      I’m white lol and I always get the mini tub when I go to the super H mart (big Korean & Asian supermarket) because I literally put kimichi on everything lol 😂 and eat it almost every other day. Mannn, I’ll eat it with rotisserie chicken, rice, steak, in eggs scrambled, on pizza, with pork, with ramen 🤤😩 or sometimes I’ll just eat some out the jar. Idk, I really love it. It’s really good for you, probiotics and for your intestines. It helps your digestive tract. But I love other kimchi’s too, like cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, chive kimchi 🤤🥰 man I’m hungry. Lol

    I just moved to Maryland and HMart is my main place to grocery shop. I've changed my whole way of cooking. Korean food is one of the BEST! The flavors are insane! I really want to try fishcakes soon. Thanks for this video.

    • @bleed7378
      @bleed7378 3 роки тому +5

      The thing about fish cakes is that the diversity is kinda double edged: yes, there are types suitable for chicken soup, fish soup, tteokbeokki, pho, ramen, and straight up boiled, but a fish cake that is good for one dish may not be good for another.
      That said, when you know the 🍢 is good, it’s fucking delectable. And you might not even need to go to HMart to get it, any local JP supermarket should sport a frozen section with good fish cakes. (You will need to defrost and boil them yourself, though, and even possibly slice them)

    Hey Mikey. The literal translation of kimbap is "seaweed rice" which mistakenly alot of folks think of them as a Korean "sushi" roll. In fact both are not prepped or taste even remotely the same hence why you'll never find soy sauce/wasabi offered with kimbap.
    The main characteristics of kimpap is the densely pack rice roll filled with whatever filling (usually beef or imitation crab meat, carrots, spinach, pickled diakon radish in the States) and a generous amount of sesame oil on the outside. The whole thing is basically a self contained flavored roll (strong sesame oil flavor) with a dense texture (especially on the rice). The most important ingredients personally is the pickled daikon radish should be 1/4 of the entire of the entire inner filling ingrediants to provide much needed acidity and a contrasting texture crunch.
    That being said they are a childhood nostalgia and perfect food (often wrapped in aluminum) for a picnic or food on the go. The reason for their popularity in Korea is you can get a massive kimbap roll for $1. Also in Korea they have many different filling such as canned tuna, kimchi, and even cheese.
    TDLR - Don't mistakenly think Kimbap is a "sushi" roll. Think of it as a dense rice roll and you may like it (but most people won't) 😂😃
