hi everyone we're in Busan South Korea we're on the search literally on the
search for Gukbap, Gukbap is the traditional it's an ox bone or sometimes
pork bone soup a really rich traditional soup now there are quite a few places
around here serving it but they look a bit too touristic we're gonna try and
find a real authentic Gukbap to share with you so come on let's get looking
there are a flood of restaurants around here hundreds there are markets fish
stalls you think it would be easy to find we're struggling because there's a
lot of Korean barbecue places a lot of fish places but I can't find a real sort
of mom-and-pop Gukbap store oK we've come to what I can only describe as the
the bus station here and apparently these stores along here are fairly
famous for Gukbap so now we've got to do is find one that we like the look off so
got a menu here this is the beef soup with rice the clotted ox blood stew with
rice beef pudding beef and noodles in clotted ox blood and noodles
not spicy the gukbaphas a real history in Busan it's sort of a traditional
local would you call it peasant food or local food and it goes back to the sort
of history of Busan after the occupation there were a lot of refugees in this
area this was the food that they ate so I think we're gonna give this place a
try stock boiling this is like .................
this one is ...............turns it oxblood this is the clotted ox ox
blood here beautiful and this one this ............
that is nice that looks so good huh the ladies got it going there big pot of
broth lovely this is the beef gukbap yeah it's good tastes good tastes good
yeah looks good and it's very good I think we found the right place this
looks really nice so you know we're in order I'm not sure exactly what we're in
order would take a bit of advice so we should start that gukbap now it comes
either with the noodles or with the rice what are you going to have Michele wants the
beef noodles I want the beef rice now that rice the way they cook this stock
combining the right sort of levels of stock and the right levels of the
cooking of the rice is probably important but again is local as
traditional food simple and delicious now don't know if it's table service I
just got into trouble ladies very angry with me I'm not doing it right
thank you I'm not doing it right I've been scolded by mum okay we've got
some little bowls and there's some chili is the paste here this is I think a
shrimp paste isn't it and then you're gonna have a sort of combination of
different kimchi's we're in Korea so we've got the the kimchi we've got the
pickled radish here and got some spicy greens
I love the kimchi here is so good these are different they're not all called
kimchi they have their own particular names I particularly like this this
radish one I'll try and find the name for it beautiful look at that it's
gorgeous and then we've got that rice thank you
I'll try and get this lady she's so sharp and you can that's the rice one
yes now this is Michelle's this is actually
the this is beef and noodles how beautiful is that
so we've got this the sauce this red pepper sauce on top of this beautiful
broth so you take that one Michelle now this is mine slightly smaller Bowl but
I've got the the cooked rice to go with it and assumptive
keeping little yolks with us what did they appear those about okay so we got
something like a little yeah called a yogurt drink here
mr. drink everyone else is drinking it okay you got to look round two other
people are doing so let's tuck in before I get into any
more trouble gonna start with this pickled radish and
it looks like it might be a little bit hot but it's not a little bit of spice
but nothing nothing too hot it's not know what to do think now I think the
rice is meant to go in to the soup just come down here so that this beautiful
broth we've got this it's very tender beef put cinnamon here I've got um this
pace a little try and see what this paste is like so it's a it is a little
bit spicy sauce creamy paste we're gonna add that middle into my soup
now beans talk to the other patrons here and apparently we do put the rice in
with the broth back so let's go for it so I'm gonna keep a
little bit of the rice down now this is a looks like a medium grain or long
grain rice
now there's a nice bit of beef and I had a little more but this son shrimpy sort
of fish sauce and I had a bit bit of chili in there as
well now this looks like the cucumber chilies I don't think they're hot but I
could be wrong let me see if I can combine some of the
beef some of that lovely stop he goes oh
so tender coming the beep has just melted on the mouth you're so good not
spicy not spicy but we really rich food really delicious
I've got bean sprouts in here I've got this beautiful kimchi great core what a
good place now Michelle speak back is a different Bowl to get a much bigger bowl
but she's got noodles in with it I've got a swimming pool at suit she'll get
herself um sorted while I try this chili hot or not I'm gonna go through
hot ish not a little bit hot
that's cabbage noodles down mmm there's my noodles here's my new goes good so we
have basically a very similar dish reminds with rice Michels with noodles I
think next time I go for the noodles a bigger dish the steamed
let me get another a piece of that beautiful deep let's see this it melts
so good so goose Han gook back highly recommended okay I'm going for
Michelle's next time no that's a that's a bean sprout top on top of all that
we've got this gorgeous kimchi here as well
yes I've got a big mouth kimchi
so yummy slightly vinegary like a sort of pickled
cabbage grab myself a bit of beef to follow down yum yum
now let's get some of that broth rich delicious get a bit of that we thin with
the broth a bit of a bit of that beef him with the Prophet can't say about
Michele proof for the pudding finishing it off cleaning the bowl out I've got to
build up my strength does the bother takes the battle-ax on
the way out I'm not sure she's gonna treat me kindly
now I polished mine off Michele on the other hand is struggling it's a big bowl
I am helping none trust me are you ready I got it I've got to get
out of here in one piece really good by the way and we'll trauma the details up
but um you gotta feel your way through like a there were a few people to sort
of help me so that was good and where do you pay I'll I get wrestled to the floor
on the way out I love all did she look happy
she didn't look happy
thank you
thank you so it's good good experience 12,500 won
I'll put the price on the screen I'm getting my head swimming with currencies
and figures at the moment but this is the place and I think that's 48 years
but I don't think that equates to the same we set out with a mission we've
achieved it I hope you enjoyed it share the love take care and we'll see you for
another video very shortly Michelle was saying we came out came away with the
little Yakult all yogurt drinks as well so with our kimchi big play the kimchi I
had and that beautiful broth will have really healthy flora in our guts bye -
