Korean Royal Court Cuisine

Korean Royal Court Cuisine was enjoyed at the court of the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910. Jia Choi, professor of Korean food studies and C.E.O. of Ongo Food Communications and O’ngo Food Tours, shows us the twelve dishes served as a part of a traditional meal.

Chef Jia Choi, I fell in love with Korean food after spending a year in Korea back in the early 1980s. I stayed at the Kukkiwon Headquarters studying for my advanced ranking in Taekwondo. I've made many of the Korean dishes you have shown. I live in Michigan and there are not many Korean restaurants here. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Korean Royal cuisine, really delicious 😋 amazing dishes thank you ✌🇰🇷🌎🇰🇷😋🤤🙏

[@doldemenshubarti8696]

any country where you can easily access royal version of that nation's food, that country has been completely destroyed or colonized. It's actually not a great thing to be mesmerized by. Examples include Korea, China, France, Spain, Hindustan, Italy anywhere where the original monarch government is destroyed. Places not known for their royal food include countries that were NOT destroyed include, Japan and Britain. Japanese royal cuisine, you have no idea about. Only peasant sushi and some low class fried things and ramen are exposed and paraded as some sort of exotic expensive delicacy. British cuisine is not famous for delicousness despite their VERY royal high class delicacies in palace.

Koreans love balance and mixture of yin and yang. If they eat meats there must be vegetables. If they have a yin food they must have a yang food after it.

[@doldemenshubarti8696]

wtf. no. Since their country united, they didn't have access to HALF the resouces contemporary European nations had, and I'm not even talking about wealthy types, just run-of-the-mill, war-striken Eastern Europe in the 1500s. Cheese and milk was known to ancient Koreans, but they were considered such an extreme and rare resource that they were only served to the king and ONLY the king once a year or once every few years. Korea was "taxed" so to speak, by Imperial China to poverty, and they had to basically ask for permission to even raise an army, and became extremely subserviant and mere money generating state for Imperial China. There was nothing fancy about how Koreans ate and they were mostly vegetarian. The royal court and people living by mountain sides were only ones enjoying any kind of meat on daily basis. Koreans since inception had massive infighting. They were also not homogenous and included ancient steppe folks and Japonic people with language reflecting this. The Korean kings wanted to unite to stop this infighting and stop war and poverty caused by it. A relatively modern concept and honourable on surface. But this "demilitarization" is what caused Korea to become severely weak allowed China to micromanage (Korea had to create their current Korean script in secret so that China would not find out), and subserviant and their culture declined ever since then. It is also why Korea lost to Japan the first time they invaded when Korea could have raised army powerful enough to not only repel, but conquer Japan. (For every one type of sword of Japan, Korea had 10, for every 1 type of armor from Japan, Korea had 4. And at the time, both ship and cannon technology was superior to Japan)

I absolutely love your style. I will watch anything you post!

[@elizabethshaw734]

The King was brought food from all over Korea because he wanted to know what his people ate. When times were tough and the people only had rice that's all the king ate was rice to show that he loved his people.

i find it somehow disturbing and frustrating to watch her pick at the food without eating it.

[@bxnqtxnn.e5338]

Do any of you guys know if they eat dog meat?

[@chromberries7329]

LilySpaceCat! back in the day really rich people would eat gae gogi, dog meat. typically the preferred dog was the korean jindo, a native korean breed (very cute dogs too :-[ ). anyhow, eating dogs back in those days was the same as eating cows or pigs, but was more expensive because dogs are smaller. nowadays, very few people eat dog meat and it's only the ultra rich people. koreans nowadays recognize dogs as friends not food. :^)

[@bxnqtxnn.e5338]

@@chromberries7329 Oh thats good, i saw a picture of dog meat and people eating it.

Go back to your basement.

[@HelloMyNamelsBanana]

I'm just sad that the presentation of the dishes are not as good as actual royal cuisine. Especially the shinsunro which is supposed to be beautiful but I think it's only because they didn't have a high budget.

[@sapphiric]

I'm hungry...

[@mikek1635]

I wish she used the Korean word for raw fish, not Japanese. She should be knowledgeable enough to know.

[@mikek1635]

Cinnamon Carter Why would I use it? I’m not the one making an educational video. You don’t know?

[@jovegajo]

She is making this video for foreigners, and foreigners will not know what the word "Hoe" means. It would have been nice if she said "Hoe, which you may know by the name sashimi"

[@jianhualau]

It is not a big deal bro. She is amazing with her cooking skills.

[@savantianprince]

What is it about raw meat. Doesn't raw meat cause ecoli or some other virus?

[@chromberries7329]

Kim Lowe in korea, beef used for beef sashimi (yukhoe, "you-kay" raw beef) is actually pretty safe meat. they only use the cleanest and freshest meat. it's definitely safer than eating something you got off the shelf at krogers (assuming if you eat it raw)! beef in itself is pretty safe to eat a little undercooked, but stuff like poultry and pork should always be cooked well to prevent food poisoning or bacterial illnesses. yukhoe is actually really delicious. it's really soft and seasoned well, doesn't taste bloody at all, it's basically sushi.

[@최한종-z5e]

I have never been eaten such a cuisines even i'm Korean. Maybe to eat such a cuisine it will take 500-700 dollar.

[@handsomeboy939]

Look like Chinese food and mixed Japanese food.

[@ravenusaugustus7129]

It's not surprising; they are within the same region and exchanged culture all the time. But, the taste of Korean food is unique, though.

[@KoniginSeondeokdieGroevonSilla]

Handsome Boy Stupid boy. Korean food is more unique.

[@Oceanrocks121]

Raw fish isn’t even Japanese food. Raw fish, in fact, originated from China.

[@simantinisinha6604]

MERCY PLEASE. I will throw up now.

[@elizabethlee8271]

I don’t think Korean has over 5000 years history, so the Korean royal meal definitely doesn’t has over 5000 years history.

[@sosuchWOW]

我倒是觉得韩国的历史确确实实有五千年。因为历史长河浩浩汤汤，你方唱罢我方登场。我们国家有些饭店，冬天是火锅店，夏天是烧烤店。无论它卖火锅还是卖肉串，摆放泡菜和配料的免费小料区总是不会变的。
