/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I just jarred up about 5,5lbs of homemade kimchi and I had spicy chicken and onion stirfry, bean-paste-braised eggplant, spicy cucumber salad and white rice for lunch, all homemade.
Now I'm at a loss for what to make for dinner.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese, I guess.

>Not using Korean chopsticks for Korean food
Philistine

I like gook hotpot more than the jap version. Japs aren't big on sauces.

>>12055816
I grew up around Cambos. Khmer hot pot is the bees knees. It's called yahan or something like that. Fucking magical.

>bibimbop
Haha say that out loud guys

>>12055748
Nothing wrong with that, although fresh kimchi before it ferments is great as a side dish too, more like a spicy salad. Eat it with your tomato soup and grilled cheese.

So do you mix this all up? How do you eat this

>>12056427
>how to make warm water
Fucking hell Maangchi. That looked really good until she cut it in half and kept calling the bread fluffy, which it clearly wasn't. Would still impregnate.

I use to live next to this asian fusion restaurant that served tteokbokki with sirloin and bok choy but apparently they stopped serving it because too many people complained it wasn't actually tteokbokki since they didn't slather it in spicy red sauce and serve it with nothing. I've tried to make it at home a few times but it never comes out the same

Korean BBQ, cold noodles, kimchi -- those are good.

bibimbibop is shit

I hope jjampong never makes it big. I can get a huge bowl for like $8 at my local Chinese-Korean restaurant. Like bringing friends here and blowing their minds.

Honorable mention for jajangmyeon

someone watches beat bobby flay

>>12056639
Korean here, "royal" tteokbokki is a thing ya know.

>>12056639
Cheese ones are the best.

>>12056497
I don't know. I like to eat it all separately only mixing the egg into the rice underneath. And also hot sause.

>>12056907
Based jam bhong brother. Do you like doobu kimchi?

>>12057171
way to fuck up senpai

>>12055521
>>12056639
>>12056651
>>12057163
why arent they more popular?
they should be easy to make as Panda Express

>>12055772
This. Korean stainless chopsticks and that same exact fucking spoon are steampunk aesthetic as fuck

>>12057522
pls no bully. I also always wonder whether I should eat the rice with the sticks or with the spoon. tough choices.

>>12055521
Only problem is Korean pussy smells like kimchi.

>>12056422
giv smol chubby korean cooking mommy

회 with a few bottles of soju is probably my favorite meal in the world
>>12056639
yeah your fav dish got robbed by faggots who have narrow insight into korean dishes. as >>12056987 said thats a separate type of 떡볶이

reminder that chinese chopsticks are the best because they're the longest and squarest.

>>12057976
>mfw when didn't even know Chinese/Korean/Japanese chopsticks were different

>>12055521
it's too expensive unless you make it at home

>>12055816
>>12055868
Szechuan hot pot is better

gook slop can't even come close to other asian cuisines.

>>12057987
has to do with their culinary tradition
-chinese eats lots of noodles and share dishes, so the chopsticks are longer than thicker to give better reach and allow you to pick up more noodles
-japanese eat lots of fish, so the tips are angled to allow you to pick out bones and meat.
-korean are usually flat and made of steel or silver, so it doesn’t roll off the table and is less wasteful of natural resources like timber (considering korea’s climate)

FUCK OFF fucking koreaboos, why don't you go masturbate to your kpop garbage

>tfw parents live across the world and i cant have mom's homemade korean food regularly anymore
miss you mom..

I work as a dishie at a korean restaurant. I have free endless access to korean food. pretty comfy. I had steak tartare my last shift

>>12058031

>>12058066
16 plus tips

>>12058025
Oh. That's very educational thanks.

>>12055521
My local korean is shit though.
What's that dish where they put squid in a pastry dough. Had that last time and there was too much pastry.

>>12058067
dish fags don't make tips

>>12058067
dishwashers don't make tips you liar
fr*g off

>>12058075
>>12058087
tips are distributed salty foh

>>12058091
literally nowhere
you also don't make 16
dishies get minimum

>>12058108
well shit. I guess my entire life is a lie then. when I look in the mirror do I see myself?

>>12058075
>>12058087
>>12058108
lol look at these losers

>>12058108
It's even worse, asians barely pay others of their weird subtype properly, they wouldn't pay a foreigner as much. He's lying.

