The worst Korean dish is Cheonggukjang; I am generally fine with fermented soybean products like natto for example but cheonggukjang takes the pungency to a new level that is just disgusting. Grand Fromage posted:It lasts a very long time in the fridge. I would throw it out and buy a new one if it's that old, some things aren't worth dying for. You forgot to add vinegar to your flavor category, i.e. mul naengmyun but I'm in agreement that most Korean cooking is just smacking tastebuds with one dominant flavor. Yet, there are a few dishes out there that don't follow the same philosophy: ganjang gaejang, korean sashimi with kenyip (not talking about the flavorless ice-cold sashimi that Koreans for some perverse reason love to eat but I've forgotten the Korean name for it) and yook hwe. There is hope out there for Korean food but maybe David Chang can stop trying to master Japanese dishes (Ippudo is worse than the yattai I found next to the Ikebukuro JR station) and maybe try to instead re-invent Korean dishes.

hallo spacedog posted:Not to be nitpicky but I am fairly sure David Chang doesn't run Ippudo, it's a Japanese run chain store. He owns the Momofuku group of restaurants. Yeah, I meant to say Momofuku Noodle Bar, which was one of the downsides of posting late at night.

kinmik posted:I've made maangchi's japchae about four or five times and can testify that it's pretty good. The leftovers hold up okay; there's a lot of water that leeches out overnight and gathers at the bottom, but I just pour it out. Doesn't seem to affect the taste at all. It usually has a nice crunchy aspect to it; if you prefer kimchi like that, which I also am more fond of, I'm a big fan of gakdugi.

Is it supposed to be that way? I like my kim chi crunchy.
