    man, the popularization of korean culture globally has just surpassed so many levels now. as a korean american growing up, no one really knew anything about korea and kids would always ask if i was chinese or japanese. but now our culture is so popular and is literally a powerful economic and political tool for south korea. 10-20 years ago, it would have been so strange for me to see guys like this have so much enthusiasm and knowledge about this

      Indeed it has. Half of my family is partially Korean so it's been cool to see people learn to appreciate the food/culture more - including myself over the past 15 years.

      Same here! I’m also a Korean American and people would call me Chinese or Japanese. I’m glad people are making it popular. I hope they make it super popular so they can finally sell Korean ingredients at stores bc I miss Gochujang

    Allow me to simplify your recipe by using measurement equivalents. It saves a lot of measuring.
    1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce (90ml)
    1/4 cup White Sugar (45g)
    1/4 cup Toasted Sesame Oil (45ml)
    1/4 cup Toasted Sesame Seeds (21g)
    2 Tbsp Gochugaru (15g)
    2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar (36ml)
    3 Garlic Cloves (12g)
    Substitute 2 Tbsp liquid sweetener if you are watching sugar intake

      Thanks for measurements it is extremely important to give measurements for us beginners

    • @robertsparling
      @robertsparling 3 роки тому +9

      @@gudeliop1 After a while, you'll begin to see that exact measurements are not so important. It is getting the right combinations. For instance, although I do not speak for Adam, my bet is that he got his measurements by watching his stepmom and her mother mix the dressing without measuring anything. He measured what they put in, and it tasted good, so that became his recipe.
      Recipes can be endlessly adapted. I leave the sesame seeds out of mine because the seeds stick to the side of the glass and don't make it to the banchan. Also because there is plenty of sesame oil in there for flavor.
      Another idea I haven't tried yet is to leave out the garlic and add scallions and ginger to make the sauce more Chinese.

    • @robertsparling
      @robertsparling 3 роки тому +12

      @@hatoriterry8198 No, I'm not Korean, and my conversion is not accurate. 1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons, not three. If you think that will ruin the sauce, then measure your little heart out.
      I use a gram scale to mix this sauce. I weighed the ingredients. Now I just put my Good Seasonings cruet on the scale, pop a funnel in the top, and just start adding the ingredients by weight. I don't use any measuring spoons or cups that way.
      But there is more. If I'm out of light soy sauce, I use regular, no big deal. If I'm out of rice vinegar, I use white. I replace the sugar with a liquid sweetner.
      There are as many variations of the sauce as there are banchan dishes. There is no single "right" way to make it.

    first time I tried korean food, think it was 2013, i fell in love. I've never been an adventurous person when it comes to food, always been a picky eater, but the first time I saw kimchi on bizzare food I wanted to try it even though I cant handle heat.

    Omg radish banchan has been my favorite since I was young. I was also raised on Korean food but bc my parents were stationed in SK for a while, not bc of heritage. I eventually figured out how to make my own pickled radish. But I can't take it anywhere to enjoy because people always complain aboutthe smell. 😭 Do I complain about your stupid pickles?? No! Let me beeee!!! 😭😭😭

    Loved your video . I’m not korean but I’m korean on the inside lol . I’m obsessed with Korean Dramas. Watch them daily . So I’m learning the language loving and the food . My patient I care for happens to be korean . I eat korean food all the time and living in Hawaii has me in the center point of all walks of life . Korean people, Japanese, Chinese, Phillipino’s, Micronesian, Vietnamese, Hawaiian’s of course and many more . I said all that to say this . I think your korean side dishes are spot on . The spices etc. You surprisingly, got the sesame seed oil correct . Because anyone who’s Korean knows that the brand you chose which is , Koha, is the best tasting one out there. You can’t find a better one . It’s so good a lot of side dishes only use that . And Koreans know their sesame seed oil. I’ve tried them all and Koha Rules . So thumbs up on the unexpected . I’m privileged to eating the finest tasting side dishes (Korean of course ), often . Now I just got to make it myself . I’ll start with your recipe . Thanks . I look forward to watching your other videos.

    Do you live in Korea? Where I live there is a large Korean population and it has made me curious about the food, and I have tried some. However I also like to make things like Kimchi and Korean radish kimchi. I tried to make my own bilgogo a few times, and it came out ok, although maybe a little too sweet. Thanks for your video--I've been looking for this.

    Kikkoman is not korean soy sauce, taste differrent. I recommend to use korean soy sauce, called GANJ

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  3 роки тому

      I'll have to check that out, and yes I'm aware Kikkoman is Japanese, but I got it at my local Korean market and it was an affordable, bulk option so I reached for it. As far as inexpensive soy sauce goes, it isn't a bad option.
