How To Eat Korean BBQ (KBBQ 101)! - Fung Bros Food

Welcome to another episode of Fun Bros Food. You guys asked for it, so we gave it to you. Korean BBQ! Alright, we're at Jen BBQ in Alhambra, California, and we're with our Korean experts Jenny and Gina. Annyeong! Plus our friend Richie Lee. Annyeong! The first thing I ordered was chadolbaegi, which is beef brisket. Why is it brisket's the first one? It cooks fast, it fills you up. What's that? This is thinly sliced radish. If you're trying to watch your weight, this is probably the better thing that most Korean girls like to stick with. And I've seen some Korean BBQ places, they give you like a giant leaf, but I notice here it's in salad mode. Can you guys explain that to me? So the giant leaf, you're wrapping everything in the leaf. But this, you're wrapping it in the tteok or the radish. We crave these things called tteokbossam. Tteokbossam. How important is it to have somebody attentive on the grill like that? The great thing about this is if there's a little bit of pink, you can go ahead and eat it. Pigs though, pig meat, we can't do that. So before we actually start eating, we all say, meaning I'm going to eat very well today. When you want to eat salad on our plates, you gotta get meat. Put it on top of your pickled jalapeno and the salad like this. You get the tteok, you put it over. Okay, Jerome got some techniques. So when I'm making this little sandwich, I mean most people just take whatever or I'm gonna fix some kimchi with it, cukes, some cukes. Even though this is Korean barbecue, you can put whatever you like because it's America, right? La Frida. What I like about Korean barbecue is that you're actually eating a lot of grilled meats, but you're actually eating a lot of veggies with it too. One of my favorite things about Korean food is definitely the banchan, which is like the side dishes. And I love this because one, they're kind of free, but also it really helps balance out the meat. It kind of cools everything down, I feel like. This is like potato salad, right? And I kind of use that as like a creamer. Balance. So this is kind of like soy sauce based. The second one is my favorite, sesame oil with just salt and pepper. This is kind of just Jen Barbecue's kind of own twist. I'm not really sure. I believe that's called green tea salt. I know that one thing that the kids love, and I used to eat a lot when I was younger, was $10 Korean barbecue. Jen, it's not a $10 spot. Tell us the difference. $10 spot's quality is not gonna be the greatest. Sometimes the meat has a lot of fat, pig meats are really thin, they don't have too much variety. It's really, really frozen and so it doesn't taste as fresh. Alright, break down the pork belly, because this is for me, this is my personal favorite dish. So these four right here is called samgyeopsal. Samgyeopsal! Koreans like pork marinated. This is the miso flavor. This is just pork itself. This is wine flavor. I actually get a lot of good names. Purple. That was crazy. And this one is actually really a garlic flavor. Can I cut that? Yeah, do you want to learn how to cook it? Hold up, hold up. I'm just going to act like I never ate Korean barbecue before. Shoot, my bad. So you hand it up from the top, and then you cut it from the bottom. Because if you cut it right here, the meat's going to drop like that. What? And you've got to pick it up again. Start from the bottom, now we're here. Start from the bottom. A lot of people cut the bone out before you cook it. We're not Korean. We don't eat the bone. This is called hanjeongsal, which is from the pork's neck. Protect your neck. It's a bit more fat in it. It tastes like butter. It's crispy. Just put it on the grill. Alright, alright. We've got to put this on. You guys, now that the pig meats are here, is this ready to put garlic and stuff on? Yes. Put it on the grill. What about these jalapenos? Don't you! I actually heard that that has a second meaning. Is this true? A male's private part. These penis! So I know with grilling, and this goes with anything you're grilling, like American steak, that you want to flip the meat as few times as possible. Because the more you flip it, the drier the meat's going to get. So what you want to do is start flipping the meat when you see the juice coming out on the side. And that's called flipping it when the meat's crying. I'm crying! Let me do it! Just try eating it like this. It's like butter. A chef once told me that for this, you want to just dip it in the salt because the sauces are going to overpower it. I'm hitting it with the salt. Alright, these are two types of meat that we usually do not order. This is the large intestine, this is the small intestine. Asians eat weird things. Chinese eat intestines too sometimes, but we don't necessarily grill it like this. It's cool to see how other cultures eat their intestines. Asians eat intestines! Now that I'm older, I feel like everybody knows what Korean barbecue is. Everybody likes it and everybody's had it. Do you think that's true? I think it's true. It's such a good environment. It really fits in with American culture because it's grilled meat. Every culture almost has their own version of grilled meat. So one dating tip and advice. If you're a guy and you're taking a girl, you better be grabbing the tongs and the girl will just sit there being like, wow! Oppa! The girl is grabbing for it first. What? You're saying you're in the friend zone? Let me be your mom. We're not on a date. Why do I want to be called oppa? If you're being called oppa by a cute Korean girl, that means they respect you. They already see you as a man. If you get called dongseng, that's a bad thing. So if a girl calls you oppa, that's good. If a girl calls you dongseng, friend zone. If a girl reaches for the tongs and cooks Korean barbecue for you, friend zone. We're in the friend zone, yeah. For the people at home, if they're at a Korean spot and they want to get the attention of a waiter or a waitress, what would they say? David, allow me. Yu-gi-oh! That's it, right? Yu-gi-oh! After my Korean friends were at Korean barbecue, they might escalate their voice and it might become a, jeo-gi-oh! The reason why some would say, yeo-gi-oh, basically meaning, attention over here, attention over here. And then when they're not getting your attention, you're saying, jeo-gi-oh, which means like, ay, you over there. English translation. Yu-gi-oh! Uh, excuse me, excuse me over here, I'd like some help. Jeo-gi-oh! Ay, ay, bro, bro, over here. Jeo-gi-oh! What did you just ask? We asked to change the pan. It's getting really black. What you do with the meat, you just put it on the sides, because the heat's a lot less there. This is a spicy marinated squid, calamari. We like to eat it raw, though, when it's moving in your mouth. And it's moving right now! Squidward would not approve, Spongebob. To my knowledge, an important part of Korean barbecue is drinking alcohol. Here we got the shot glasses. We're not going to do alcohol today. We got Sprite. So, if you're older, pouring to a younger person, it'll probably be a lot more casual. One-handed is fine. Look at her form, though. She's like, kind of tucking in, looking timid. It doesn't matter how close you are. But now my way of pouring is going to change, because he's older than me. So now I kind of have to hold it. So now you're timid. I look very serious. But if the older person is pouring, then they can pour it all over your hand. One-handed, casually spilled. Alright, Richie's younger than me, so this is going to be fun. So, you know, I'm just going to... Eyes closed. Okay, now Richie, you have to pour. Alright, I'm older, so I'm big boss-like. Richie, hurry up! My sister poured for me, and I'm younger. You always have to drink away. It's a little rude if you're younger, and you do a whole shot. Cheers! Top three mistakes people make when eating Korean barbecue. Okay, but first, guys, let me take a selfie real quick. Mistake number one. Letting the meat burn. Someone's got to always be keeping an eye on the meat and flipping it when it's time to flip. Someone wasn't paying attention. Don't let it burn! Number two. Not asking to change the grill. Once it goes black, it's got to go back. And don't be shy to ask. Just change the grill. Mistake number three. Not asking for certain things that don't just appear on the table. Be assertive and ask. Alright, everybody, we got some meat grilling. We got some veggies grilling. We ate a bunch. That was it for the Korean barbecue episode of Fung Bro's Food. Make sure you let us know in the comments section below other types of food you want us to try. We out! Peace! Bye! Hey, can you snip this? Thank you. Hold on, hold up.
