I like kimchi. I love the kimchi.

I love this.

And the kimchi is too. Did I mention that? Gamsahamnida!

Hello everybody, I am with a special guest today, my dad, and we are ready to eat today. He will be trying out different kinds of Korean food that we got from a market here, but actually he's already been to Korea. So do you really remember any of the Korean food that you've tried?

Korean barbecue. It was really, really good. And kimchi. I like kimchi.

Those are probably the two most popular Korean foods. Does any of this look familiar to you?

It's completely new to me. It all smells really good, I might say. It's got the whole kitchen smelling good.

We are going to start with this. This is called tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki.

Very good. That's perfect. Tteokbokki. If you were to just look at this, what would you guess that it is.

I would guess it's some type of noodles, cheese, and sauce. It looks good and it smells good.

Yeah, it looks like little gnocchi, kind of the little pasta. Yes, but it's actually rice cake. Usually it's super spicy. This one is cheese flavor, so it's a bit more mild. So we try?

Let's give it a whirl.

Dig in.

Good taste, good texture, yummy.

You like it?

I do.

Okay. Sometimes they'll have fish cakes inside, or I like it with ramen noodles. So they'll do different toppings, and they'll also do different kinds of sauces.

Can I have another one?

Of course. Eat as much as you like.

It's really good. Really, really good. I like the sauce, and it's got a little zip to it. Not bad though. Not over the top. I like it.

Mm.

Mm-hmm. Two thumbs up. All right. Yep.

So out of 10, what would you rate this?

A 10.

Oh, Bokki fan.

Yeah, I like it because it's saucy, cheesy, chewy, gooey, yummy.

Eat as much as you like.

All right then.

No, Jan's the true test. Well, because she's a little pickier than my dad is, so she's the true test. Look, chewy. Mm-hmm.

Tastes pretty good.

Yeah, so I'd probably give it a maybe an 8. Okay, hey, that's pretty good. So here we have Shin Ramen. We did about half of the spice packet, so it's not as spicy. Let me see if I can remember how to do this. They make a special bowl out of the wrapper here, and then go ahead and try it if you like.

I need the bowl.

Use the bowl. Wow, there you go.

All right.

You look Korean eating it like that. Really? Very Korean style.

It's good.

That's the way to do it, like a shot.

Tastes good. It is spicy. It clears your sinuses out, all right.

This is very popular, like when people go camping, they'll have this in the morning for breakfast after drinking a lot of beers or soju the night before.

I don't know if I'd try it for breakfast. I'm It's more traditional bacon, eggs, cereal, but it's got a good taste to it. It's spicy. It's got a little bite to it.

Yeah, so if you can take a small piece of the kimchi, and then if you can get some noodles to eat it together with this. So kimchi is usually served as a side dish. So if you're eating noodles or rice, you'll eat it together. Perfect.

It's good.

Down the hatch.

I love the kimchi. I like the vinegary, pickly, and the texture. I can see why you'd eat it together.

Kimchi is like the national dish of Korea.

I like kimchi.

Yeah?

Oh yeah. No, I'm the guy that'll drink pickle juice right out of the jar. And this resembles that a little bit.

Wow, I can see where I get it from. I also drink pickle juice.

Oh yeah. Yep.

Like father, like daughter. What do you rate the Shin Ramen out of 10?

I mean, me personally, I'm not a huge noodle guy. I'd go about an 8 on it.

How about the kimchi?

11. I love this. I do this. I could make a meal out of this.

This is, um, black bean noodle. It's called, uh, Chapagetti.

Chapagetti. Chapagetti.

Does it remind you of anything, the flavor?

Um, I gotta have one more bite to make sure. Just to make sure. It's got its own unique taste. I'm trying to associate it with something that I'm used to, but nothing's coming to mind. It's good. It's a mild, mellow—

Which do you prefer, do you think, the Shin Ramyun or the Chapagetti, if you had to choose?

If I had to choose, I'd say the Shin Ramyun.

I'm a Shin girl too.

Yeah?

Yep.

Only because I think that has more spices, where this is a little more not so spicy, I guess.

I agree, this is more flavorful.

Yeah.

Yep, this is kind of bland in a way. Sorry to say that.

I better try another piece of kimchi with it.

There you go.

Mm.

You dig the kimchi, huh? All right, so what would you rate the chapagetti?

I'm going to say 6, only because I guess I'm more of a spicy eater.

Yep. So this is called haetban.

Say it again.

Haetban.

Haetban.

Yep, haetban. And this is just a microwave rice, but what's kind of unique about Korean rice is that it's very sticky. You can do a meal where it's rice and then kimchi and a lot of other small side dishes in stew.

