Ghanaian and Korean American Swap Traditional Dishes

[@raiethefantibae]

Oh sis don’t worry about the burnt jollof. You’ll find that SOME Ghanaians even burn it a little on purpose as they say that it gives the rice a nice flavour.

[@desmondokyere]

Damn right . The burn part is the best

I love how every culture has a version of “use up your leftovers” dish, usually some kind of stew or soup. It’s great to see how different cultures were forced to get creative with their resources over history and make a dollar out of 15 cents

[@siythevirgo6652]

i agree!

[@mm-uz1gu]

But in some instances its a painful reminder of oppression in history. Considering that some korean dishes arose from /literal/ leftovers the japanese threw out when they invaded korea. Similar to how african american soul food also has roots in slavery.

🇬🇭🇬🇭 Idk if it was the recipe but I feel like the jollof could’ve been more red 😭😭, the Korean food looks tasty and nutritious though

[@andaa.9588]

I was thinking the same thing about the jollof rice 😭 maybe she didn’t use tomato paste or enough tomatos 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@MsEricao]

I didn't mind the colour, I thought it was okay - she probably used fewer tomatoes than meat broth (as someone else mentioned). I was just worried that it tasted burnt... I find the burnt taste in rice just travels throughout the whole batch, but you're right the Korean food did look tasty and nutritious

[@Nicolacurran1]

I've heard so many good things about jollof rice that I'd love to try it. Not many West African restaurants in Dublin, Ireland though. Maybe I'm wrong and just have to search a little deeper because we do have a strong Nigerian community.

[@andaa.9588]

@@Nicolacurran1 If you can’t find any authentic restaurants to have jollof rice I would recommend just trying to make it yourself. There are plenty of recipes online for jollof rice, but many differ because different countries make jollof rice differently. I would suggest trying nigerian or ghanaian jollof rice.
