Hi guys welcome to our channel, welcome to another episode. Today we're going to be doing something
special something very dear to my heart. So i was born and grew up in Seoul, South Korea.
I graduated college there, and i didn't come to the United States until 2006. Well that's
when i met Josh and we kind of went back and forth. In 2012 we settled in the United
States until we decided to move to Spain. So i lived out of Korea for a while now, right so
when you're living outside of Korea for so long anytime i find the great authentic Korean cuisine
that makes me super excited. So today here in Valencia in Ruzafa neighborhood, there's a
restaurant called La Taula de Yun, i'm gonna take you guys there so let's go!
so
all right so we're inside um this is a very small restaurant. So a reservation is a must you can either
call them and you can make a reservation through their instagram i'll put a link down below.
They have the small menu
it's not a big menu but everything in here is really good so we're going to order some food and
see you soon. Okay so look at these side dishes we got two different kind of kimchi so this is um
so this is a fresh kimchi it doesn't go to the fermenting process
this right here this is a regular kimchi, which does go through the fermenting process.
What we have here is kimchi-jeon so little kimchi pancake like mini ones so cute, and there's a
dipping sauce. Then we have some i don't exactly know what this is but i think the
some sort of a tofu i believe is but it's in the made in the mustard tangy sauce. We have here
in korea it's called a narcotic gimbap, why because it's so addictive
so we have a two other main dishes coming but we're gonna try some of this gimbap first.
Make sure you put in the dipping sauce
freshly toasted everything inside it has a yellow radish carrot eggs and actually i think
i buy it all into it but it has a spinach in it delicious i'm so happy let me try some kimchi
and try some kimchi
this is fresh
and the regular kimchi
when you live outside of Korea ,kimchi is very complex dish this is hard to make so whenever
i find good kimchi outside of Korea especially now it's here in Valencia it makes me super
happy because i'm going for the kimchijeon pancake let's try a little dipping sauce here
crispy outside soft center in the middle tangy a little spicy
once you bite in try it you'll never go back you're going to want this stuff
what do you think about the kimchi?
i really like the fresh one but i've had a fresh kimchi like this in a long time
so it's very crunchy very fresh tasting
still a little sweet i'm gonna try this one
i don't even know what this is looks like fettuccine now i know it's not
but i it's like like it of a tofu noodle i think
look at all these food hopefully we can eat it all we'll go we'll do our best here we have
is a bibimbap but it's just not regular bibimbap though what you want to focus on is a sauce right
here typically you get a little bit of vinegary sweet gochujang sauce with other bibimbap this one
is actually cooked so it has a ground beef and some other things going in it basically
cooked gochujang so we call it yakucha so they're very very delicious let's try this
i have to mix it there's some bean sprout, zucchini
egg, some shiitake mushroom looks like it's mixed pretty well let's try
big bite
oh every single topping has cooked perfectly but this gochujang
makes a big difference so yummy the most important thing about korean food you have the main dish
but you also come with a bunch of side dishes called banchan
now this one here oh my god i don't even know where to trap first
these are pickle so these are perilla leaves looks like these are garlic like a stem i think
taste of childhood slightly sweet slightly salty it has some spice to it strong taste of garlic
perfect compliment for the other all these Korean dishes guys i'm gonna try this dakgalbi is uh
cream chicken so we have very oh yeah cheesy chicken mixed in like a gochujang type sauce
oh yeah nice and cheesy this may or may not have a bone in it hopefully not
a little spicy but the cheese helps calm down that spice there we go what else do we have in here we
have some cabbage this is also joshua's favorite korean dish right we used to when i lived in korea
i think about every friday night instead of pizza night we would go eat dakgalbi
with all of uh my teacher friends so in the restaurants in Korea there's a big
skillet in the middle of the table when you cook they cook it all right there at the table for you
try with the lettuce okay i'm told i gotta try it that's a lot of fun
all right you gotta try it with the lettuce so let me try it with the lettuce little lettuce guys
giant piece of chicken
i'm also going to use a piece of the uh radishes
in the cabbage with cheese
nice and refreshing with the um the radish i'm going to give this a second mashisoyo this
guys this thing is so difficult to get in valencia usually what you do is you can just eat this with
the plain rice they're tasty now i'm going to do it on the bibimbap and wrap it around like this
all right we got a bottle of soju it's uh pretty intense for lunch but because we
wanted to show you guys you gotta have soju with korean food yep you shake it like this
rule number one never pour your own glass so i'm gonna pour it for josh
josh is gonna pour for me
they're hard to do it with the camera yeah so the thing about the soju is it's kind of
it is not as strong as vodka but it's sort of a tasteless should say made out of rice liquor to 17%
but it goes perfectly well with the korean food especially the spicy one
so we're gonna try that cheers
this reminds me a good old college time so basically what you do you hit this
and you go around play this drinking game whoever keep hitting it whoever end up taking this off
then you drink guys we didn't think we could do it but we did it we ate it all we're so full but
couldn't pass on this beautiful matcha the green tea ice cream it's kind of like a whipped texture
so good
it's super tasty
oh it looks like you got the whole layers i got everything there
this is pretty good guys don't miss it
okay guys guys it was a great lunch yeah we are so full oh that was a lot of food we didn't think we
could do it even uh i wouldn't say we didn't think we could do it oh well i didn't think we could
do it i knew we could do it i don't think even restaurant thought we could do it but we didn't
yeah that's too much food there was some kimchi left so i brought it with me you don't want to
waste kimchi nope but if you guys are in valencia we are here in the ruzafa neighborhood definitely
