I NEVER had to deal with broken frosting before going vegan. NEVER!! Since then, I've done everything I can to prevent it but even in this video, you can see it was a little broken and it infuriated me lol!! Luckily, it still tasted DARN good!!!

I'm glad you have people so special and close to you. These people are hard to find but really make life worth living ( i wonder how little Anthony would react if he knew someday he'd have such a loving wife and friend circle)

I am so grateful that you posted this. I am African American who loves Korean food ❤️my granddaughter’s mom is 1/2 Korean and since we met over 20 years ago it’s been love for the culture, the food especially. I even started studying the language 😂I know it is funny. But, I am still researching recipes and now I’m doing soups and stews. I’m going to make jjigae and fried mackerel with purple rice and some sort of kimchi my granddaughter doesn’t want the tofu in the stew🙄she wants tteokbokki instead🤷🏾‍♀️ That being said I’m going to make the recipe for the fried chicken mushrooms because you see I’m toying with the idea of becoming vegan also👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I just love your channel!

This is a beautiful labour of love - happy birthday! Even thought it was a bit different to see it chronologically, I actually think it's a bit better because i dont know if people understand how complicated it is to cook 10 dishes *at the same time* there's a ton of jumling back and forth otherwise no one eats until 11 pm 😂

Enjoyed every single minute of this entire video! Lots of love! ❤

That’s so impressive and also very sweet!

are you serious, the japchae is labor intensive? dunno how long all of that took but any one of those dishes would be a labor of love. if you put all that together in one day, well, i'm exhausted just watching you! brava! brava! accolades to the chef!! looks phenomenal. and wishing Anthony many very, very happy returns of the day!!!

what a feast! and all made with love!

I love your videos! Your narration is superb. I have started using some Asian seasonings because of you!

WOW! So impressive! Love all the food!

How did you keep everything at the right temperature before people arrived? This is amazing.

@TheKoreanVegan

9 ай бұрын

That was very tricky. I ended up air-frying the mushrooms, kept the soup at a simmer, gave the pancakes a few mins on the stovetop, and kept the tteokbokki in the pot until service. The japchae was fine (it’s not meant to be eaten hot), the bread was great, and even the gyerranmari was still delicious (if a little hardened). The pasta wasn’t warm anymore but there’s not much I could there. It was still delicious!

Also I didn't know that there was a pasta dish with pesto, green beans and potatoes in it. So thank you for passing that information on to us. And the cake looked both pretty and delicious.

Hi! That makes me so so happy! I air-fry the chicken fried mushrooms for a few minutes, until they get nice and crispy again. I also reheat the pancakes by sticking each on the skillet for a few minutes. Tteokbokki, I make right before dinner, and leave it in the pot for a few minutes while I prepare service. Hope that helps!!

Ok that mushroom looked delicious! For your dishes u added flour to, have u ever substituted wheat free alternatives? And what type of mushroom was that?

Hi! I started with the things that didn't need to stay warm (bread, cake, cucumber moochim, etc.), then moved onto the things that would be easy to reheat (chicken fried mushrooms (just stick em in the air fryer), Korean pancakes, soup), and then ended with the things I knew would not sit well (tteokbokki, japchae, and pasta). I also designed the menu with that in mind--knowing that I could only do about 2 to 3 dishes at the same time. I hope that helps!!

Any tips on how to keep everything you cooked or food warm until the guests start eating it? I am also a proponent of cooking everything before guests come, so I have max time talking to them! I have kinda struggled with keeping all the food warm and soft etc

@TheKoreanVegan

9 ай бұрын

Hi Samanta! First, you’re just going to have to get comfy with the fact that you don’t work at a restaurant and therefore it won’t be perfect. Good news is, your guests know this already! Unless you want to get burners and hot plates OR stick to making only a few simple dishes (who wants that?), not everything will taste like it came right out of the oven or off the stove. Second, you want to have only 2-3 dishes to that you KNOW will not sit well. For me, I knew the tteokbokki, japchae, and pasta would not be good if they sat out too long. But I also knew that I could handle cooking all of them pretty much at once, esp because I have an extra portable stovetop. Third, I frontloaded all the stuff I knew didn’t need to be served warm: focaccia, cake, cucumber. Fourth, the majority of the items were things I could easily reheat: chicken fried mushrooms (zapped them in the airfryer right before dinner and they were delightfully crunchy), pancakes (gave them a quick refry on the skillet), miyeok guk (just let it sit at a gentle simmer until time to serve). Fifth, I used my spreadsheet to build backwards from my desired dinner time, noting which items would be passive (reheating the mushrooms and soup) and which would be active (cooking the japchae, pasta, and tteokbokki). Sixth, when the pasta came out a little cold after sitting out a little longer than I liked, i tasted it and it was still delicious so I didn’t freak out! Hope that helps!!!

As an American this is big deal. However, I happen to know that Koreans prepare this much food on a daily. So no flex there.
