How to: Korean Diet Banchans

[@bluewallflower4075]

"Suck it in, and feel what slim used to feel like" 😂😂😂 I loved it!

[@meryemibn]

came for the food stayed for the personnality. Great job sir

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thank you Meryem! And a warm welcome 👋 to the neighborhood!! 🏡

[@luminitalupugradek6394]

True! Me too!

[@annainspain5176]

So many Western "diet" dishes are so bland, it's like punishing you for those extra pounds! Flavour doesn't have to add calories--that's why God gave us spices and soysauce and onion and garlic.

[@FutureNeighbor]

Amen Anna. Amen. 👏

[@fantasieanime]

Onion and garlic I am one hundred percent behind, most spices are good too. But soy sauce (the normal kind) tends to have a high sodium content, so it's good sparingly. I may be wrong but im pretty dure having too much sodium can make you bloated/ retain water, not to mention other health risks associated with high sodium consumption.

[@annainspain5176]

And yet the "low-sodium" soy sauces on the market are full of much worse things.

[@MsEliteForever]

fantasieanime Soy sauce can keep the water weight on likely. Im looking to how koreans eat, but this food looks too good which increase scale...

[@yang3625]

I am pretty sure the sodium amount in his food is not over the chart. In the end it is always about portion and balance. And it is much easier to maintain the diet if it tastes good. What's the point of bland healthy diet that couldn't last?

[@joannetran5149]

Dude, I've legit binge watched your videos since finding your channel. The recipes are great, your teaching easy and not too long winded and your sense of humour is totally my style Nice channel bro!!!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks Joanne! I am frequently editing out lots of jokes - because it gets too cheesy sometimes.. But, hey it is what it is!! Glad you enjoying it 🐸

[@katl8825]

"half a cup of brown rice... haHAHa portion contro--" SAME TBH

[@FutureNeighbor]

Though I'll tell you a secret. After filming, I went back for the other-half 🤫

[@四个苹果-f8j]

That's gonna be carbohydrates control

[@teerich2011]

Well honestly brown rice is healthier, plus using only half portion in healthier. Carb control and dieting in one

[@Violet-wj5fc]

he was flexing on all those dieting people XD

[@Doongi2]

I loooooove the style of this kind of cooking videos. straightforward. sometimes i feel bored staring at people's faces listening to them so better just stare at food

[@FutureNeighbor]

Haha glad you like the format... We also got impatient with the "Food Channel" type personas on TV... Show me the food!

[@yoosaba6955]

“We are Koreans, we don’t have dessert.” That hit me hard😫😂

[@preethykokila998]

Lol😂

[@RavenYoung]

Its so true tho, i went on a sugar crave when i was there and nothing would solve

[@rociopaniagua904]

I am a Dominican girl who loves Korean cuisine. Thank you so much for making Korean cooking so easy and delicious. I really love all your recipes. I'm sure they are all healthy.

[@kwondy90]

Your sense of humor is truly everything!! Not only do your dishes look great, but you're really genuinely funny! Marathonning as we speak!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Awesome Diane!! Which race are you prepping for? When I was racing last year, I remember at mile 23... fans were like "you're almost there!!" Worst thing to hear... Still 3 miles to go!! By mile 25... someone saying "you're almost there" was brutal. We send you some e-support from Seoul! 화이팅!

[@kwondy90]

Future Neighbor : It's a 20k for the California Lung Association! I can't wait to eat like a cow after I'm done! But seriously though, you crack me up!!!! I've seen a lot of amazing talent on KZbin, but you are by far the most funniest KZbinr I've seen on here! Your recipes are also 👍👍👍 and you make it so that people can easily make it. Keep it up! Can't wait til you blow up like Maangchi and Seonkyoung! You deserve it!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks Diane! After the race, do a mini chow-down at any restaurant nearby. Then go for some K-BBQ afterwards! Followed with a beer and a 20 hour nap. Good luck Diane 🙋‍♂️ wooo hooo!

[@tmfields2011]

You both make the recipes look so easy. The meal was balanced and even though a few people mentioned the sugar and oil, in reality it was only 1 T per recipe. Way less than we'd use otherwise. Please do a few more of these. Also, could you do some more tofu recipes and please take the mystery out of tofu. I have never made anything with tofu. I want to. But I have no idea what to buy. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks T for the comment ;) Yes, I would recommend visiting a Korean or Asian mart. Larger variety and selection of tofu - as it is part of our normal diet. I personally never understood why tofu got such a bad rep in mainstream media in the US. A few good recipes could turn that around!

