    Korean BBQ vs American BBQ

    How is a Korean barbecue different from an American barbecue?

    Barbecue is a beloved culinary tradition in many cultures, but the two most popular styles – Korean and American – offer a different experience. Let’s take a closer look at what makes each one unique.

    Korean Barbecue: Social Cooking Experience

    1. Cooking Style and Settings

    Korean barbecue is a communal dining experience where diners grill meat themselves at a table. The restaurant has a built-in grill or portable stove, so you can grill meat yourself.

    Types of meat: Pork belly, seasoned ribs, and sliced beef are popular.

    Seasoning: Meat is often seasoned with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and other spices to give it a sweet and savory taste.
    Grilling: The meat is grilled quickly, and customers turn it over to their liking and cut the pieces.

    2. accompaniment and side dishes

    For Korean barbecue, “banchan” is important, which is eaten with meat.

    “banchan” is a Korean noun that means a variety of dishes to eat with at meals. For example, “banchan,” which is eaten with barbecue, is as follows.

    Ssam: A variety of leafy vegetables wrapped in meat ( lettuce, perilla leaves, etc.)
    Kimchi: Pickled fermented vegetables. It’s basically spicy.
    Vegetable seasoning dishes, such as spinach and bean sprouts.
    Pajeon: Savory pancakes with panna seafood.
    Dipping sauce: Common options include ssamjang (thick and spicy paste) and sesame oil with salt and pepper.

    3. Eating show style

    We focus on making a wrap, known as a wrap. Wrap a piece of grilled meat in leafy vegetables like lettuce or perilla leaves, then add a little bit of rice, a little bit of sauce, and a little bit of banchan for taste and texture.

    American Barbecue: Low and slow perfection

    1. Cooking Style and Settings

    In the U.S., barbecues began with local food cultures, such as the South. The U.S. way is to cook meat slowly at a low temperature. It cooks meat for a long time to make it soft.

    Types of meat: pork, brisket, ribs, chicken, etc
    Smoking Wood: Various trees, such as hickory, mesquite, or apple trees, give meat a unique taste.
    Dry Love and Sauce: Meat is often coated on Dry Love before smoking. Depending on the region, different sauces can be pungent, sweet, spicy, or a combination of these.

    2. accompaniment and side dishes

    American style barbecues are often served with hearty sides that complement the rich, smoky taste of meat.

    Coleslaw: A fresh, crisp salad made with cabbage and dressing.
    Roasted beans: Often run with molasses or brown sugar.
    Cornbread: A slightly sweet, dense bread perfect for sauce.
    Mac and cheese: creamy, greasy, favorite comfort food.

    3. Eating show style

    And,

    American-style barbecues are typically pre-cut and ready to eat. They focus on savoring the flavor of the meat by rubbing it with a sauce.

     

    Korean BBQ vs American BBQ : conclusion

    Korean-style barbecues and American-style barbecues offer delicious experiences that reflect their cultural origins in unique ways.

    Korean barbecue features a combination of seasoned meats and an array of “banchan” (side dishes), creating a vibrant and interactive meal.

    But, American style BBQ are slow-roasted, smoky, and a hearty side dish is attractive.

    Whether you enjoy the fun of grilling at the table or the rich, smoky taste of slow-cooked meat, both styles of barbecue provide something special.

    Bulgogi – One of the most famous Korean foods

    For those looking to explore Korean cuisine in an easy and accessible way, I highly recommend trying out ‘Bulgogi.’ Bulgogi is one of Korea’s most famous meat dishes, featuring thinly sliced beef marinated in a savory-sweet sauce and grilled to perfection. Making bulgogi at home is surprisingly simple and incredibly rewarding.

     

    •  How to cook Bulgogi

    To put it very simply, it’s as follows.

    To start, thinly slice your choice of beef.

    Popular cuts include sirloin or tenderloin. Then, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, minced green onions, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.

    Mix these ingredients thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved. Next, add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated.

    Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat

     

    Once the beef has marinated, heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.

    Place the marinated beef onto the grill, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

    Cook the beef for about 3-5 minutes on each side, flipping occasionally, until it is cooked through and caramelized on the edges.

     

    AND

    Refer to the recipe for jongwon PAIK’s YouTube channel, the most famous Korean restaurant businessman. It explains in detail that even a foreigner can easily make it!

    (It’s a channel that offers various subtitles)

     

    •  How to eat Bulgogi 

    Then, how do Koreans eat this?

