Asians Vs. Caucasians: Our Favorite Korean & Japanese Foods | ReactCast

[@jaimemarston6200]

I need a hug from Benison right now ☹️ he’s such an amazing guy! The world needs more people like him.

[@caloyyy6168]

PETITION TO HAVE PLACHY IN A TRY NOT TO EAT EPISODE📣

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Done!

[@jaycrew2953]

lol that was easy

[@northernsnow6982]

He was invited to be on it a few podcasts ago.

[@michelleromeo92]

kimchi kimbap is good

[@LilHoneyTea]

I wonder which Try not to eat he is in 👀 since the cast said Done 👀

[@sammylane21]

Benison does look like he has nothing but positive vibes and is easy going type guy so I bet he does have a healing touch to his hugs.

[@racheltuskin2006]

i agree with this. And I think Brian would be the same

[@sydniecota5286]

I have always thought this, but Benison looks like he is such a safe space. I love any video he is in he meshes with any reactor he is with, I love him so much.

[@milliondollarextreme99]

yes!!!!

[@PaigeWashington-q2k]

I have always loved Benison's personality. He seems such a sweet heart. A podcast may be his niche. Good job my guy!

[@sarahtyoung]

benison seems like just the sweetest human

[@leanna2586]

Agree!💯

[@jaycrew2953]

Nicole your grandfather sounds like an incredible human being

[@envyvicious]

This was so educational. I really enjoyed it.

[@SuperGimpoManALTERNATE]

This episode was SO MUCH FUN to watch!! Had an amazing time checking all of this out. :)

[@jerrytetemaro2098]

This is awesome, lot of history and personal memories

[@kimmiesylvester7141]

Benison is one of my favorite React personality on the channel.

[@ganjananja420]

fun fact missed: kimbap is a variation of sushi that catered to the monks as there was a huge buddhist movement in korea. the options used were veggie friendly as monks are vegans. side dishes called banchan came to creation from buddhist influence as well

[@sarafaubion113]

I bet Bennison gives great hugs!

[@timisme8360]

It seems that there's an overwhelming opinion that we could all use a Benison hug. I agree! There isn't a person on the planet who wouldn't benefit from a Benison hug! The same goes for both Izzys, Jayse, Jaime and Martine. They all seem like such good spirited, kind people but especially Beni. Dude is just amazing! And sometimes, the right hug can just make the world a little brighter.

[@eric----]

Great video. I always love mukbang talk shows. I'm surprised Nicole didn't bring soju. LOL

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Next time!

[@Lokahi-fo-life]

I can totally see Benison being a big hugger, he’s such a kind and fun person. Korean culture isn’t big on hugging either. Being from Hawai’i we are big huggers. When you show up and leave a gathering you better hug everyone, especially the elders. I think it’s a great aspect of the culture. Keep on hugging Benny!!!

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

I haven't missed an episode because I love it

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Same here!

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Being a Montana boy myself, there's been a few times (not all the time) I've had huckleberry lemonade, and it's really good!

[@michaelevans1193]

Bennison needs to come back and just swap stories. He has such a positive personality but too much time in this episode was focused on the food to let his glory shine.

[@EightZen]

wait this PVF episode they mentioned in the Hotteok section... where is it? haha

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHvQhKmYia-WraM 💚

[@GFM1980]

Love the podcast...Please keep going

[@marymaranan3641]

Need more of these!!! Maybe add different Asian casts members on as guests. Would love to see Vietnamese, Filipino, Malaysian, Taiwanese, etc foods!

[@rahjahknows]

I'm so happy that Kevin is so happy this episode

[@milliondollarextreme99]

love this episode

[@WordAte]

I know everyone from react channels. But I prefer this format. It is so f*cking sincere. I love it. Keep putting these out.

[@PrisonbreakSPNheroes]

A dessert I've tried (and made) was the Japanese Christmas Cake. We had missionaries serving over there visit our church and I made a gluten free version. It was delicious and I even learned the Japanese name. They told me it was very close to tasting like the traditional version.

[@APhizzle]

Benison feeding them was super sweet 🥹

[@CinemaJunkyBen]

I just want to say I love that u post these at about 6 am pacific, cause I live in the Midwest so it is perfect for the drive to work and the first bit of my shift ❤❤

[@jacers14]

Love this episode ❤ Next would be Southeast Asians. Thai, Filipino and Viet foods.

