can you do it on your favorite Korean desserts?
When I was in Korea in 1974 to 1975, I had to be very careful what I ate. I have never been a big fish person, probably related to my Iowa farm connection. I was also concerned, at the time, about the lack of adequate refrigeration. Now they have fully modern refrigeration. But I also had a depression era mother, who never wasted anything. I was exposed to childhood food, I would not eat as an adult, especially pig's feet and liver. I also grew-up around blood sausage, but seldom ate it. But Korea has many foods that I love. Some of which is mentioned in this video. My favorite is also Billy Korean's favorite to include bulgogi (fire meat). Take a look and see what you would eat. I like about half of Billy's list. A little background about Billy Korean. I do not know his true name, but he is a Los Angles American, who became interested in Korea as a teenager. He decided to make the plunge and went to South Korea and took a chance. He knew very little Korean. Now, he teaches Korean and makes that his living.
I LOVE 짜장면 more than any other food. I'm so lucky to live 5 minutes away from a local Korean restaurant that makes it perfectly and gives really, really big servings. I keep an old sweater that I've designated as my 짜장면 sweater because, yeah, it is messy... 😂
Only yesterday I tried what I now know as Korean Blood Sausage. The menu left out the word blood. 🙄. Glad they did as I would not have tried it, and I really enjoyed it. And will go back for more. Can’t wait to tell my mate what we really ate😂
There are so many more fast food places like Isaac's now that didn't exist when I lived in Korea in the 90s. My top 5 dishes would be 간장게장, 돌솥 비빔밥, 비빔냉면, 닭강정, and 두부김치.
Finally Toronto Canada has Korean Hot Dog Restaurant. It's called ChungChun and their Rice Dogs are so good. Gsamsung Dogs are the best. The Mozzerella Cheese Dogs are so good.
Wow I thought I was going to be adventurous and have mussels when I hopefully visit Korea in 2023, but now there's intestine and coagulated blood?! 😱 No lie, that scares me! Haha! My favorite dishes are 잡채, 비빔밥, 돼지 불고기, 어묵, and 오이 김치. The side dishes are my favorite part!
My favorite dishes are actually two dishes tied at #1. My very first Korean food that I fell in love with is Chicken Bibimbop, Black bean Pasta as you've mentioned and Korean Fried Chicken. That's actually three dishes. These are my top three dishes.😋❤💯
I was really surprised how good 순대 was. I was so good, with a grain of salt of course. As for my favorite comfort food. That must me 닭갈비. More specifically.. 치즈닭갈비🥰 Also; For NYE yesterday I got Kalbi. Though it was Black angus and not suwon, it still was really good. Home made ☺️
okay i’m hoping someone can help me out with this question completely unrelated to the video but in the sentence “그렇지 않아도 가 보고 싶었는데 잘 됐네요” what does 그렇지 않아 mean? i know the rest of it means like “i wanted to try going so it works out well” but for the life of me i cannot figure out what 그렇지 않아 in this sentence means (though i know it’s 그렇다 + ~지 않다 i just don’t know what it means within the context of the sentence) apologies for the grammar questions on this terrific video! my favorite food is 닭강정 ;)
그렇지 않아도 is similar to 안 그래도 which is similar to saying like "either way" or "anyway" or expressing you were going to do something despite something else.
Hey Billy! I am going through your lessons on beginners Korean language. I am finding it hard to understand the complete sentences even after knowing the separate meaning of words. Please suggest me something.😊
I'd recommend moving through the lessons more slowly. Also practicing them outside of the lessons would be helpful. They're not made to be watched back to back, since you would miss out on practicing the content in them.
I must've never tried really good 육개장 before :P I just eat the same thing as who I'm with is eating. That's how I initially found out most of these foods.
Hi Billy~ I have one more question 😂 i saw this sentence: 평소 팬들과 관계? Here we have word 평소 but i don’t know how to translate this sentence into english, Beacuse 평소 doesn’t make any sense to me, but I know what 평소 means by it self.
@@nikolekyt3812 It wouldn't be natural, but yes grammatically you could put a sentence together like that. Typically though there's no reason to put so many sentences together into one. It's better to separate them so it's more clear what you're trying to say.
@@GoBillyKorean Thank you, but i have one more question. What means 평소? I don’t know what that means, when i was watching a interview i didn’t see a translate as usual.
@@nikolekyt3812 Also if you have many questions about vocabulary words and what they mean, I highly recommend using Naver's free online dictionary. It would be much faster than RU-vid ;-)
Billy, I will be in Korea in April. I would be glad to buy you lunch. To learn about me, go to "Pat's Korea Adventure" on Facebook. I served in Army Intelligence in Korea in the 1970's and speak some limited Korean!!! Studied at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey!!!
@@GoBillyKorean Yeah, of course there might be great alternatives for vagans and vegetarians! After all the Korean cuisine is very vegetable, fruit, beans and noodle based! And I enjoy the list that you have made for your favorite Korean dishes 😄
해물탕 almost made the list, but to get a really nice one with lots of fresh ingredients it's super expensive. Another one that almost made the list is 주꾸미 볶음.
