MYYYY CABBAGES!!!!

[@BexEvans]

Call me crazy, but cabbage is one of my favourite veggies! Love seeing new and tasty ways to cook it!

[@abbylynn8872]

Mine as well

[@smooglibear7628]

I used to not like cabbage, and then I discovered kimchi.

[@dianemarieevans9145]

Me Too! Loved it since I was a Kid! Which was very, very long ago!😅

[@musicthroughthenight]

Thank you for including all the vegetarian/vegan options!!

[@adamhunter1223]

The cabbage guy is 100% the best character in that show.😂

[@meatflake]

those fried oyster mushrooms look amazing

[@ClaudiaDCD]

I love how you have vegan options too. They're such a great way for me to fall back in love with veggies

[@havingicecream]

Awww yeah, Cabbage Vendor!!! I was already thinking about what to do for dinner, and I got some cabbage in the fridge! These look super delicious~ God, your dog is soooo cute♡

[@brandonchavez6315]

For anyone who's frantically looking at the grocery store, just grab the green cabbage. I couldn't find a napa cabbage so I did it with a Common green Cabbage and it turned out amazing.

[@tony359]

To be fair to him, that cabbage looks like a head of lettuce! :) Delicious as usual!

[@MusiciansRule07]

One of my hometown heroes! My family and I moved to The D from NW Indiana in 2001 when I was 8 so learning more about the local food scene from a native is awesome. I appreciate how you always offer vegan options and I'm also saving your garlic soup recipe for the winter. It's been a joy to watch your channel grow and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe. Have a good one! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜👩🏾‍🎤

[@LAVegan]

I love your channel! You really motivate me to expand my cooking horizons

[@prismaticboy7531]

2:55 That's pretty much how I tell the difference between Korean and other writing too. If it has circles it's most likely Korean lol. And a friend of mine tells me he can tell the difference between japanese and chinese is that chinese has more lines usually in their characters compared to japanese. Great vid! Always happy whenever your longer vids show up on my feed.

[@alisaurus4224]

Thai script looks like bean sprouts to me

[@toBe8ere]

@@alisaurus4224 I know what you mean. Sometimes they remind me of soybean sprouts or a flowering bud. Or, if I was to liking it something in english, to the more flowery antique calligraphy style of English.

[@toBe8ere]

You can also tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese because Chinese is all complicated characters versus Japanese which is complicated characters plus a mix of straight and round characters (katakana and hiragana). What's funny is that Japanese actually uses many of the more archaic form of those complicated characters (even though it's been drastically simplified from what it started as) and is considered very old fashioned compared to modern Chinese characters. Japanese and Taiwanese Chinese, actually.

[@JoeAuerbach]

Cabbage and gochujang is basically the base for the stir fry I make every day for lunch and it's outstanding. Hit it in with some fish sauce to cut the sweetness.

[@hunty29]

Our little dog also loves vegetables, haha. He will sit and beg hopefully any time we're trimming brussels sprouts, but he gets outright mad if carrots are involved and he doesn't get any.

[@3ikilee]

Same but our fur monster is a cat who thinks all leafy things are his 😆

[@dianemarieevans9145]

I always say our Dexter is a Vegetarian. As soon as he hears me getting the cutting board out or hears the knife drawer open, he's at my feet. Loves his veggies. 🐕‍🦺🦮🐕

[@prisma7760]

Im German, so I’m lucky to know many ways to enjoy cabbage. The ones I especially love is „Krautwickel“ which roughly translates to „cabbagerolls“. These are basically big cabbage leaves filled with chopped onions, garlic, spices and lots of ground meat. Then there is „krautsalat“ which is cooked and chopped cabbage with dressing and mustard seeds

[@dianemarieevans9145]

I'm making that this weekend. Just bought my groceries this morning!

[@ikyiAlter]

I remember seeing someone make the same stew but use a shorter pot and slice the cabbage to about 2-3 thick pieces. Then, they would layer out each piece of cabbage and a piece of shabushabu meat on top. Then, they would slowly delicately place it all around the pot and make a beautiful "rose". Lol Oh, I think they used satay or something sauce instead of superior stock as flavouring.