[@Bodyriot]

I never, and I mean EVER, listen too podcasts. But this I loved

[@RMCloco69]

At 13:00 Nicole should have finished the quote from Finding Nemo “Fish are friends, not food”. 😂

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I just noticed Nicole's necklace! Is that supposed to be a sushi wrap necklace?

[@peterpeterpumpkineater9451]

Yea, it has to be

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Yep!

[@cheriwasano7833]

The brown sauce (Bulldog sauce) is tonkatsu sauce. It is sweet and savory with a worcestershire sauce flavor. In Hawaii, we use this sauce commonly mixed with ketchup or other enhancements as a dipping sauce for chicken katsu. @reactcastofficial Placky, the Hawaiian food you mentioned maybe chicken katsu (not loco moco).

[@kkech7150]

i mean, unless someone there comes from a middle eastern background.... The Caucasus is a linguistically, culturally and geographically diverse region. The nation states that compose the Caucasus today are the post-Soviet states Georgia (including Adjara and Abkhazia), Azerbaijan (including Nakhchivan), Armenia, and the Russian Federation. With that said, i love these shows.

[@kamenwaticlients]

Exactly. This right here. I have "fun" explaining this to folks when the convo comes up. Most of the people we call Caucasian are in fact not. Its interesting the reason why, for lack of a better term, "white people" are called Caucasian is because the person who coined it had a fetish for Caucasian women and people. He considered them the most beautiful and stuff and highest of the high so therefore "white people" aka Western Europeans and the like had to descend from them because it jived with the brand of elitism and racism at the time. Funny enough true Caucasians weren't really considered "white" till way more recent then folks realize. When the numbers needed to be boosted for the census all of a sudden Mediterranean, true Caucasian, Slavs, and Middle Eastern people got considered "white". The guy who came up that use Caucasian is Christoph Meiners. There was also another guy named Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.

[@nikkitraver7092]

As a middle eastern woman… thank you lol

[@Ashattack2221]

I love this concept so much and I love that Nicole has a sushi looking necklace it's just so cute

[@Neekab]

Great cast choice! First podcast I have watched whole way through

[@gregstoddard8097]

I'm with Joe on the texture thing. Even having had south and east Asian foods most of my life I won't eat certain foods due to the texture. Natto has the added factors of the smell and partially due to the fact that I don't like most fermented foods, except Vegemite.

[@palexanderrice]

I’m half polish and I would really love for you all try the cannibal sandwhich. A very specific and safe Raw beef on marble rye bread and sliced vadalia/sweet onions.

[@Cavpal]

@@marydavis5234 Did you say something, miss Nobody? I guess it was the wind.

[@racheltuskin2006]

Plachy's reaction when he realised he went too fast was funny. love Plachy

[@angelabaillie1973]

Loved this episode!! Plachy for Try Not To Eat and more of food stuff xx

[@carlclark4151]

Shogun was an amazing show. I lived in Asiia for many years and I really miss real Asian food. Great podcast guys. 💯

[@iridescentdragons114]

you guys should try Hmong food. There is a big Hmong population in California, and it would be cool to here you tell people about Hmong culture and how Hmong people ended up in the states. both here and People vs Food. Papaya salad, stuffed chicken wings, Kapoon, Larb, Nava. There are SO many great foods.

[@chrissylozada6358]

I’d love a hug from Benison 😊☺️

[@brendalee7484]

My favorite podcast so far...I want to eat everything that was on the show except the natto. :D

[@jnbg61584]

I appreciate that the chewing noises weren't as bad as i was anticipating

[@zombiestalker420]

I just have to say i absolutely love EVERYONE in this pod. Idk it really warms my heart to watch and listen to this pod specifically because they people in it are generally Good people. Which makes me want to continue watching. Benison is sucha a sweetheart, Joe to me is like a non perverted cool dude, Nicole is just adorable and clean. Podcaster is a qt pie. That’s all I gotta say I just love you guys, keep up the good work ❤❤.

[@gavinwelch1340]

Great episode! Love you all! Thanks for the giggles!

[@kenbozu1]

Joe should get those training chopsticks where there is a spring in between the two sticks to help you practice.

