00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Vlogging every day in August, whoo!

3
00:00:13,809 --> 00:00:20,050
LA Edition. So today i had my live show
with LikeKristen. It was fantastic. We

4
00:00:20,050 --> 00:00:23,170
talked about a lot of mental health issues
and topics!

5
00:00:23,170 --> 00:00:26,410
There were lots of viewers and
participants, it was great!

6
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:29,940
This mommy sauce always freaks me out.

8
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:53,579
I was asked by Karola in the comments
of my last video, some questions about

9
00:00:53,579 --> 00:01:00,059
kimchi, particularly what to look out for, and
how to combine it with foods. Here is my

10
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:04,680
go-to kimchi brand. This is what I would
get in the DC area and i'm getting it,

11
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,210
the same thing, in LA.

12
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:10,950
It is King's brand. There are also other
things like, uh, mother-in-law

13
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:17,520
brand of kimchi. I think, uh, Sun-Ji brand
kimchi might be another one, but

14
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,569
something that i usually do not do is I
usually do not get the homemade or the store

15
00:01:21,569 --> 00:01:25,920
made brands of kimchi in asian markets
because they pretty much always have

16
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,220
anchovies. Not artichokes, anchovies. It's a
fish product. It doesn't seem to make

17
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:35,789
much of a difference whether it's a
regular old cabbage kimchi, which most

18
00:01:35,789 --> 00:01:39,810
people are familiar with, or cucumber
kimchi or radish kimchi or winter kimchi--

19
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:46,350
doesn't matter, it always seems to have
anchovies in it if it's authentic. However, many

20
00:01:46,350 --> 00:01:50,130
of the jarred kimchi's, like this, that you'll
find in a mainstream grocery store, will

21
00:01:50,130 --> 00:01:54,869
leave out the anchovy, much to my delight!
So this one just contains: cabbage, garlic

22
00:01:54,869 --> 00:01:58,079
green onion, hot pepper, sugar, salt,
paprika, and ginger.

23
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:03,899
That's it! I grew up in Korea for 13
years, so I grew up on Kimchi.

24
00:02:03,899 --> 00:02:08,549
I am perfectly delighted to sit down with a
bowl of rice and a small plate of kimchi

25
00:02:08,549 --> 00:02:13,200
and just eat that. If I'm feeling
fancy I just toss in some seaweed. Some seaweed!

26
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,859
White rice, seaweed, kimchi and I'm a
happy boy.

27
00:02:17,489 --> 00:02:23,010
But i will also take things like really
inexpensive ramen and I will toss in the

28
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:26,609
kimchi with the ramen, either while it's
cooking or right after cooking, it helps

29
00:02:26,609 --> 00:02:28,230
in cool down, actually, which is nice.

30
00:02:28,230 --> 00:02:31,920
Do you have any questions about kimchi? did you
catch my live show with Kristin?

31
00:02:32,489 --> 00:02:36,510
Do you have any other comments for me?
Anything that matters to you because I

32
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:38,100
want to know what matters to you?

33
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,489
Please leave them in the comments below.
I'd appreciate it. Thank you for watching

34
00:02:41,489 --> 00:02:42,510
to the end of my video,

35
00:02:42,510 --> 00:02:44,950
at the end of my videos is where I
always say:

36
00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:46,010
Tomorrow

37
00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:48,010
will be even better!
