00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.520
Vlogging every day in August, whoo!

00:00:13.809 --> 00:00:20.050
LA Edition. So today i had my live show
with LikeKristen. It was fantastic. We

00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:23.170
talked about a lot of mental health issues
and topics!

00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:26.410
There were lots of viewers and
participants, it was great!

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:29.940
This mommy sauce always freaks me out.

00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:32.540
[music]

00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:53.579
I was asked by Karola in the comments
of my last video, some questions about

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

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,

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.210
the same thing, in LA.

00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:10.950
It is King's brand. There are also other
things like, uh, mother-in-law

00:01:11.490 --> 00:01:17.520
brand of kimchi. I think, uh, Sun-Ji brand
kimchi might be another one, but

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

00:01:21.569 --> 00:01:25.920
made brands of kimchi in asian markets
because they pretty much always have

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.220
anchovies. Not artichokes, anchovies. It's a
fish product. It doesn't seem to make

00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:35.789
much of a difference whether it's a
regular old cabbage kimchi, which most

00:01:35.789 --> 00:01:39.810
people are familiar with, or cucumber
kimchi or radish kimchi or winter kimchi--

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

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

00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:54.869
leave out the anchovy, much to my delight!
So this one just contains: cabbage, garlic

00:01:54.869 --> 00:01:58.079
green onion, hot pepper, sugar, salt,
paprika, and ginger.

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.

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

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!

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.859
White rice, seaweed, kimchi and I'm a
happy boy.

00:02:17.489 --> 00:02:23.010
But i will also take things like really
inexpensive ramen and I will toss in the

00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:26.609
kimchi with the ramen, either while it's
cooking or right after cooking, it helps

00:02:26.609 --> 00:02:28.230
in cool down, actually, which is nice.

00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:31.920
Do you have any questions about kimchi? did you
catch my live show with Kristin?

00:02:32.489 --> 00:02:36.510
Do you have any other comments for me?
Anything that matters to you because I

00:02:36.510 --> 00:02:38.100
want to know what matters to you?

00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:41.489
Please leave them in the comments below.
I'd appreciate it. Thank you for watching

00:02:41.489 --> 00:02:42.510
to the end of my video,

00:02:42.510 --> 00:02:44.950
at the end of my videos is where I
always say:

00:02:44.950 --> 00:02:46.010
Tomorrow

00:02:46.010 --> 00:02:48.010
will be even better!
