In Korea, you're gonna notice a lot of stands like this.
Now this is where they're gonna sell a lot of street food
and it's not just the hot dogs and sausages that we're used to from North America.

This is a full meal.
[roar!]
[music]
So if you're feeling snackish and you don't need a whole meal
you can come in and get some odeng, which is just pressed fish cake
on a stick
and when you order dokbokki. Okay. So, over here,
dokbokki. Okay? Mmm, it's a much heartier meal. So you'll be pretty full.
And I want to show you over here the proper names.
[music]
So this is called Twigum. We have yatchae, kimaree, ojingo, gogoma, and mandu.
And if you want a snack you can have some kimbap.
"Dokbokki dugay jusayoh. Ahh.
Twigum doogay.
Yatchae, gimaree, gogoma.
Hago mandu, gogoma, gimaree.
Neh!"
So this delicious piece of food here is kimaree,
and on the inside you have the same noodles used for japchae,
so it's like a sweet potato noodle and it's wrapped in seaweed
and then wrapped in batter and fried.
And it may not sound too great right now, but it is really, really delicious.
Then you have, this is kogi mandu.
So it's just meat and noodles...
it's been basically like a dumpling that's been deep fried.
Also really delicious.
And gogoma is just sweet potato.
And Korea has an abundance of sweet potatoes, and they're really, really good.
And healthy for you!
And the only difference with yours, Simon, is...
(yatchae) yatchae,
which is covered in sauce. It's just basically vegetables
that have been battered and fried together.
So if you do order some dokbokki and twigum
you can help yourself to some odeng mul.
It's just the actual broth from the odeng,
but usually it has like onions, and crab legs
and other really delicious things.
So then, right in the middle here you have Soondae,
which is basically like a,
same japchae noodles mixed with a little bit of meat
and put into sausage casing and steamed.
So, it's really, really delicious,
and you could also get sometimes liver and other...animal...organs
with it as well. I've had lung before...
which I didn't enjoy. But I did enjoy the liver!
Now! Here's one of the best parts about dokbokki:
see this ten thousand won? Watch what happens with it.
It's happening...wait...
gamsahamnida!
Four thousand won back! Essentially, Martina and I
are both completely stuffed, and it only cost us six thousand won.
Now look at the currency exchange rate; that's, five bucks maybe?
For both of us to be completely full.
Now that's a good deal.
Dokbokki can be very, very spicy.
What do you want to do now Simon?
I don't know. Maybe we could SHAZAAAAAAAAAAAM!
[music]
So today we're gonna take you to order some blaaaaaahhh!