[@minaahl]

I just stumbled across your channel and have been binge watching ever since! I live alone and always find it hard with portion control and a lot of the videos I've found on KZbin does for multiple ppl. Your videos I can follow so easy and it's not so long!! Love your channel!

[@looiwy]

more diet banchans plssssss

[@FutureNeighbor]

Yea, I'll brainstorm some more! 🤔

[@yinsun_chew]

Suggestion, the spinach banchan pls.

[@ShinigamiMoon]

So I was looking around for some channels that would explain cooking Korean food for me as I'm living here at the moment and I'd love to learn how to cook more of my favorite foods, and I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel! Everything is easy to follow, your humour is funny, and you give some great ideas! Keep up the awesome work

[@FutureNeighbor]

Well happy to see that the KZbin universe has aligned us together haha! Get and read to get your hands dirty.... and meet us in the kitchen!

[@LTsunshine23]

Hi Daniel, i just happened upon your channel and have been watching non stop. I like your videos - they're short and entertaining. You have a great personality as well. I am surprised not more people watch you. Well, I hope that changes. :)

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hi LT. Thanks for the love. It's been amazing, connecting with people over Korean food. Gaining more confidence to show more and more of my 'true' personality. haha! We will continue on and see where it leads. Your comment gives me motivation 🔥🚀

[@marissadeakyne1583]

@3:05 ...."ooo, feels kind of nice to play with. Ooo ooo...ok I'll stop" 😂😂😂😂

[@CerroneSamuel]

I’m from the Caribbean and we eat flour all the time. For medical reasons I can’t and I’ve been searching for alternatives and your channel has been the answer. Thank you ❤️

[@lisahinton9682]

I live in the desert southwest portion of the United States and, being right next to Mexico, there are about a trillion types of salsa here. As you were making the sauce for the tofu, I had the thought, "Oh, it's a Korean salsa," and right then, you said, "It's like a soy sauce salsa." Oh, my gosh, you cracked me up! Nice job on the video, as always!

[@robertelwilson]

Another great video! You are my favorite KZbinr to binge watch. I have learned so much about Korean food from you and I love it. Keep up the awesome work!

[@sashanightray9340]

I´m on a diet right now and I´m kinda sick of diet food...but then I found your video & and I´m totally motivated again! Can´t wait to cook and try it:) Thank you :) It would be awesome if you could make more videos about diet foods:)

[@caseya1480]

I'm not sure how I got here but I love your channel now! I don't know anything about Korean cuisine so maybe I will try some. Your personality is really good, makes it easy to watch!

[@thehollowbible]

Your channel is amazing, and absolutely underrated. Always looking forward to more content. Thanks Daniel!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks Andrea!! Love the comment - yes we will keep pushing on! Order uppp!!

[@debbyfebriany8971]

Suddenly he becomes the most handsome guy in my eyes. Guys who can cook are awesome!! 😁

[@priyasubashini4839]

This guy is super chef, everyday waching his vedio's, every vedios are useful, easy, simples, cheef ✋

[@Feelkkari]

Thank you so much for this! So many diet videos are made by westerners for westerners so it's a boring combination of plain protein with plain veggies with plain carbs. Nary a spice to be found, despite the fact that spices can make you feel fuller, more satisfied, and are healthy. I can't maintain a diet like that long term - variety is the spice of life! Will be subscribing to your channel :)

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hey, our pleasure!! My thinking is the same with yours. With the right spices (wet or dry), you can really uplift the flavor of normal "diet" foods like broccoli, chicken, etc. Eating it too plain makes it feel like "dieting" and you feel the need to "splurge". We have a few other low-calorie banchans. Should put that out soon!

[@silentlysommernights]

I made the chicken you did in this video for my lunch and it was absolutely delicious I would defiantly be making that again ! Thank you so so much ! Made life easier for me to make lunch that is quick and easy to take while I’m studying

[@mariamartinatandoy]

Your dish are simple yet awesome and its easy to cook.it looks very healthy and delicious as well. Perfect for the people who are on diet.

[@ktay895]

Really like the relaxed but playful vibe; it makes me wanna go prep tomorrow’s banchans!