[@lifewuzonceezr]

Elastic around the ends help

[@palexanderrice]

Joe is right! When Plachy came into camera, I was like DAMN….dude got gains. I remember when he was a string bean

[@SnowAngel14]

I need a hug from Benison now!!! Having a horrible work week!! I need a cure!

[@denisemkh]

This was the best episode ❤❤❤

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I remember years back now in a PvF episode with the kids they had them try natto and none of them liked it.

[@Proudtman]

Red Bean Mochi is the best snack food I've ever had! There's no comparison for me

[@sochii5059]

React podcasts are soooo healing to listen to ❤❤❤

[@SiKedek]

Favorite dishes from SE Asia: Philippines: Pancit Palabok, Kare-kare Indonesia: Lawar, Bubur/Bubuh Bali Thailand: Pad Kaprao, Boat Noodles Burma (I do not refer to the country by its junta name): Laphet Thoke, Mohinga

[@SiKedek]

Laos: Som Tam, Jaew sauce with sticky rice

[@disappearng]

a hug from benny would cure my mental illness

[@jl7998]

Benison's hugs sounds amazing

[@dattokar]

Benisons facial expressions are great this episode

[@battiekoda]

Man!!! I need a friend like Benny!

[@petekaiser]

how i wish they feature an entire food from filipino fiesta...cause its an assortment of food that has lechon as the centre piece

[@CurleyMouse]

Would love to see more Korean and Japanese foods!! Like the corn dogs, the Tteokbokki, braised kimchi, Korean bbq, soju!!!!!!

[@JoaniekArt]

seeriously love nicole and benison!!!

[@RuthyJM]

Love learning about these cultures and foods. Beni is ADORABLE😍

[@sugibear123]

shogun the mini series was good too 80's

[@the_peteybug7368]

Awesome Episode.

[@adonis6332]

Wow love it❤❤❤

[@brettsuydam7457]

Benison hug tour sounds sick

[@EmilyKaplan]

As a lifer-Hanson fan going to South Korea (and Japan!) later this year I will absolutely be singing Kimbap the tune of MMMBop whenever I eat it

[@macfeitality]

Nicole is amazeballs! Her blings are always on point, sushi roll for a pendant

[@wilnonajaye6553]

This with Filipino food with all the reactors that are half/Filipinos ❤❤

[@hj45-s9k]

This was a great ep 💞. Looked like all really good food, so jealous

[@randar8540]

Me in Montana literally eating elk jerky from the elk burger that we just pulled from our freezer in the garage. Hunting season also just started last weekend and we just finished using all of our huckleberries on our pancakes a couple of weeks ago. If you ever get the chance try huckleberry BBQ sauce. It's the best. Also there's a lot of generational American Norwegians here that make traditional dishes. The stories behind it just aren't passed down.

[@tadaoxu4651]

Chazuke is a simple yet comforting dish. Not sure about the “eating on holidays”. Can eat any day of the year😅

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Joe is so right about Asian cinema. I more recently watched all the Ju-on (The Grudge) movies, and there's a lot of going back and forth in the movies' timeline of events. I really enjoyed all of them because of that, but that's probably because I have a writer's brain. Something that's different narratively I tend to really like.

[@jeannettekaticich224]

Joe was spot on. I'm cajun and the history with our food is wonderful.

[@Duffercity1]

Nicole and Benison should have taken this opportunity to show Joe how to use the chopsticks. Would have helped some of the viewers also. My bad...I made this comment before watching the end of the video. I guess I could just simply delete this comment altogether, but nah, I'll just own it.

[@CaliJuls]

Where did you get the hotteok from? Love fresh made hotteok! 😋

[@marydavis5234]

They live in Los Angeles, there are a lot of Asian restaurants.

[@kendramoerbeek3538]

I want a hug from Benison! 😢

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I'd like to give a name to Joe's theme song this week: The Asian Persuasion.

