    Hi Uncle Roger! Thank you for liking and watching my recipe! No wonder everyone likes your videos, you are so funny : ) I always add a bit of water to my kimchi fried rice to make it moist, I've been making it this way for decades. Enjoy your cooking!

    I have SUCH a soft spot for Maangchi, she taught me how to cook! My mother is a frankly abominable cook so I grew into adulthood not even knowing how to chop an onion, but she explains everything VERY simply so I was able to slowly figure things out. Mind you, that meant I only knew how to cook Korean food for a long time, which was the opposite of a problem for me but drove my family insane.

    I actually like putting in a simple sauce of gochujang, kimchi brine, sugar, and sesame oil to my kimchi fried rice, because I like mine a bit sweet. Tuna or Spam goes well with kimchi fried rice as well. Also, the most important step in the dish (in my opinion) is to make green onion oil (파기름) at the start, the difference is quite noticeable at the end.

      I'm genuinely impressed at his knowledge here considering it's not even his food culture. I agree with everything he says here, except maybe that you need kimchi juice at all- kimchi will transfer a strong taste to the rice even if it seems like there is no juice for sure- but definitely doesn't need added water halfway through either. The way my mom made it, you want the little crispy bits of rice from the lack of liquid. No gochujang either he's right on that one too.
      Add spring onion near the end as well- spring onion in korean cooking you want it to be quite raw.

  • @haribo8080
    @haribo8080 6 місяців тому +15

    There are two types of spring onion-- in Korean you call the thick one 대파(Dae Pa), and the thin one 쪽파(Jjok Pa). You can use 대파 from the start and sizzle it to make 파기름 spring onion flavor oil, just as chilli oil or garilc oil. 대파 is thick enough to endure the heat like onion or carrot, while 쪽파 should only used at the end of cooking, as a topping!

    7:47 I think she used water because it's hard to travel with briny kimchi... every Korean cook knows that travelling with kimchi is a losing proposition -- the liquid always manages to spill out of the jar no matter how tight the lid so I think Maangchi played it safer/neater by bringing a fairly dry kimchi without so much brine. And I'm really surprised that Uncle Roger confused Gochujung with Daenjung (Korean version of miso). These two are so different and Gochujung sauce is getting better known by even Western chefs now.

    • @chaisepomme4070
      @chaisepomme4070 Рік тому +57

      And I can't think of any circumstance when I or any of Maangchi's fans would cancel her. I think Koreans make their fried rice a bit wetter than other versions as the rice of choice is a wetter, stickier short grain rice.

      First, there are Lock and Lock containers, which first showed up in Korean stores... which has gaskets, so one can travel with wet foods. It also won't smell (as much), but white people will move away from you, thus making Koreans feel more Korean.
      Second, it irks my Korean sensibilities you called Doenjang "Miso" in any sense since they while made with similar ingredients are not the same. The process is different, and in miso you have to add koji, whereas in doenjang it's not added at all. Doenjang tastes stronger than miso and was a byproduct of making soy sauce. And yes, I've made doenjang as a byproduct of soy sauce, beating Maangchi to posting it on the internet. lol
      And It's Gochujang, not Gochujung. kochu/gochu, in this case, means chili. jang means sauce. ganjang, is soy sauce. doenjang is fermented soybean.
      You aren't Korean. I know that, otherwise you'd have spelled jang the same way.
      장--there is no mistaking it in hangeul and all romaja translations have ㅏ as a (and ah, sound, BTW, not that aynnnn US nasal sound that grates on me. WTH. When native Korean do it to please white people, I cry.).
      Just saying, it's worth the time to get it correct.
      As for kimchi bokkeum, yes it's supposed to be wetter than Chinese fried rice. Maangchi is also from Gyeongsang, so it more than likely to use seafood. But usually there's sesame seed oil. ^^;; Sometimes Maangchi Americanizes the dishes a bit, which I feel 50/50 about. But then I'm one of those half Jeolla Brats that Gyeongsang would hate on me for. Not sorry to Appa for liking Jeolla kimchi more.

    8:20 haiya actually gochujang in kimchi fried rice is pretty common la. It makes the taste richer and adds spice and flavour. Some might put it in straight, some might mix it with sprite/corn syrup/soy before putting it in. My old boss used to make it like that. The deliciousness is until your mother cannot recognise that kind of delicious.

    My Korean girlfriend was very frustrated about this criticism of added water and gochujang. The water helps distribute the kimchi flavour in the pan, especially if there is not much kimchi juice and will cook off very fast. Although it can be left out, gochujang is a staple in kimchi-fried rice.