You guys took me to a restaurant and that sounds a lot like what we had that night was rice, kimchi, and that lady brought up different little sides.

Yep. And usually the good thing about the sides is you get free refills. Oh yeah. So if you like the side dish, you can say, "Keep it coming." I thought she just liked me.

That's like that for everybody.

She did. It was only for you.

I'd have to have some of this with it.

You know, they'll have some kind of soup or stew And they'll take a spoonful of the rice and some broth.

I would have to have something with that.

Right.

Otherwise it's kind of plain by itself.

And that's usually how it's eaten. Most people won't eat this just plain.

Okay. You feel like it's thoroughly cooked, but it's not undercooked. It's not crunchy.

Right.

You know, and it's not soggy.

Right.

It's right there in the middle. I'd probably give it an 8 because of the way it breaks apart so nicely and evenly. I'd give it a 10 if I could mix it with this or that.

Then I'll say you give it a 10 because that's usually how you eat it.

Okay. I like the texture of it.

I feel like this is a very beloved Korean food, especially among Americans and other foreigners. So this is mandu, and mandu is just a dumpling. So there is meat and vegetables inside of here. Ooh, alright.

I like it.

Mm-hmm.

It's got a crispy little shell, moist inside, flavorful. What did you say is inside this particular one?

Beef and vegetables, all kind of ground up. Yep. You can have them steamed, so it's not crispy but it's soft on the outside, and you can get them fried. Usually it's served with some kind of dipping sauce similar to soy sauce.

You can have kimchi with it. Yeah, I see the greens in there for the vegetables.

We're eating healthy.

I see you dipped yours in.

Yes, it's good.

Yep, because that sauce is really good. It's yummy. And the kimchi is too. Did I mention that?

I don't think you said that. Probably my go-to Korean foods if I can't decide what to eat. Or if nothing sounds good, dumpling always does the trick.

I see why.

Yep. What would you rate these out of 10? 10. Oh yeah, a quick and easy 10.

Yep. I could eat those for a meal or an hors d'oeuvre. She likes that stuff.

There you go.

I like the mandu, and you can have them with kimchi.

Kimchi goes with everything. We always got to finish with a dessert.

One of my favorite times.

So this is a traditional Korean street food called bunga bong.

And it's a dessert?

It's a dessert. In Korea, they have sugar mixed with the red bean, and they use it for a lot of desserts. Um, but you can also get it filled with cream, but this is the traditional one. Okay. And we call the red bean pat.

Pat.

So pat means red bean.

So red bean.

Cheers.

Who would have ever thought red bean would be a dessert.

I know, very different than American dessert.

Tastes really sweet. I like it because it is red bean. It's not like gelatin jelly stuffed in there. It seems more natural.

When you think of this versus traditional American dessert, what kind of differences would you notice or think of?

I like this because you almost feel like you're eating a pastry, a warm hot pastry.

Would you say it's as sweet as most American desserts, or Depends on what.

Americans are nuts with sweets.

Like a brownie or cookies, right?

Some cookies are sweeter, but this is like the perfect level of sweetness, I think.

This is very popular in the wintertime. It's a winter street food snack.

Would eating 12 of them be not good? I feel like I'd want to grab, you know, 6, 8, 10 of them or something.

Usually they are this big, so it's full pastry size. These ones are mini ones.

I could see me knocking off a half dozen to a dozen of those with a little bit of chocolate milk and then a coffee or something.

How about your rating for this?

I'd say a 10. Yeah, everything I've tried here today— maybe it's because it's all new to me, but it all tastes good.

So you're a fan of Korean food then?

Yeah, you get this mental thing in your head, Korean food, we're gonna eat rice and That's it. This is creative Korean food and it's tasty.

I think Korea has so many dishes, like even I haven't tried half of them probably.

Everything I've tried here is phenomenal.

Do you think I should open a tteokbokki shop or a bungeoppang stand in Saginaw?

I think it might do all right.

All right, next business venture.

I think so.

So out of everything I know it's hard, but if you could only choose one food, what would you say was your favorite? No hesitation.

Well, I definitely like the kimchi, but I really like this. I really like mandu. I really like this. I like everything I've tried so far, but kimchi's top. Absolutely.

Kimchi takes the gold.

I appreciate you having me taste test all this. We got any more?

This was a lot of instant food, but next time we'll cook some real Korean dinner.

I appreciate you doing this today.

So that's the end of our Korean mukbang today. Seems my dad enjoyed the food. If you want to take your English to the next level, check out our membership option. See you next time, guys. Bye!

Kamsahamnida!
