As an Asian American, do you feel more or less the same as any other American, or, do you feel "different" because of bad behavior of other Americans, or, perhaps due to the way your parents raised you being different from what 6maybe was the "norm" for your area?
How come bland sriracha is more or less as popular as kechup, but good gochujang is hard as hell to find here even though it's SOOOO much better in every possible way?
I'm glad you asked this. I'm pretty sure if you grew up Asian in US, chances are you faced some awful racism. This is a fact of life.
As a father, I know my kids will go through it and face some racial slurs.
I'll equip my kids to be strong while recognizing the great surrounding they're born in.
Also my korean parents never raised me in this stereotypical one dimensional 'study 24 7, must get As!' Kind of way. They were pretty amazing folks.
Actually none of my Asian friends had parents like that.
I think it's a shitty stereotype stemming from 70s-80s era poor uninformed Chinese immigrants perhaps.
how should i cook the packages of small frozen fish at 99 ranch market and super h mart?
Post pic and I'll share knowledge.
Sure. Instant ramen is korean mostly. Real japanese ramen is a recent global fad that korea is getting to learn as well.
The office where I work is maybe 10-15 minutes from an H Mart. It's the opposite direction as home though, so I don't wind up going out that way very often.
There are like half a dozen Korean BBQs between the office and home though ... so I do stop by from time to time. It helps that beer like OB or Hite is pretty neutral and generally tends to compliment spicy foods really nicely.
I've developed a bit of an obsession with Nakji Bokkeum as of late, however I think gamjatang might just be my overall favorite Korean food that I've had the pleasure of eating. Of course stuff like Bulgogi is amazing as well. Very much a noob when it comes to Korean foods, a lot more on my list of "things to try" than "things I have tried", but, eventually I hope to learn the cuisines
Where do you live.
would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?
100. 1 horse sized duck is terrifying.
will my grandson inherit any of my good looks even though the father is mongolian? He's prettyi handsome too?
Your grandson looks adorable.
Well I envy your access! Any time I have to return to Maryland I always gorge on all the Korean I can, tend to stick with non-seafood items though. Have never tried gamjatang although I've heard it's amazing. I like ox tail, so... I feel like I need to sponsor a Korean family who wants to open a restaurant. Having regular access to authentic bulgogi and jakbol is something I really miss. Agree on the Hite too.
You ever do the san nakji challenge?
I grew up on najki raw. I'll never forget my dad asking me to try. I was like 8.
Are you South Korean?
Opinion on SE Asians? Thai, Vietnan, Cambodian, Laos. Who do you like?
I've lived in both Thailand and South Korea. Koreans are hypercompetitive, Thais tend to be more laid back. I've also dated Thais. They can be a little nutty, and they want MONEY!
I like em all. Of course racism exists everywhere and I think old school koreans grew up looking down on SE Asians.
I think that's awful.
I personally think Asian cuisine is a notch above in craftsmanship over French or western cuisine. Of course I'm biased.
Japanese sushi, tempura
Korean BBQ, hot pot culture, Kim chi
The entire Chinese wok lineup is amazing. Noodles!
Mothereffin thai cuisine mmmm
Pho and bun of vietnamese.
Love em all. Yes I make a mean ass steak and mashed potatoes. I love smoking BBQ. And my chili game is on point but Asian cuisine rocks.