>>12058108
I work in Canada

>>12058108
>he works minimum

>>12058133
so you really make $12/hr?
>>12058145
no, dishies make minimum
i make 90k/yr because i got out of the restaurant business and get to shitpost 50% of the time at work

>>12058176
you do realize that wages aren't set right?

>>12058183
you do realize dishies are the most replaceable position in an industry where every job is extremely easy to replace right?

>>12058195
that doesn't disprove the fact, retard

>>12058196
>e-excuse me chef, i've been here for 6 months and could really use some extra cash... don't you think it's time for a raise?
>i'll schedule you for an extra hour on friday
>th-thanks

>uhm... chef, i've been working here for a year and could really use a raise
>have you talked with any of the prep cooks to find out what they do?
>n-no, i just keep my head down and do my job
>come back to me when you learn how to prep and we'll talk about a raise

it's almost as though you've never worked in a real kitchen
does your dad own the restaurant?

>>12058208
why are you so salty, nigga. I started off with 16 cad. my boss worked as a dishie and "understand the job"
no i'm not family. I just applied and been working there for a while now. why is the idea of not being paid shit and not having a shit boss so foreign to you?

>>12058228
of course your boss worked as a dishie
all chefs have
dishies aren't worth anything more than minimum - your boss is retarded

>>12058235
actually so mad another guy is getting paid alright for a shitty job. get over it bro its not like he's stealing your money

>>12058235
lol ok. you believe in so many absolutes. I hope you don't put this much salt into the food you make

>>12058245
I'm not mad. I just think he's lying. I worked in the industry for years before leaving because literally every position has shit pay, even in big cities.

>>12058250
if a position is 100% replaceable with a literal downy, it's not worth more than minimum

>>12058254
and you said you have a good job now. lets say the dude is lying, who cares? just keep on making your 90k and be glad you never have to go back into food service again bro

>>12058254
minimum wage where I live will just be shy off 1 cad by 2021 lol. damn your experience with the industry must've been absolute shit to be this salty.

>>12058263
it was actually pretty fantastic for when i was young
and i didn't feel compelled to lie about it on /ck/

>>12058280
imagine being a 90k+ baller and getting this upset over someone making 2 dollars over minimum wage

>>12058283
imagine thinking this is upset

Naengmyeon, anyone?

>>12058380
비냉>물냉 but cant wait for summer to hit so i can enjoy them to their full potential

>>12056651
>>12058380
What are these? Cold noodels? Never tried it, is it good?

>>12059746
Yes, cold noodles. >>12058387 are also cold noodles. I love both, but I grew up with them so I'm a biased judge.

i love korean food and bi bim bop is my least favorite korean dish
i hate eggs and raw uncooked food
i love chap chae
i love bul gogi
i love their short ribs
but not bi bim bop

>>12055521
I love Korean boys

>>12059958
MODS

>>12059967
he is 26

>>12060021
Are you sure that's a "he"?

I like Korean food as prepared by Koreans in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Very rustic and an ironically good fusion food between 2-4 civilizations.

>>12055772
>>12057528

Traditional Korean chopsticks have always been wooden ones that are similar length to Japanese chopsticks.

The iconic stainless steel chopsticks, spoons, bowls, and cups you see everywhere in Korea today is a result of President Park encouraging the growth of S. Korean industrialization in the 1960s and 70s.

>gulp

>>12055816

Korean hotpots or jjigae in general are made to be eaten everyday and for every conceivable meal situation, whereas Japanese hotpot is given a bit more occasion.

>>12058021
The rank smell of Szechuan hotpot alone makes it a distant 3rd at best.

>>12060502
Why is that considered Korean? Isn't it just fried chicken?

>>12060522
korean fried chicken has a crispier skin and usually uses different sauces. also the pickled radish squares are wa-la

I like this. 새우볶음밥
In my local Korean restaurant it's served with side dishes and seaweed soup, great lunch.

>>12060532
I see I'll try it then. I always thought what might be interesting in a regular chicken? And never picked it.

>>12060542
yeah i mean it gets memed and a bit overhyped but its quite good. desu though any fried chicken tastes great with light beer
>>12060534
its not fried rice but next time see if the place has 돌솥비빔밥. that shit is usually great

>>12060552
>its not fried rice
Really? I just copied the name from their digital menu. Maybe I chose a wrong pic to go with it. Thanks I'll look for the thing you suggested.

>>12060600
oh sorry your menu item is fried rice, i meant my suggestion isnt! youre right
