Tofu is not a meat substitute, it is its own thing that is eaten for its own flavor.

Was this really necessary? I just looked back at the thread and seem to have missed the posts where "white people" argued that tofu is only used as a meat substitute.

Am I not getting the emails from White People HQ?!

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Hey thread, while drinking waay too much and eating sundubu-jigae (however it's spelled) with my Korean roommates yesterday, one of them showed me a clip from a 2012 commercial, and he's trying to figure out which song starts about halfway through. He insists it's Korean, which wouldn't really put me in a position to help him, but it really sounds like English. Anyone remember that commercial, or possibly that song, by any chance?

Shazam doesn't really help due to the gentlemen ranting on about stuff halfway through, so any other ideas to identify the song, or even what exactly those lyrics in the short bit are, would help. Cheers!

Is gim usually the seaweed (apparently not a seaweed???) added to bibimbap? When I've had it at a restaurant before it's had some seaweed on it but I can't remember if it was that.

Is gim used as a garnish? I've got 8 packets of the roasted with sesame oil stuff so I need to find ways to use it. It's tasty - very savory and slightly oceanic.

Yes and yes! Gim is just nori, the same as sushi seaweed.

Gim is good on:

Pasta with butter!

And it ain't half bad on a hot dog, neither.

By raspberry vinegar, do you by any chance mean bokbunja?

I just recently tried bokbunja and I'm not sure that's it- The menu lists it as a shrub, so there's gotta be vinegar somewhere, and I've seen "drinking" vinegar at the local Korean market in similar flavors so I figured that could be it.

The drinking vinegars are basically shrubs. With 흑식초 instead of white wine vinegar or apple cider. Have a raspberry shrub and you're set.

Does the traditional onggi perform better at making kimchi than other vessels? I'm interested in getting a nice fermentation vessel, but I need to figure out what kind to get first. There's the onggi, western european crocks (which have an airlock seal), and modern jars fitted with fermentation airlocks.

The internet claims onggi have some kind of porous structure which aids in fermentation, but I can't tell if that actually does anything.

I'd be making kimchi/kkakdugi/sauerkraut just for myself, so I don't need anything too big.

Nationalist nonsense. Get one if you think they're cool but not because it's any different than any other kind of jar. There's locking plastic tupperware box things made in Korea that most people use. They have a good lock and seal to keep the kimchi smell inside.

Not nationalist nonsense entirely. Properly made (and expensive) onggi are porous and in theory store bacteria and mold for different things so you wouldn't want to switch between makgeolli, kimchi, and doenjang. A lot are made with non porous glaze so if you don't want to keep it active to keep up the bacteria and keep it from drying out and keep it outside or somewhere away because of smell and the need to keep it cool then get a glass or nice plastic container.

I went on a foraging run recently and came away with an entire basket full of few flowered leek. Decided to give it a shot in my first home made kimchi and holy poo poo did it turn out delicious. I used this recipe with the ramps substituted with few flowered leek (and like every recipe I follow ended up tweaking stuff on the fly).

Ok, thanks for the info! I'll probably either get some western-style one done by an artisan state-side or one of those plastic tub ones. I like the look of the onggi but I won't try real hard to find a good one.

Also, I'd never heard of few flowered leek. Does it taste leeky?

Antagonist: A bad man who drops things from the windows.
Found half a jar of kimchi in the back of my fridge. Best guess is it's between 12-18 months old. Smells fine, looks fine, and texture seems about the same as I remember from around last fall. Reading this thread I feel confident that I won't die if I eat it but I wanted to double check here.

Thoughts?

Probably fine, might be too sour (but some people like it better that way)

As long as you don't see/smell any mold you're good

Yep. If it's not moldy and hasn't turned into some sort of weird slimy liquid it's fine.

I went to a kbbq place and had soybeans in gochujang but it was more sweet than it was spicy, and I couldn't stop eating it. Mixed well with the salad too.

Mild how? Sweet and not especially spicy is how it normally is. I have not noticed any real taste differences between brands, it's quite standardized.

Sounds like regular gochujang to me. Do you usually find it too spicy? You can try mixing in a bit of sesame oil, if it is.

Straight gochujang on a salad seems overwhelming. I can't recall seeing anything like that before, but you could try to mix with soy sauce, oil, vinegar, a bit of sesame oil, maybe a touch of miso and get a decent dressing.

If you like straight gochujang, trying eating it on some fresh tofu. It's gooood.

On the subject of overwhelming gochujang, my boyfriend last week used an entire goddamn tub to make soondubu jjigae.

While technically still edible, it was not a rendition lending itself to eager slurping.
