In Korea, you're gonna notice a lot of stands like this.
-
Now this is where they're gonna sell a lot of street food
-
and it's not just the hot dogs and sausages that we're used to from North America.
-
[music]
-
This is a full meal.
-
[roar!]
-
[music]
-
So if you're feeling snackish and you don't need a whole meal
-
you can come in and get some odeng, which is just pressed fish cake
-
on a stick
-
and when you order dokbokki. Okay. So, over here,
-
dokbokki. Okay? Mmm, it's a much heartier meal. So you'll be pretty full.
-
And I want to show you over here the proper names.
-
[music]
-
So this is called Twigum. We have yatchae, kimaree, ojingo, gogoma, and mandu.
-
And if you want a snack you can have some kimbap.
-
"Dokbokki dugay jusayoh. Ahh.
-
Twigum doogay.
-
Yatchae, gimaree, gogoma.
-
Hago mandu, gogoma, gimaree.
-
Neh!"
-
So this delicious piece of food here is kimaree,
-
and on the inside you have the same noodles used for japchae,
-
so it's like a sweet potato noodle and it's wrapped in seaweed
-
and then wrapped in batter and fried.
-
And it may not sound too great right now, but it is really, really delicious.
-
Then you have, this is kogi mandu.
-
So it's just meat and noodles...
-
it's been basically like a dumpling that's been deep fried.
-
Also really delicious.
-
And gogoma is just sweet potato.
-
And Korea has an abundance of sweet potatoes, and they're really, really good.
-
And healthy for you!
-
And the only difference with yours, Simon, is...
-
(yatchae) yatchae,
-
which is covered in sauce. It's just basically vegetables
-
that have been battered and fried together.
-
So if you do order some dokbokki and twigum
-
you can help yourself to some odeng mul.
-
It's just the actual broth from the odeng,
-
but usually it has like onions, and crab legs
-
and other really delicious things.
-
So then, right in the middle here you have Soondae,
-
which is basically like a,
-
same japchae noodles mixed with a little bit of meat
-
and put into sausage casing and steamed.
-
So, it's really, really delicious,
-
and you could also get sometimes liver and other...animal...organs
-
with it as well. I've had lung before...
-
which I didn't enjoy. But I did enjoy the liver!
-
Now! Here's one of the best parts about dokbokki:
-
see this ten thousand won? Watch what happens with it.
-
It's happening...wait...
-
gamsahamnida!
-
Four thousand won back! Essentially, Martina and I
-
are both completely stuffed, and it only cost us six thousand won.
-
Now look at the currency exchange rate; that's, five bucks maybe?
-
For both of us to be completely full.
-
Now that's a good deal.
-
Dokbokki can be very, very spicy.
-
What do you want to do now Simon?
-
I don't know. Maybe we could SHAZAAAAAAAAAAAM!
-
[music]
-
So today we're gonna take you to order some blaaaaaahhh!
