2 Michelin Star Recipe! Jungsik Restaurant's Famous Octopus Dish!

Today, I made a recipe from Restaurant Jungsik, a 2 Michelin-star restaurant in New York and Seoul that sells Korean-inspired cuisine! It's a restaurant that I always looked up to since the beginning of my career, and I finally get to try one of their classic recipe, their Octopus!
This dish was lightly crispy, tender on the inside, and combined with this insane sauce, was whole another experience! It actually brought me back to a dish I used to eat a lot as a kid, a type of deep-fried squid.
It always made me kind of sad reading comments like 'this is not Korean food', in the video that showcases Jungsik's dishes, and I can tell from actually trying that it really does remind me of Korean dishes I used to have as a kid!

[@MateuszNowak2]

[@0728aus]

OMG,look nice!

[@DanielsGongBang]

Hahahaha thank you very much 🙏

[@peterthoms2725]

Is there a recipe so we could try too?

[@mirceskiandrej]

Looks amazing, but did you peel the skin of the octopus? Looks like the purple skin is off on the sides of the tentacle at 2:54. Wondering if this is a different type of octopus from what I can find, or you peeled it.

[@DanielsGongBang]

I usually like to peel if, but Jungsik restaurant didn't so I just have it without peeling it. From what I felt, the skin creates a layer of crispiness after frying, alost like fried chicken. So I think they intended to leave it for a reason. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@yanisbeaudoin7703]

Nicely done. I was very curious what the sauce was made of as I have a similar concept for a dish, thank you! You should stage for them, I am sure they would take you on :) .

[@DanielsGongBang]

I would love to one day 😁 thank you for encouragement 🙏

[@laurenyip2515]

[@usernamegoeshere527]

This looks so fucking good

[@DanielsGongBang]

Haha thank you very much!!!

[@kkkkstyle]

Hey, is the Sauce warm or cold?

[@DanielsGongBang]

Sauce is cold :)

[@raycaruso8026]

A tentacle will never, ever be my idea of a great meal.

[@DanielsGongBang]

Hahaha preferences are everything when it comes to food for sure :)

[@TarBoysWorldWide]

Don’t eat octopus please. -Actual octopus

[@BeachSamuraiStudios]

Need More ‼️Small Portion …..

[@DanielsGongBang]

Very small :) this dish is actually meant to be one of 12 courses, I believe

[@xXJohnofthedeadXx]

What happens to the end piece? Chef's nibbles?

[@DanielsGongBang]

Yes they were exactly that hahahah :)

[@JamesChenisKing]

I think if you massaged the octopus with cornstarch and salt for 10 to 20 min it would’ve been extremely tender

[@DanielsGongBang]

Probably but this was still extremely tender to begin with 😁

[@harryb12993]

give me the other 7 tentacles and all the sauce.

[@113tachi]

문어에센스 뭔가 낙지볶음 소스 졸인느낌! ㅋㅋ

[@DanielsGongBang]

정식뉴욕 셰프님이 문어볶음 아이올리라고 말하셨었어요 ㅎㅎ

[@ivanobaicchi223]

Dalle immagini il tentacolo al taglio mi sembra indietro con la cottura

[@bindusmagnus2165]

Whoever gave the two stars to the dish, which is basically one fried octopus tentacle with some mayo, is a complete a..hole and fraudster. The entire entire industry is a complete scam. Beside that, props to you for your cooking and editing style.

[@caesarspqr5561]

Thats why M. P. White gave away all his michelin stars and stated " you sell tires,i sell food". Look him up and you will see alot of his insights how a michelin star is obtained and what comes with it. Highly suggest any of his books

[@DanielsGongBang]

It is true that the Michelin guide have a lot of controversy. At the end of the day, their guidelines for star just judges them on food, so even if it's 'just one fried octopus tentacle with mayo', if it tastes good to them, they can give how many stars they think it deserves haha. It is kind of ironic to begin with, to try to be objective on flavor when it is a complete subjective topic for sure. Thank you for watching, I am happy to hear that you like my video and cooking style 🙏
