gonna go explore the second level and then also the third level over here guys
this is the VR section where you can have a total immersive experience
related to travel here in Korea oh my gosh you just did this and you said it
was scary so you put on these VR goggles here and apparently you're standing on a
building right it's not the wrong way oh my gosh I'm standing on the edge oh I
literally feel like I'm going to fall I had to take them off I was going over the side
So over here we have the K-pop stars I'm hanging out with them I have no idea who they are it seems like every year
they change but uh yeah and there's a really cool theme Room with Psy I'm gonna
show you that next let's go get her oppa Gangnam style on sexy lady so that was
the second level there's some more sections to it but we are running out of
time so I'm gonna quickly show you the food section on level three
so over here we have a Royal Korean feast called a Han Chun Sik which
centers around one principle dish normally like a stew or meat and the
rest all those other little dishes called banchan are the Korean side
dishes that accompany the Royal Meal some wise words over here you are what
you eat and in Korea you can eat very well so guys just behind me I have to
show you these clay pots these are the traditional pots used to store various
Korean ingredients such as kimchi gochujang which is red pepper paste
doenjang which is soy bean paste this is the way they are traditionally
fermented in these clay pots
so next up is the cooking class the Korean cooking class and I'm so excited
for this because we're going to learn to make two of my favorite dishes Haemul
pajeon (해물파전) which is like a Korean pancake and also Sundubu jjigae which is like a
tofu stew so we are going to the third floor Ongo Food Communication first I'll be your instructor today Is everybody ready? Ready.
first things first we got to wash your hands just keep it clean you gonna do it good
this guy's beens there he has a favorite
I'm going to take a picture of you guys this is what we used for every day actually at all Japan China saying I
don't know if you have travel Southeast Asia Thailand Cambodia like Vietnam
they use fish sauce much more than soy sauce that's why the flavor is so
different from now I'm going to explain a little bit about Korean food kimchi
and rice is Korean staple that's what we eat for every single day believe it or
not and there exists more than 100 different types of kimchi
okay next is Korean pancake this is not a street pancake like crap a or like a
dessert pancake this is more like main dish or we eat with you know the
Korean alcohol Makgeoli or soju you so in here I'm going to make a
batter using cold water guess why I'm using ice-cold water everybody try
Japanese tempura is very light and crispy
the secret is beer or ice cold water course BBQ and all kind of pancake is
considered like a party food we don't eat this is better food for everyday
your mom or someone is cooking preparing Korean pancake you say Oh is someone
visiting us or something special is happening today
so today the pancake that we're cooking is in Korean word Haemul Pajeon (해물파전) the
seafood pancake but there are many many different pancakes in Korea like kimchi
pancake the concept is green onion you see here the texture from here huge
difference so what I'm going to do from now is turn the knife to the side to
make it flat
right so we are going to be cooking some Korean food I'm with Tae Jee-Ah this is your
company Yes we are doing Korean cooking classes and food tours slow exciting okay so this is the ingredient for the pajeon today what what do we do this flower taking a pinch of
salt just add to it black pepper is next yeah just like that a little bit a
little bit more I like my pepper so I'm gonna whisk that around a bit Add in cold
water to it oh thank you and you had mentioned that yeah it's
important to use cold water for beer right yeah fantastic okay so make like a
creamy it looks really nice the green onion this is called the pa right pa pa pa means green onion in Korean
okay
yeah is that looking good everything's ready okay fantastic you're
putting a bit of oil in here let me have to let it let it heat up a bit okay one
by one yeah and this stream calamari in the shrimp Oh doesn't that look nice
give this some colour especially the red
okay right basically it acts as a kind of like a glue
I can feel that heat guys it is sizzling on my hand
okay and they want it to be like a kind of a golden brown I think so too I look
at crispy you're gonna have fried food it go all
the way crispy to the max okay guys it's time to flip the pancake the haemul
pajeon (해물파전) we like it crispy
go crispy or go home Wow that look amazing
I can't wait to eat that man this is the fleet says have a happy day whatever
you're having haemul pajeon (해물파전) is a happy day guys the next stage is to cut it so what
you do is you lift it with the column cut it right in the middle oh it's thick
when Korean cuisine uses there's a lot both in barbecue and also for pancakes
so I'm cutting it into long strips right now there I'm going like this they're
the big reason why we're doing this because we're using chopsticks here in
Korean you know obviously Korea China Japan they use chopsticks for everything
area and make it like bite sized right exactly
so I've got one more strip to do oh my gosh lifting it up a little higher this
time so it works there we go look at that
Tommy pies are ready so we have completed the haemul pajeon (해물파전) and my
friend over here what's your name my name's Lim oh so you're gonna help show
me how to make the sauce for the pajeon okay sure thank you so what do we do first
actually this is based on the pepper powder it's really simple it's always
soy sauce so it's about a tablespoon actually one tablespoon to 1 teaspoon 1
teaspoon of sesame oil and the vinegar is depend on your taste okay I like
vinegar so I'm about to try the Haemul pajeon (해물파전) and one of my favorite Korean
dishes and I'm gonna grab a great big piece rate from the middle we're
shrimp so what I do is they just take it like this take it for a swim in the
sauce which has soy sauce sesame sauce vinegar and some chili powder and then a
one biter hmm I can see it's good because I cooked
it but it's good because of the ingredients I'm so many delicious things
in here again you typically have us on a day after you go
hiking in Korea but when it's raining and the nicest thing to pair it with in
terms of a drink is a Korean drink called Makgeoli so I don't have any
Makgeoli today but I am enjoying this haemul pajeon (해물파전) very very much David you're gonna
try the haemul pajeon (해물파전) on oh my god this thing's looks amazing look at this
savory pancake we got the green onions the octopus so
colorful oh so colorful all men man so I get rainbow and I play
a little how many ingredients and we get some of that right there
all right I'm gonna dip it right into this you need this sauce the sauce like
this gives it a nice little kick so good nice and crunchy like home
I'll through the dough is not a good thick bigger than a CREP though not too
thin very tender oh my god this is like so unreal yeah so unreal this is a
really exciting moment Audrey eat your heart out this is her favorite jjigae
sundubu jjigae (순두부찌개) silken tofu with all kinds of vegetables all kinds of seafood
this is amazing guys and I can't believe we made this this is something I've had
so many times in Korea okay I'm grabbing a big piece with the silken tofu
spicy the tofu is so smooth it absorbs all the flavors and then you get the
nice chewy texture of the seafood oh man perfect Korean dish along all right
David yes sir I love this thing do you mean do it's so good and we
haven't even tried the shrimp so I'm gonna go into the shrimp first Oh right
there that look at that oh this spicy not too spicy though I
wish it was spicier yeah oh wow mmm like it very soft this one
this is so good I love seafood tofu soups I had one in Japan yeah cool in
mind but here that's tofu you know people some people don't love
tofu I percieve love it yeah you never have it alone you know you always either
habit with something like soy sauce wasabi or you didn't be into something
like this and then you make it stew out of it and absorb all the flavors it's
like it's sponge basically do it I can fill up on top so that we didn't burn down
the kitchen we made two nice Korean dishes we had a lot of help which is
good because neither of us are we're better at eating than we are cooking
everything fish in my life and one thing Sam didn't do him is he didn't grab any
of the rice again super sticky rice he's dipping it here there's let it again the
rice absorbs the flavors of that sauce like that
it's not spicy at all yeah where's the spice so I've had a great time learning