    • @kingzach74
      @kingzach74 Рік тому +1

      I think the problem is she added water to the rice which will make the rice a bit soggy and dilute the flavor. If this dish didn't have rice adding water might be fine, but since there is rice, you don't want your rice to be soggy.

      @@kingzach74 My point was that it does not make the rice soggy if you use the right amount. If it did, any kimchi brine would do the same. When making kimchi fried rice, you are purposefully adding a wet ingredient to the dish for flavour and you are always risking sogginess.

    Gochujang is fermented chili pepper paste, not fermented bean paste as Uncle Roger commented, and should definitely be added in kimchi bokkeumbap. Daenjang is the fermented bean paste. Also, with kimchi fried rice, it's ok to use fresh rice instead of day old rice because kimchi fried rice is meant to be wetter than chinese or japanese style fried rice. Haven't said that, kimchi brine is a necessary ingredient too.

    Gochujang is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking. It is made from gochu-garu (chili powder), glutinous rice, meju (fermented soybean) powder, yeotgireum (barley malt powder), and salt. Gochujang means a bomb of msg + sugar + salt + red pepper.

      also the fact that it's not weird to add gochujang to kimchi fried rice. also, gochujang is usually mixed with water or sesame oil to make it a thinner consistency, so it's really not weird to add water to kimchi fried rice if theres gochujang.

      Yeah, I think Uncle Roger is just wrong on this one. When you're getting bokkeumbap at a restaurant, it's usually made with the leftover sauce from whatever you had previously, so if you get dwaeji yangeom gui there's gonna be a LOT of liquid in the bokkeumbap. The way Koreans do fried rice is very different than a lot of SE Asian cultures. I'll be honest, I'm usually well into my food coma by the time the ajumma comes out with the rice and kimchi, but I'd bet that there's a LOT of restaurants in Korea that do it exactly the way Maangchi did it. It's 50/50 whether its gonna be crispy or it's gonna be "wet". Both ways are really good, and both ways are called bokkeumbap.

    As a Korean, I add a little gochujang to my kimchi fried rice to make it more red and spicy. It can add more flavor than kimchi alone. (You can also add kimchi water too, but it gets too watery) Also we first saute the green onion in oil to add a little flavor the oil and make green onion oil (파기름). I think she close the lid to make the crispy crust at the bottom of the pan, which I think is essential in korean-style fried rice, but i definitely wouldn‘t add water… that part was just so wrong.

      if you add just a bit of kimchi juice to coat the rice and color it, it will dry up by the time it finishes cooking. i feel like gochujang overpowers the kimchi flavor and starts tasting like a tteokbokki sauce, but enjoy your kimchi fried rice however you’d like! 😊

      @@dustf1nger118 people can cook however they like so it’s not like adding water is not allowed, but if we’re talking about the correct recipe for korean kimchi fried rice, she is wrong.
      i’m korean and i’ve never seen any other korean put water in person. i’ve also never seen any recipe or cooking video that said to put water in except hers.
      and if i don’t have enough kimchi juice, i use a larger amount of kimchi bc it has a high water content (it’s crunchy bc there is liquid inside)
      most recipes only call for a tablespoon or two of kimchi juice if they use it. she put like 4 tablespoons of water in. NOT TO MENTION SHE USED FRESHLY COOKED RICE which is moist af, you can literally see how wet it is in the pot and you can hear the moisture of the rice sizzling when she puts it in LOL

    She said and used Gochojang, a chili paste, which is a correct seasoning for Kimchi Fried Rice. Uncle Roger is confused it with Doenjang, a fermented soy bean paste. Also she stired the rice because short grain rice is sticky, you can not "toss it" around like long grain rice. The Kimchi Fried Rice is left to cook without stirring to get a crispy, almost burn crust at the bottom.

      He thought gochujang was soy bean paste. From what i've seen using gochujang(red pepper paste) is a standard step for kimchi fried rice. I don't use it because it's just oddly more hot than using gochugaru. I can use 2 or 3 tablespoons of gochugaru but 1 teaspoon of gochujang is too spicy for me. I grew up eating straight bird's eye chillis because i'm half Indian but i have an autoimmune condition now that affects my mouth and the only chilli i can handle is Korean chilli, it's so delicious i love it. i grew up cooking Korean food as our Korean lodger who lived with us from when i was 13yrs old to 20yrs old was the only one who thought to teach me how to cook. Idk where he was from in Korea but he also got me into the habit of also adding tomatoes to everything. Korean kimchi egg-fried rice gimbap was the first thing i successfully learned how to cook/make in my life when i was about 14yrs old. Before then i was just burning sloppy rice on the cooker with a few oxo cubes in it because i'm also English in England.