    Bulgogi can be enjoyed in many different ways. You can put meat on rice and mix it together in a bowl, or boil it in a pot and eat it in the form of a soup with vegetables and noodles. You can eat it wrapped in raw vegetables such as lettuce in the Korean style ‘sam'(쌈) method. Bulgogi with ssamjang is another good dish for its attractiveness. With some simple ingredients and simple cooking skills, you can bring delicious Korean flavors to your own kitchen.

    So why don’t you try bulgogi? You can give it a try and enjoy it!

  • Korean Mukbang(eating show) YouTube channel recommendation. Best 5

    Korean Mukbang(eating show) YouTube channel recommendation. Best 5

    A ‘mukbang’ is a popular online content genre, originating from South Korea, where hosts eat large amounts of food while interacting with their audience through live streaming or pre-recorded videos.

    The term is a combination of the Korean words for ‘eating’ (먹는) and ‘broadcast’ (방송). Mukbang videos often feature various types of cuisine, ranging from traditional Korean dishes to international favorites like pizza and burgers. Viewers tune in to watch the hosts enjoy their meals, sometimes providing commentary on the food’s taste, texture, and appearance.

    Mukbangs have become a cultural phenomenon, attracting millions of viewers worldwide and even spawning dedicated eating celebrities.

    The appeal of mukbang lies in its ability to satisfy viewers’ cravings vicariously and provide companionship for those eating alone. Critics, however, raise concerns about overeating, food waste, and the promotion of unhealthy eating habits. Despite the controversies, mukbang continues to thrive as a form of entertainment and social connection in the digital age.

    korean BBQ – 삼겹살

     

    요즘 세계에서 한국 BBQ 가 주목 받고 있습니다. 특히 한국에서 가장 흔하게 구어먹는 고기가 바로 ‘삼겹살’ 입니다.  

     

    • ‘삼겹살’(samgyeopsal) 은 무엇일까요? 

    ‘삼겹살’은 돼지의 뱃살 부분을 명칭 하는 한국어 입니다. ‘삼겹살’은 풍부한 지방층으로 인해 요리할 때 매우 부드럽고 육즙이 풍부합니다. 삼겹살은 다른 나라에서도 먹는 돼지고기 부위이지만 한국에서는 그 소비량이 매우 많습니다.

    돼지의 뱃살 부위로 고기와 지방이 섞여있습니다. 직접 구워 먹는 한국식 바베큐로 불판에 익힌 삼겹살은 겉은 바삭하고 속은 부드럽고 육즙이 풍부합니다. 여러 나라에서 소비하는 베이컨과 같은 부위입니다만 삼겹살은 다른 맛이 납니다. 삼겹살은 돼지 육고기와 풍미 가득한 지방이 균형을 이루고 있어 최고의 맛을 선사합니다.

     

     

    • ‘삼겹살’을 한국에선 어떤 방법으로 먹나요? 

    Pork belly samgyeopsal 

    1. 불판에 구어서 충분히 다 익힌 후 바로 먹습니다 (식탁에 불판이 올라가는 것이 한국식의 특징입니다)
    2. 상추나 깻잎 과 같은 채소에 고기와 밥 등을 싸먹는 ‘쌈’ 이라는 방법을 사용합니다.
    3. 고기를 찍어먹는 소스는 주로 소금, 쌈장 등 을 활용합니다. 
    4. 곁들여 먹는 반찬들은  파 무침, 겉절이, 장아찌, 양파 절임, 계란찜, 된장찌개 등 이 있습니다
      그 외에도 다양한 한식 반찬들과 함께 먹습니다. 
    5. 고기를 구울 때 불판에 김치, 마늘, 버섯, 미나리 등을 함께 구어 먹습니다. (구운 김치와 마늘이 가장 대중적인 조합!) 

     

     

     

    • 삼겹살의 맛 (먹방) 

     

    불판에서 기름이 빠진 삼겹살은 쫄깃하면서도 고소한 맛이 납니다. 

    갓 구운 삼겹살을 쌈장에 찍고, 상추에 올린 후, 

    파절이나 마늘을 올리고 밥을 넣어서 한입에 먹어보세요. 재료들이 조화롭습니다. 

    아래의 영상을 보면 삼겹살의 매력을 느낄 수 있습니다.

    삼겹살은 한국에서도 다양한 방식으로 소비되고 있습니다. 구리외에도 탕이나 찜 형태로도 먹습니다. 하지만 그 중 가장 사랑받는 방식은 직접 구어먹는 BBQ 방식으로 먹는 것입니다.
