Americans Try Weird Korean Snacks for the First Time

[@icesk8rgirl1604]

QUICK EXPLANATION OF KOREAN AGE: You're considered one when you're born, so everyone is a year older in their Korean age. And the New Year's is just a traditional thing, so it's not like everyone's birthday is celebrated on New Year's, it's just to say you're a year older than last, but you still celebrate your birthday on your actual birthday and your age doesn't change from New Year's. So basically age is about the year you were born, not the specific date. If you want to know your Korean age, you do the current year - the year you were born + 1. Some people might be 2 years older because their birthday has not happened yet this year and your age is set on New Year's (which is this Friday!) So I'm 21, but in Korean age am considered 23 after New Year's, but when I turn 22 in November, my Korean age still stays 23 because it's still the same year.

[@natalieroberts5572]

I only found that out a couple days ago and thought it was so cool! It means that instead of being 16 I’d actually be 18 in Korean age which is crazy 😅

[@samipham3300]

Thats how it is in vietnamese culture as well. So technically im 31 in our culture but American culture im 30

[@FoodTastertv]

Thats actually interesting !!!! Ive always wondered why we dont count the 9 months pre birth as part of our age !!! In a way Koreans count it I guess !!!

[@EmilyEmilyEmily01]

Thanks for explaining this how cool. My mom actually tried to explain why we should be aged this way years ago because she said we already lived before birth. Makes sense to me

[@natashaw401]

thank you for explaining

I laughed so hard. The soups weren’t prepared properly so the texture would be off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you eat the version that is homemade the texture will be totally different. Glad you liked the snacks though. Milkis is also my American fiancé’s fave along with aloe juice.

[@SherriLyle80s]

I drank aloe juice in desperation of my pregnancy reflux. Not sure it helped but I always had to put a little cranberry juice in it. It tasted gross 😂

These cups of soups you’re getting changes the texture of how they’re actually made from home....you need to find a Korean restaurant and get some of these soups to go, I think you’d actually like them!

[@cme1027]

Yes!!! Rice cake soup is delicious homemade

[@antonialeblanc8211]

Before you write off Korean rice cake anything, try them at a Korean restaurant. I recommend tteokboki (spicy rice cakes). Super chewy and tasty. Anything besides ramen in an instant soup cup is extra sketchy texture-wise.

[@littlepear72]

I was going to say something similar. Korean rice cakes are delish when made properly. I feel like the soup they had, it didn't hydrate properly

[@amyfox9659]

Yes. First foods I've tried. I add a slice of velveeta to cut some of the heat of some spicier tteokboki.

[@cme1027]

So right.. the rice cake soup is delicious when done right

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Ive been wanting to try thobokki for years but due to radation therapy I just can't do spice of ant sorts yet but trader joe had tge rice cakes for making it frozen! I also saw that it is normal/okay to try them with a cheese sauce or rose sauce so it doesn't have to be in strictly hot sauce. I do have deoenjang (fermented soybean paste its like a slightly funky miso paste I love it ) I might try using that and some cream and seaweed to make a rice cake dish. But check at trader joes they had the spicy version too. Ive had the Korean seaweed soup that new mothers have. It was made with beef knuckles by a Korean friend for my birthday and I admit its got a bit of a texture to ut but I love seaweeds of all types and really enjoyed it.

[@NsTheName]

For those wondering, the rice cakes are what foreigners know as mochi. They've got a dense, chewy sort of texture. Westerners are not used to the texture so it's often off putting, but they're some of my favorite parts of Korean cuisine. It's difficult to judge those two soups in this video because they're not fresh, but both of those soups are very, very good when they don't come in a cardboard bowl :P Also, I see some explanations for the Korean age, but it's a difficult thing to explain so I wanted to be a little more clear for anyone who's still confused. If you're born the last day of December, you're considered 1 year old (because they count the entire pregnancy as life and just sort of round up.) Then, on the new year, EVERYONE ages up. So you would then immediately turn 2. You would stay 2 the entire year, even on your birthday (which you celebrate like normal) and then on the next New Year, you would turn 3. It's just tradition. So, depending on what part of the year you're born in, your Korean age is 1-2 years older than your international age. When I was living in Korea I was teaching Korean 5 year olds which means that they were 3-4 years old. Throughout the year the kids would have their birthdays, which we would celebrate as normal, but they were still considered 5 the entire year because they don't age up until the New Year. The Korean alphabet, Hangul, has a softer "A" sound than in American English. Imagine saying the German name Hans. Han-Guel. Lastly, the word you couldn't pronounce (jjimjilbang) is like this: Jim (the man's name) Jill (the woman's name) and Bang. Bang is a little harder to pronounce, but imagine saying the word "Bong" with the "O" sounding slightly more like an "A." Or, if you say "Ot" it would sound similar to the sound the "O" makes there.
