In this series, Michelle Zauner, an author and the singer of Japanese Breakfast, explores the results of migration on cuisine, and the personal experiences and community that are tied into the merging of food cultures. As cooks try to replicate familiar dishes in foreign homes, they rely on what’s around them. But by tying in techniques, ingredients, and sensory memories from their places of origin, they create new, hybrid cuisines.
In this episode, Zauner sits down with Sarah Lee, co-founder of Kimbap Lab, and Emily Kim, a KZfaqr and author better known as Maangchi, to discuss the evolution of Korean-American cuisine. The three share a meal at Pocha32 in New York City’s Koreatown and dive into the origins of Budae Jjigae, or “army base stew,” and their own experiences with Korean-American food.

I had a friend in High school that was Korean. She did not speak much English. We would wait for each other and go and sit together for lunch, that way we had company. I always had the school lunch on the free program. Everyday she brought a fried egg on two pieces of bread. I would be so hungry if that is all I had to eat all day! To me at the time it seemed strange, and when I spoke to my mom about it, she said that her family was probably trying to save as much money as possible and or had very little money coming form another country and that was all they could afford. I can tell you today, I make fried egg sandwiches all of the time and they are delicious!! I always think of her when I cook one.

how maangchi responded to the idea of food becoming inauthentic is such a perfect answer....because its really about suiting to your own taste where you can also acknowledge that the original is rooted somewhere significant, and that food can be a means for cultural preservation, heritage, and sense of identity. but theres always going to be differences within, people will always have their own taste and if some white guy thinks his vegan kimchi made with celery and cauliflower is good, then of course i wont eat it, and no i wouldnt consider it kimchi, but i feel as long as theyre not taking credit and making it seem better than the authentic, then its okay i think. i mean, theyre right, korean americans changed their food when they came here. thats why it frustrates me when expats think they can live in korea for a year and then come back leaving 1 star reviews at korean restaurants in the states. those are immigrants who own those restaurants, who shed their blood sweat and tears to come here. just leave the entitlement out, because honestly sometimes its more complex.

@benthrasher9739 5 жыл бұрын

I would go even further and say that if people think it's better than the authentic version, they are welcome to say so. I can still make fun of them for being so stupid, but there's nothing inherently valuable in 'authenticity' and there's nothing wrong with having a difference in opinion. There's a fantastic korean restaurant near me that does everything just like you'd see in Korea. There's also a Chipotle-style korean fusion place that is cheap and fast. Both are really wonderful places to eat, but for different reasons. Something else to note is that historically, immigrants make all kinds of fusion. Many American dishes and cuisines are the product of immigrants altering and adjusting food to fit their preferences, but using the different resources in their new country.

@benthrasher9739 5 жыл бұрын

Intro Outro for something to be authentic culturally, it has to be traditional to some degree. Even if that tradition has only existed for a few years, there must be something there to grab onto. Without it, you can’t really describe something as part of culture. The whole point of my comment is that a new tradition is made all the time, making a new authentic dish. Take, for example, spaghetti and meatballs. This is a classic Italian American dish, although in Italy no one would consider this authentic Italian cuisine. It really isn’t either. That’s why it doesn’t matter if the person making asian food his own way is white. Asian people who come to america mess with the traditional recipes too, so what’s wrong with a white person doing the same?

@introoutro6633 5 жыл бұрын

@@benthrasher9739 It doesn't matter whether the cook is white or otherwise. What matters is the understanding where a dish comes from and the cultural significance it has before any changes are made. A flippant fusion make do wouldn't be taken seriously as authentic. To respond to the last bit of your comment, the difference would be the (Asian) person changing the American recipe isn't calling their result authentic. What's an authentic American recipe, anyway? Do share.

