How To Make Gimbap with Momofuku’s Eunjo Park

[@eyeballs306]

First grade my mom made me gimbap, to me hers are the best and always perfect and pretty. But I’ll never forget this kid who pretended he was interested and asked for a piece and then threw it on the ground yelling “eww gross!” It messed me up for years about eating Korean food in public. All this to say im so thankful for ppl like Eunjo, David Chang and others for introducing the world to our cuisine. Many have come before and many will keep coming…just thankful for some respect and representation.

[@wonseob07]

Hey I’m so sorry you had to go through this, but also proud that things are changing. I had a similar experience and the harasser went on to eat his pickled eggs in the cafeteria I laughed it off at the end of it. BUT I don’t want my children to experience this as I will try my best to pass on my heritage and culture. Hope everyone can feel the same way :)

[@cliffc3673]

relate to this story real hard. If I'm honest, i'm a little bitter about the popularity of korean food only bc there are a ton of people who pretend they've loved it all along and preach on about authenticity yadda yadda. I wouldn't be surprised if that mean kid in your class is one of the aforementioned people now. Pettiness aside, it feels nice to not be on the defensive while eating basic ass shit like kimbap or japchae (or anything).

[@Rirruto]

For some reason I'd like to think that kid might still remember this same exact moment and regrets ever doing it eating them up inside

[@Brandon-ei3vo]

wow thats so crazy! i had a similar experience where i was in 7th grade and i brought gimbap for lunch, and some kid kept dumped his pudding all over my food. I was so angry i punched him in the face and got suspended. My principal told my father that i am lucky to be asian and not a black or a-rab.

[@nuggert]

Honestly, kids are just rude sometimes. Kids do this to each other in Korea, too.

[@inuyashaspet]

This woman is no joke. Behind her soft voice is a season-hardened, multinationally trained chef with the experience and skillset of a surgeon.

Surgeons can't cook. They are known for precision. Very weird comparison lol

[@LIZALIZALIZABETH]

This dish is possibly one of the most sentimental dishes to all Korean children. I remember being so embarrassed and infuriated to explaining the difference of gimbap and sushi to my non Asian peers.. thank you for starting the video on that note and explaining the difference!

[@JH-bb8in]

It's actually a traditional dish in Harbin, China - wish the chef had given proper credit :( Just saying

[@sailorkisser]

@@JH-bb8in Pretty sure you're wrong. Kimbap is the strictly Korean take on Japanese sushi introduced during colonial times mixed with the fillings used in ssam (Korean style rice meat veggies wrapped with cabbage or lettuce). While many cultures can have similar cusine, it is Korean with direct influence from Japan, not China

[@Wetknees]

(Whiteboy from Texas) I was having such a hard time finding the actual difference between Korean and Japanese sushi even as far as just ingredients. And she did it in under a minute ❤️

[@bushidobrown9857]

Eunjo Park is an absolute monster in the kitchen 😍

[@HeidiHan]

Mum waking up early to roll kimbap on school field trip days and leaving the ends (the best bits) for breakfast... She couldn't have explained it more perfectly ♡

[@AerysBat]

Eunjo Park is a seriously skilled chef, awesome to learn so much and see a recipe with brand new ideas

[@JPzizou]

She so calm and explains everything. Such a nice person. 🤗

[@LindsayDaly]

I was introduced to gimbap in high school - some of my Korean classmates would eat it in their dorm rooms as a snack, I vividly remember sitting on the floor with my friend Michelle, using the seaweed in our hands as a little mitt to scoop some microwaved rice out of the container, and adding a squirt of Sambal - a very 'low maintenance' gimbap, lol. It's been too long!

[@ashmaagu9448]

I love Eunjo she is so clear with instructions.I want her to be a regular please!

[@Jim-z2s]

Let her be regular at Munchies. I really liked her explanations overall. Yes, there is no sugar added to the rice in gimbap, and you'll be indeed surprised how much sugar goes into sushi rice. Gimbap, in my opinion, has a unique flavor and taste that harmonize with a variety of fillings (typically at least 4-5 different fillings).

[@ridhuanothman3443]

Since when people add sugar to sushi rice???

[@kakuella]

@@ridhuanothman3443 some do. Also some legion only use light vinegar and salt. Eitherway, the point is sushi use vinegar and kimbap use salt and sesame oil

[@NamChin846]

@@kakuella yes and sushi means sour tasting rice I think? so sushi has nothing to do with kimbap! people always ask "oh is it sushi?!?" nooooo this is kimbap! different! no raw fish!

[@lono1596]

i would say most add sugar to sushi rice and also some sushi vinegars have sugar already added to them

[@viktorcheng2061]

People seem to get confused when the see rice on seaweed.

the veggie kimbap and salmon version is a nice iteration on fusion kim bap but would love to see chef park's take on regular kim bab with tteok bokki or gomma kimbap. To me thats what kimbap is all about not the habenero sauce and soy marinade salmon pieces with horse radish sauce.

These two kimbaps are very unique. To all international people watching this, watch maaangchi's or Future Neighbour's kimbap and u'll see more common ones.