[@FutureNeighbor]

K Tay Yea K! I hope you enjoyed the banchans!!

[@mariamartinatandoy]

Your dish are simple to cook yet it looks very healthy and delicious as well. Perfect for the people who are on diet.

[@soang16]

I just tried the tofu dish. It was amazing, fresh, and light. Thanks for the recipe Daniel!

[@Shiv-k5s6c]

What can you replace tofu with?

[@reluctantparticipant9103]

Needed this since i just had a whole pot of dak galbi by myself...i have no shame..it was scrumptious 😋

[@kkochsongi]

I've just discovered your channel this evening and I've watched so many of your videos already! haha. I'm probably going to end up following a lot of your methods in your recipes to make a heap of tasty new things! My partner and I love Korean food but I always feel daunted when it comes to cooking them up, but watching your videos I definitely feel like "I can definitely make this!!" so keep it up! You've got yourself a new sub!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Welcome to the neighborhood! That's exactly why we wanted to start this channel. We wanted to simplify Korean home-cooking. So happy to hear! Try your hands at a few banchan and then work your way up :)

[@YunJaeGDLuv]

Using olive oil is better than other oils cause at least it’s healthy, and if you just add more sauce and use a non stick pan, you can get the same results without any oil. Also, using coconut sugar/honey/maple syrup is better than just white sugar. Otherwise, that meal looks fantastic!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hey J-Horse! All great suggestions and makes it much healthier. Feel free to make it your own ;)

[@itsjae5896]

Sesame oil is actually quite healthy too! Using olive oil in asian cooking can make it taste weird hahaha

[@sunnyjay38]

man im loving this guys energy i cannot stop watching his vids they are gold!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Sending (more) energy 🕺⚡️🔥 to you from Seoul 🇰🇷

[@julym1133]

Thank you for this delicious recipe. I don’t like tofu at all but preparing it like this omg I’m in love 😍 over all this meal is amazing easy and fast. Thank you again, can’t wait to go down the list of recipes!!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Yea July!! The sauce is delicious - hopefully you can try it. May make you rethink tofu :D

[@aimieb]

Chicken looks amazing 😍 The title must be: delicious Diet !

[@rosemaries69]

You actually gave me a good idea for some diet days. I don't really like bell peppers, but I think replacing it with uncooked cucumber just in the end will be tasty too.

[@lorenalareina420]

I made this tonight and it was soooooo good!😋🤤 Thank you!

[@annabanana6713]

Oops I forgot to comment and just asked the brand of your ingredients! I like your videos it’s short but full of information. 😊 I love k-food! and thanks for sharing them with us. I love how it’s easy to cook and only have a few ingredients plus it healthy! with lots of veggies! 😊

[@awwwkitteh]

Nice, i like the style of your videos - easy to follow.. I also miss the Korean food I had in Seoul so inexpensive and cheap! Here in NYC, it it too costly. I hope to use some of your recipes in the future!

[@kyoutenkujo8429]

This video is actually very helpful , the recipes in it are very easy and simple to follow and the food portions are responsible , not like the other diets were they tell you to eat only couple of teaspoon worth of food and that's it ... smh, anyway the food looks mad good !! Props to you ma man 👏👏

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hi Tsurugi! Funny you bring that up. When I was brainstorming for this video, I came across some Korean articles on how to diet like K-pop stars. Lot of misinformation but the advice was to eat one sweet potato a day (or something similar like that). Not so smart ha

[@hellofeels]

Hi Daniel! Thanks for making these wonderful videos. Don't get tired making them :)

[@niki7159]

Please do another video. It helps me a lot.

[@kirsten7214]

I love these videos. Please do some diet lunches and dinners (although, you may have and I haven’t caught it yet!). My favourite new sub!

[@ginakennett4051]

You are heaven sent. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated.

[@lanatherana157]

Delicious! I’m seriously binge watching these videos, your content is amazing!:)

[@FutureNeighbor]

Don't watch too late at night - you gon get hungry ;)

[@lauratran9264]

Great ideas I call this healthy eating the dieting word makes me feel depressed . This is very very food ideas. I come to lice watching you and Katie showing me how to make good Korean food in the society where we are so pressed for time. Thank to you both.

[@MinttMeringue]

Laura Tran Well, to make dieting less depressing as a word, know that technically everyone is on a diet. A diet is just what you tend to eat. Weight loss diets are what should make you feel depressed lol!

