KOREAN Jajangmyeon SPICY NOODLES in Koreatown & BEST PIZZA in New York!

[@henlolneh]

Potato was definitely a key ingredient in the early traditional jajangmyeon recipes found in Korea. Potatoes only slowly disappeared from restaurant style jajangmyeon due meat prices being affordable for the working class. Any respectable homemade jajangmyeon will always have potatoes as well as some type of beef or pork in the sauce. Just thought I'd drop some knowledge!

[@GuildOfTrespassers]

Potato is native american root plant, so could not be in early traditional recipes found in Korea.

[@HullsColby]

@@GuildOfTrespassers It was introduced back in the 1800.

[@vivihan5021]

Potatoes are a must ❤️

[@GuildOfTrespassers]

@@HullsColby Yep. So not realy "early traditional" in the country with 2000 years of history.

[@GuildOfTrespassers]

Do apologise though, I've just realised that for this particular dish it can be early, as the dish is relatively young.

[@NacogdochesParanormal]

I have been living in the woods for 35 years, and I wouldn't change it for the world! Nothing like the natural sounds to soothe your soul. I love how you told the difference between the different regions way to eat tofu puddings, it's just like grits in the states. Some grew up with it sweet some grew up with it savory. Stay safe sweet pea, and thank you for all that you do. Much love and blessings from Texas.

Hey Mike, the "clover" in your wood trolley is actually an herb called wood sorrel, an edible plant with a distinct lemony flavor. But don't eat too much as some people can have a reaction due to its oxalic acid content.

[@TheDiplomancer]

Mikey should do a video on foraged food!

[@John_P._Buryiak]

@@TheDiplomancer With all of the property he says he has there is probably a lot of it out there. He would need to get a local expert to show him what's what though because it is too easy to make a mistake in identifying what he would be gathering. It would be a great episode to watch.

"These are places where you go inside and they only speak Korean." Places order in Mandarin.

[@jmeister6022]

Lol so true, but a lot of Koreans can read Chinese, so I guess it’s not surprising that some speak mandarin too. So cool!

[@starbomb4091]

that place wasn't authentic its run by mainlanders from china.

[@Drownedinblood]

Majority of the area is heavily Korean though, and there really are places where you won't see english at all, maybe hanja. Knowing mandarin also helps with business since Chinese community is nearby and some live within the Korean area.

[@TheSmokey1523]

Jajangmyen and sweet and sour pork are Chinese Korean cuisine. They are sold by Chinese restaurants in Korea so mandarin speaking is not unusual. There are over a million ethnic Koreans that are mainland Chinese citizens from the north east of China. They are one of the richest ethnic groups in China and in their provinces lots of signs are in both Korean and Chinese.

[@abhijitsen7749]

@@TheSmokey1523 guys it was just my feeble attempt at humor. In the service industry it must be quite common for some ethnicities to know an additional language, depending on the clientele. All good.