[@pheeao4898]

My comment is a 2 parter. 1. I love these episodes because you actually see the reactors be more themselves than be in that React mode. Benni has always been a favorite of mine because he is so confident and in touch with he's more softer side but this ep just showed me again how genuinely wholesome he is! 2. 100% Korean and Japanese movies are next level amazing! I grew up with anime but always watched the dubbed versions. Enjoyed it, it was fun, great. About a year ago I was reading up on monster movies as I have a massive love for cryptids and supernatural. This leads me to find Shin Godzilla. I watched it in Japanese with subtitles and HOOOOOOLY SHIT! It took me to another place! I now have an insane love for Korean & Japanese subbed movies! And sub is so important because it loses so much emotion and punch when it's dubbed! Godzilla Minus One is a great example of this. Some people who watched it dubbed and then subbed on Netflix, and they realized how much gets lost literally in translation. Anyhow, that enough from me on my soap box. Kloveyoubyeeee

[@KaseyThePuppePuppe]

Joe pulling a Sharen 😂😂😂

[@Ossey1976]

I, as a german, knew what Soondae was by just looking at it.... Not a huge fan of the german version, "Blutwurst" when it is raw, but cooked, there is a dish I absolutely love: "Himmel und Äärd" .... Heaven and Earth... Bloodsausage, mashed potatoes and roasted onions.... may work with sooondae too...

[@razoredgeknife]

Himmel und Äärd, Tell me more cause it sounds delicious.

[@nikomouse6583]

I love this episode..I love they bring up Hawaii because yes we grew up on alot of these foods 💜💜💜💜

[@iselin90]

Benison is such a king and can we get Anthony on a episode of react bullseye or People vs food?

[@trebmal007]

Huckleberry FTW - on a visit to Missoula Montana I had Huckleberry ice cream, it was really good!

[@alexwebber5317]

The shots of Plachy eating 😂 29:03

[@Lokahi-fo-life]

Ochazuke was an after school snack for me, 1970’s. I’m not sure I would have started them off with the ume version, I preferred the plain or even salmon. Benison is so much fun. I just ate natto this morning with hot rice. How did Benny not bring some type of kbbq? I’m a Japanese from Hawai’i, however kbbq would be my favorite food. There is so much more many foods to try, I hope people will try other types of food from Korea and Japan. I try to eat foods from all cultures as much as possible, because you never know what you’re missing out on.

[@Songdaddy]

Are you kidding, biscuits an gravy, shrimp & grits, brussels sprout sliders, buffalo wings, fried chicken, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

[@ReikaSensei]

You don't really have to go to necessarily big cities to find okonomiyaki shops if you just know where Japanese communities are in the US. They're not even chains, but there's a few okonomiyaki shops in Torrance and Gardena because a lot of Japanese people live there. I've been to Azuma before on Western. It's pretty good.

[@ReactCASTOfficial]

Have you found any monjayaki places yet?? Am still looking!!

[@ReikaSensei]

@@ReactCASTOfficial Apparently Happa Restaurant in Redondo Beach has monjayaki. Any place that has it will probably serve other kinds of Japanese food because monjayaki is less searchable/known about in the US.

[@ewCow]

Joe seems like my friend who doesn't like anything vinegary. Like pickles, anything pickled, any cold salads (which usually have vinegar in them), wine etc. I was wondering why he doesn't like potato salad, but it's vinegary, so it made sense. Nothing wrong with it anyway, I have a problem with slimy textured foods :)

[@MizzCarmen]

I would pay for the hug sounds amazing

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

I would love to try Okomiyaki! Every time I see it, it looks so good!

[@brieezy.]

Dude, I am about to scour Uber Eats and see if I can find somewhere that has these Asian dishes❤ I know I’ve had mochi before because I used to go to anime conventions all the time and I’ve even gotten those snack boxes from like Tokyo treat

[@christopherrodrigues9871]

Love the show,watched it with my family, the Korean blood sausage. Is similar to Haggis.scotish blood sausage ❤❤❤❤

[@disappearng]

crying about Nicole's mochi memory 🥲

[@neilfleming2787]

you're talking about Shogun, I've not seen the new one, I loved the original one from 1980 with Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune playing the main leads. Absolutely stunng from that time, it got me on to the books by James Clavell, which are fantastic

[@RoCa-tg6md]

Chinchikurin in Torrance makes good okonomiyaki

[@KnightOfHvn]

I love shows like this. I can't eat sushi (doctor's orders), but the Korean sushi (can't remember the spelling) sounded good. Especially with Bulgogi. I love that stuff from a local place.

[@lizziepopcole140]

Vienna sausages, casseroles, pork rinds, boiled peanuts, fried apple pie with hoop cheese on top, biscuits and gravy, sh!t on a shingle, etc

[@sleepy_aesthetic]

I would dream to be hugged by Benison 😭❤️ (the ending)