@benthrasher9739 5 жыл бұрын

Intro Outro that fusion becomes authentic after a couple generations pass because they’re no longer immigrants, they’re Americans who descended from immigrants. Cajun cooking is a perfect example of this. New Orleans is American, distinctly, but it was inspired by multiple cultures as well as the environment. No one would say that Cajun is “just bastard French cuisine.” It has become its own distinct culture. As far as purely American with no influence from any other culture? That’s kind of an unfair comparison to the rest of the world with thousands of years to develop, but okay. America has always existed in the age of globalization, so it has influenced and been influenced by other places to the point where it doesn’t have a distinct cultural identity that is entirely its own. It could be argued that this is essentially true for most of the world as well. China influenced all its neighbors, each region of India influenced the others, the Islamic caliphate influenced or eclipsed the surrounding cultures, etc. there is no cuisine that is truly and purely authentic to its own culture and is not rooted in some other culture.

I’m so used to reading fictional books and waking up from those books thinking like, “huh, they’re not real.” But when I read Michelle’s memoir, it’s like, me waking up from the fact that this whole thing- this whole book was real. Her mother actually died. Peter and Michelle actually married and haven’t divorced. Maangchi actually helped her prepare all those Korean recipes that she had felt lost without. And along with all those other things/events that ACTUALLY happened. In a way, it’s so shocking to me still and also, a good reminder for us all, especially me, that this is the painstakingly harsh beautiful reality. (Note: But I’m super glad these two met up and made this video together- especially after all those moments when Michelle turned to Maangchi either for food help, or to reconnect with her Korean culture- especially when Kye or her mother wasn’t there to teach her🥹)

As an Army Brat, I’m no stranger to Korean food. My best friend of 39 years is half Korean, and her family instilled my love for Korean food at the age of 4. She teases me that I’m more Korean than she is because I cook it so much. (Please don’t be offended) But everyone seems to have jumped on the KBBQ when it became popular. I’ve enjoyed it my whole life. When I was a teen in Germany I had a mom gift me 2 jars of Kimchi and at the time I worked for the army Ed center. I brought the jars to work, and that’s what I ate for lunch for a month. This was about 1992. They banished me to the top floor that was vacant for lunch. But couldn’t care less.

Norwegian? Irish? What a fool. Oh, it hurt her so much that the other kids didn't eat kimchi. Waah waah. Boo hoo. Her Valley Girl vocal fry is annoying too. I only watched this for Maangchi.

kimchee and tomatoes pair well for some reason. I'll eat spaghetti and have some on the side. some people say they'll use kimchee juice as hot sauce?.. I'm like heat and probiotics!

This series is so pure and amazing, and so enlightening on food and its history. Very rarely does one think of "oh this food is this way because of this reason" or that "this food comes from here because of these people." I find that this series is so genuine in that fact. I very much enjoy watching this and I'm very excited to see more of it!

This video touched me deeply. I was born around the time that they're discussing, and I get the things they're saying. As a Korean who was adopted and raised by an awesome (but very white) family in a very white area of the USA, the things the girl in white was saying resound with me on such a deep level. Awesome and very candid video. Thank you!

Omg! I found another! I’m a Korean adoptee as well and this was the closest thing to family teaching you about heritage. Nothing against our white families, but they can’t teach us all these things.

@cireusanime 5 жыл бұрын

@@jgallub I agree. I mean, it wasn't a conscious decision to keep things from me, I know, and most likely, it really never occurred to them that we might want to know some of these things. I get that. It's just tough.

Love the history data, sharing this with my friends and family. Maangchi I adore you. You're too young to be like a mom to me but certainly great as a sister! You have been helping me remember what I forgot and cannot get answered because my mom passed years ago. All of you feel like family to me, keep up the great work! LOVE FROM HAWAII!

maangchi is like a household name when it comes to korean cooking. koreans everywhere know who she is and love her like a digital surrogate mother. even my japanese honorary auntie loves maangchi and agrees that her word is gospel. it's incredible what one woman can achieve in terms of reconnecting so many adoptees, biracial people, and second generation korean americans with their culture. sending my love from the great midwest!

I've learned to make so many Korean dishes thanks to Maangchi. She really teaches you how to appreciate the food and through that way of learning I believe it makes the food taste even better. You cook with the same love and appreciation Maangchi has. Learning to first make foods from other cultures authentically first I feel is very important.

This was a very thoughtful, kind, and yet honest exploration of what it means for ways of cooking and eating to change. To change with war, to change with immigration and with increased prosperity and communication. This is very serious stuff and all three of the women brought real wisdom and insight.
