Vlogging every day in August, whoo!

LA Edition. So today i had my live show
with LikeKristen. It was fantastic. We

talked about a lot of mental health issues
and topics!

There were lots of viewers and
participants, it was great!

This mommy sauce always freaks me out.

I was asked by Karola in the comments
of my last video, some questions about

kimchi, particularly what to look out for, and
how to combine it with foods. Here is my

go-to kimchi brand. This is what I would
get in the DC area and i'm getting it,

the same thing, in LA.

It is King's brand. There are also other
things like, uh, mother-in-law

brand of kimchi. I think, uh, Sun-Ji brand
kimchi might be another one, but

something that i usually do not do is I
usually do not get the homemade or the store

made brands of kimchi in asian markets
because they pretty much always have

anchovies. Not artichokes, anchovies. It's a
fish product. It doesn't seem to make

much of a difference whether it's a
regular old cabbage kimchi, which most

people are familiar with, or cucumber
kimchi or radish kimchi or winter kimchi--

doesn't matter, it always seems to have
anchovies in it if it's authentic. However, many

of the jarred kimchi's, like this, that you'll
find in a mainstream grocery store, will

leave out the anchovy, much to my delight!
So this one just contains: cabbage, garlic

green onion, hot pepper, sugar, salt,
paprika, and ginger.

That's it! I grew up in Korea for 13
years, so I grew up on Kimchi.

I am perfectly delighted to sit down with a
bowl of rice and a small plate of kimchi

and just eat that. If I'm feeling
fancy I just toss in some seaweed. Some seaweed!

White rice, seaweed, kimchi and I'm a
happy boy.

But i will also take things like really
inexpensive ramen and I will toss in the

kimchi with the ramen, either while it's
cooking or right after cooking, it helps

in cool down, actually, which is nice.

Do you have any questions about kimchi? did you
catch my live show with Kristin?

Do you have any other comments for me?
Anything that matters to you because I

want to know what matters to you?

Please leave them in the comments below.
I'd appreciate it. Thank you for watching

to the end of my video,

at the end of my videos is where I
always say:

Tomorrow

will be even better!
