Korean Main Dishes

AYE!

It's Wednesday so here's some Korean Main dishes coming your way!

Bibimbap

The name literally translates to "mixed rice", and it's basically a hot bowl of white rice topped with various vegetables, sliced meat, and a fried egg. It's meant to be stirred up right before eating so all the flavors can mix and mingle. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

Learn how to make your very on in the video below!

When it comes to the list of smiles I want to protect, Seonkyoung longest is definitely within my top ten. Not only is this woman gorgeous, she's cute, funny, and one hell of a great chef! I personally love her channel and she's taught me how to make quite a few Asian dishes, which I am very thankful for. 

Her videos are visually appealing and easy to follow. Many close ups of food are also included. Please, check her out! She's wonderful!

Korean Fried Chicken AKA Dakgangjeong

Guys.

This chicken is double fried.

DOUBLE FRIED!!!

Now before we take our heartburn medication let me explain, the chicken is seasoned with various spices, and lightly battered. After being fried twice the skin is crunchier and even LESS greasy than American fried chicken. It is finally coated with sauce (your choice) before being served. 

I am a huge fan of Korean Fried Chicken myself and from my experience, it has always been crunchier on the outside and jucier on the inside than other styles of fried chicken. Definitely give this one a chance.

Maangchi is honestly so adorable and captivating. She looks cute in pretty much every video she makes. But fashion choices aside, she makes great cooking videos as well. Check out her channel if you want to explore more Korean Recipes!

Bulgogi

Now this one translates to "fire meat" because the marinated meat, usually pork or beef, is cooked on a barbecue or griddle. Sounds simple, but aren't those the best things in life?

Jia Choi is a sweet woman and does an awesome job in showing you how to make your own bulgogi. The crisp chopping, and sweet sizzling sounds of this video make trigger your ASMR senses, so that's a possible plus! Check out this channel to see more chefs and recipes!

And that's it for today folks! Hope you enjoyed the dishes we talked about today and remember to follow us to keep up with our latest posts! Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Vietnamese Main Dishes

Let's jump right into it!

Bún riêu

This is a traditional Vietnamese meat, rice vermicelli soup this is often served with tomato broth and freshwater crab. It is also topped with various garnishes such as spearmint, bean sprouts, scallions and so much more. Learn how to make it in the video below!

Gotta be honest here, Tammy's voice is more on the quiet side so you might want to turn up the volume on this one. On the bright side, you get a good look at how the dish is made with plenty of foodnographic close up shots. Her recipe is also easy to follow as well, so check out the rest of her channel!

Bún thịt nướng

This pretty much translates to vermicelli with grilled meat, and LORD, it is delicious. What I love most about this dish is how filling, yet light it is. You get all the flavor from the grilled pork and fish sauce, but you also get the fresh, crisp taste of all the fresh herbs mixed into it. Put it all together and you get a dish that fresh, flavorful, and fragrant with every bite!

Oof-

Japanese Main Dishes

Okay y'all, it was REALLY hard to pick which dishes to feature since there are so many to choose from! But after some deep thinking, we decided to choose three; tsukemen, dragon roll sushi, and my personal favorite, katsu curry. So let's jump right in!

Tsukemen

Also known as dip-ramen, it is exactly as the name implies; ramen noodles that are meant to be eaten after being dipped in a separate bowl of soup. The noodles could be served cold or at room temperature, while the soup is served hot. The soup also serves as a dipping sauce for the noodles as it is much more concentrated in flavor compared to standard broth. Anyways, enough rambling, the video below does a much better job of explaining! :p

So a little bit about the video, Mike Chen shares his experience of eating tsukemen at the Taishoken Ramen Shop. The video is fun, informative, and makes your mouth water as he goes into detail about how the food tastes. Also, there are some beautiful close up shots of the dish.

Dragon Roll Sushi

Look at it.

Look at how glorious that sushi roll is.

Alright, now time for some facts; a dragon roll is basically an inside out sushi roll where the rice and fish are wrapped outside the seaweed. There are many variations of the dragon roll, but believe me when I say that they're all delicious.

Okay, so you've seen how epic this dragon roll is, now you can learn how to make it!

In this video, Chef Davy Devaux shows you how to make this beautiful dragon roll. This guy an self taught, sushi enthusiast who makes easy to to follow tutorials. Also, his accent is very pleasant to listen to. Check out his Youtube channel for more sushi recipes!

Katsu Curry