[@Paulfrankfriend]

Love this video’s recipes so much I’m gonna make it! and also your hosting!! Great job!!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Excellent! Happy that you will try it out. Let us know how you like it :)

[@mhais21]

I jist discovered your channel and desperately trying to portion eat, i’ll try some of your recipes! Thanks!

[@estoires_]

Same! Happened to just stumble into your channel and I'm loving it!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Ashley Lumayag Hi Ashley! A warm welcome to the Neighborhood!!

[@Pajtshiabx]

Wonderful job Daniel & Katie

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks Paige :) And welcome to the Neighborhood 🏘

[@RikkiDiaz]

Only you could make me want to eat broccoli so bad right now! LOL! Great selection of banchan Daniel! I'm definitely going to try these. My weakness is rice. I could eat rice all day every day and not get tired of it. Sadly, it goes straight to by hips! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm going to have to start using cauliflower rice as a substitution!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Haha! Yes the rice is probably the worst enemy - haha. Same for us. Let me know how the cauliflower rice is! I want to try some newer, trending recipes ;)

[@thawthawwinhla7754]

All food are so amazing...

[@tinycandypanda]

The chicken one looks like a great one to prep. But I'll be honest the tofu one is probably what I loved the most!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hi Celina! The tofu was my favorite as well. That soy sauce salsa is awesome!!

[@bethgstories]

I super love your videos. Informational and so easy to follow. I'm gonna try everything in this video. ❤️

[@sarahthiess8917]

You guys are so cute together. Keep up the good work.

[@YorozuyaNeesan2010]

That all looked so yummy! I don't think I've ever tried tofu, but the way you said it has a consistency like custard sold it to me ha ha. Awesome and easy to follow along video! ^^

[@FutureNeighbor]

Yea, tofu is misrepresented in popular media. There are many different types of tofu - different firmness. We are using the soft silken type for this one ;) Hope you get to taste it and introduce it to your diet!

[@MM-tw7ce]

New favorite channel😍

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hey M M! Welcome to the neighborhooood! 🏡

[@Baconlikestoplay]

Thnx Daniel for your amazing recipe! I just came across this healthier version of kalbi and I will definitely put it in my meal prep list. 😻😻

[@FutureNeighbor]

Baby BlahBlah Hi Baby! Yea, we started to do meal prepping a few months ago as well.. Try out the sesame broccoli too! Its pairs nicely ;)

[@catladyjai1113]

[@zoejames6625]

Hi!! I just wanna ask, I don’t have to cook the silken tofu?

[@trinitiiluvve2525]

Omg, that tofu dish 💜💜💜 thank you!

[@jae_yt]

I love eating banchan for lunch because I'm doing intermittent fasting so I need to eat balanced diet and since my diet plan is not so specific with what and what not to eat.

[@wansakhiatshabong1560]

this is the best cooking chanel ever so easy and helpful❤

[@FutureNeighbor]

Wow wansakhiat. Thanks for the complement! Am very happy that you find value in them ;) Also, a warm welcome 👋 to the neighorhood 🏡

[@raynellaka7443]

Ok. You can be my future neighbor! Love the foods. Your cooking style is simplistic. Thank you. Keep up the great culinary work!

[@FutureNeighbor]

Oh awesome! Though our yard may consistently smell of fish, bbq and garlic. As long as you don't mind 😆😂😋! Bring the beers and we'll bring a plate of K-BBQ. Woohoo!

[@alifiyahkheriwala1859]

Love all your videos sir

[@jonglivagant]

Hello daniel, i like you channel it so entertaining to watch it. Umm I ant to ask something, whats spices and sauce and oil do you recommend to stored in every beginner kitchen? Thanks you're awesome

[@lisam334]

Glad I found your channel! I love eating sides but never know how long I can store them in the fridge. How long could I store this broccoli side dish? Thank you!

[@LmaoWatchMeStruggle]

"C'mon guys! We're Korean; we don't have desserts!" XD XD XD I'm DED!! XDDD

[@mellodees3663]

It gets me every time. XD

[@fonnthir2826]

Thank you for creating this channel!

[@h.e.9104]

That tofu salad looks amazing! Definitely gonna try that recipe! 😊

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hi Heike! Yeaa - give it shot. Very light on the stomach but packed with flavor ;)

[@faryalsadiqi3130]

Omg I love this! Can you do more of these please?