[@sjplanslife]

🤤cannot wait to try….

Would you be willing to do a breakdown on soy sauces? Like common brands you might find and what type they are? Many recipes and guides I have found just specify light vs dark, etc. But the actual soy sauce brands you buy don't often say. Like is plain old kikkoman a light or dark soy sauce? If a recipe calls for "dark chinese" what brands/types are good for that? Where does tamari fall? The whole thing seems somewhat opaque even with some research.

[@chalor182]

Written Japanese does make use of some circle shapes, although not as much as Korean. In fact, the word panko written in Japanese (パン粉) has a circle in it, so your tip might not help someone truly unfamiliar with both languages. But the mushrooms do look delicious!

[@soudipchanda2884]

I don't speak or even read a single word of either language but if you put Korean and Japanese writing in front of me I can instantly tell which is which. I can't say the same for Chinese and Japanese though since they have the same alphabet or whatever Japan took from Chinese language

[@selenavelez8735]

That’s the same way I’ve told Korean apart since I was like 12. I like their language

[@biberfan]

Could you speak in a future video about your background/training? These recipes seem to effortless for you to conjure before us in the videos but there’s obviously a lot of experience behind you being able to make these dishes. All three looked great; I am anxious to try all three.

[@namitann2790]

John, almost all indian language I know have circles in it's writing.... but i get your point. and also most Indian product packaging is in English so most people won't mix it up with Korean products

[@sabinasabino141]

I’ll probably skip the lamb meat and some of the harder to get spices since everything is getting pretty expensive down here in Brazil and I am fairly poor. But I love me some cheap and healthy cabbage recipes, they pair well with the old feijão com arroz, mistura, keeps things from getting to samey. Wish you the best.

[@cold6611]

I've heard Sambal Oelek is an accurate sub for Doubanjiang so that's what I've been using but idk the store was out of the stuff each time I tried to get it there so it's all I got

[@quinnstokes4719]

I love a good fried hen mushroom

[@endorwitch]

all of these look so yummy and the cabbage hotpot looks so easy!!! would you suggest shitake mushrooms as an alternative to the chestnut mushrooms if you cant get those? also just thinking what would you add if you cant add the mushrooms - my mum loves cabbage so would love to suggest this to her but she is allergic to muchrooms. :(

[@blu4get]

LMAOOO when you started into the lead-up to how you can tell if the bread crumbs are korean, my first thought was immediately “CIRCLES!”

When meal prepping with these, would you add an egg on top before eating so you get your protein?

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

A) These look awfully tasty, and relatively simple, which is always a thing in my book. Also, I’ve got a head of cabbage sitting in my fridge, looking for a destiny. B) I don’t suppose you have any video of the moment you realized that your boyfriend had mistaken a head of cabbage for a head of lettuce? There’s something that I find delightful about realizing that someone you love and respect has just done something that, at least in your world, is clearly boneheaded. For me, at least, despite the inconvenience, it always makes that person seem even more lovable.

[@itsjustposey]

I wish my pup would eat veggies, but she only eats meat. She'll take the cabbage, or whatever, to be polite, but ends up hiding it somewhere in the house. It's like a game now.

[@Dparrey]

Ohhh that's what people mean when they say they have a mushrooms guy.

In college I would buy cabbage because it would last WAY longer than other leafy greens. Sadly its not just the dog who farts after lmao.

[@guillermobernal9840]

Fancy.

[@fobMCRspPATD]

Does cabbage not need to be washed?

[@whetstone]

What would you suggest to replace the Superior Stock in the Napa hot pot? The dried shiitake at the bottom and oyster mushrooms between the leaves will def flavor the liquid but it seems like it needs a lot more of a salty/umami component.

[@jonkung]

Superior stock would be amazing in this.

[@whetstone]

@@jonkung Superior stock is not vegetarian, though, is it? I'm looking for a veggie (but not necessarily vegan) version.