[@ghosttype3767]

made the tofu salad for dinner tonight and it was insane!! except i used snap peas instead of bell pepper because i cant ever manage to get myself to eat those

[@FutureNeighbor]

Awesome Awesome, Awesome!! Happy that you enjoyed it ghosttype! That little block of tofu is always the first one to disappear from the dining table hehe. 😀

[@abitnajs9479]

I like this so much! I am new here, so maybe a stupid question. Do you eat all the three dishes that you prepared ad once or do you split them to 2 or 3 days? How does this work? Every day 4 new dishes? Thanks :)

[@vannrysak7645]

Love your recipes ☺️

[@MalinaJay]

Can we leave out the sugar? Thank you! I love Korean food!!!

[@cassiebarker718]

can you put the nutrition facts for what you made? it looks amazing

[@cool_spacefrog5740]

Some of these ingredients I am not familiar with, do you think you can reccommend alternative healthy balanced sides based off of thos video? Also thank you for sharing this, it gives me inspiration.

[@manatiluna]

Thank's so much for this one. So much needed right now

[@FutureNeighbor]

My pleasure nana - hope you get a chance to try it out ;)

[@SweetieStrand]

Gotta make this!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@yay4shanghai]

More of these please!

[@hinger25]

I made this today! So damn yummy...I chopped my tofu into rectangles so that the sauce could seep in !

[@fatinamalinarosli5948]

Wow. 😍 can you do more video for diet banchan?

[@madamhummingbird]

Korean diet foods. My new favs

[@musicjunkie7818]

I love this channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@FutureNeighbor]

Thanks - glad you are enjoying it!

[@klaudiagandziarowska2884]

Just found you and looks like I'm gonna come here often haha Subscribed :)

[@FutureNeighbor]

Klaudia G Klaudia! Im happy that you found us~~ were waiting for you in the kitchen ;)

[@kyliejones7201]

gosh, I love your channel

[@GrowingStrength]

Can you make Korean Vegan Banchas? I would like to see what mix of ingredients you do!

[@samandy24]

Thank you soooooo much for the recipes! Kamsahmnida! I have started dieting yesterday since I badly need to lose weight. And I've thought of eating banchan since the variety is pretty healthy, and some soup and protein. I'm glad that I also adore Hansik, and I get to eat it everyday. I hope I push through with this. Haha. I am definitely gonna try these recipes!

[@bangtantv1679]

I really love your all videos. I'm am an Indian. 😊😊

[@670froggie]

Great Video!! I loved everything, except the bell peppers. I hate bell peppers :( Is there any way to substitute it?

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hmm, just skip it! The bell peppers give a nice crunch but tastes great without it as well.

[@TheHekateris]

This is diet food? Just looks like a yummy meal to me!

[@ShojoBakunyu]

How is any of this "Diet Food"? It's all things that I already love.

[@lesleytham9039]

Dan yul.. For diet food.. There is still quite a bit of sesame oil and sugar in the food.. It adds up.

[@ruki4585]

Great Video 🥰🥰🥰

[@reginacarter6064]

Love your channel💕👍

[@bbcreamwin]

Can you store the tofu in the fridge? Or do you have to eat all of it at once?

[@hairumpalomares3203]

Soy sauce salsa!!! Actually tried saying it multiple times. Hahaha! I will try that sauce with the tofu. Your videos are short, but so entertaining!!!

[@FutureNeighbor]

I took like 5 cuts haha! So much editing haha. Sometimes, my mind zones out when I am speaking but trying to cook at the same time

[@hairumpalomares3203]

Future Neighbor I think it what makes you and your channel entertaining to watch. Your humor just adds so much fun to your videos. Great edits btw! 😁 -Oh do you also have recipe for the sweet potato? Or you just kinda just boil and eat it right after?

[@FutureNeighbor]

Hairum Palomares Thanks Hairum!! Very thoughtful~ Oh we have a few good ones when it comes to sweet potatoes. We will share through a video soon

[@hairumpalomares3203]

Future Neighbor Woohoo! I always drool whenever I see koreans eat sweet potatoes like that. Especially from korean dramas. Just peel and munch right away. Hahaha I'll look forward for your sweet potato recipes!!! That's gotta be awesome!
