Potato was definitely a key ingredient in the early traditional jajangmyeon recipes found in Korea. Potatoes only slowly disappeared from restaurant style jajangmyeon due meat prices being affordable for the working class. Any respectable homemade jajangmyeon will always have potatoes as well as some type of beef or pork in the sauce. Just thought I'd drop some knowledge!

Potato is native american root plant, so could not be in early traditional recipes found in Korea.

Do apologise though, I've just realised that for this particular dish it can be early, as the dish is relatively young.
I have been living in the woods for 35 years, and I wouldn't change it for the world! Nothing like the natural sounds to soothe your soul. I love how you told the difference between the different regions way to eat tofu puddings, it's just like grits in the states. Some grew up with it sweet some grew up with it savory. Stay safe sweet pea, and thank you for all that you do. Much love and blessings from Texas.

Hey Mike, the "clover" in your wood trolley is actually an herb called wood sorrel, an edible plant with a distinct lemony flavor. But don't eat too much as some people can have a reaction due to its oxalic acid content.

Jajangmyen and sweet and sour pork are Chinese Korean cuisine. They are sold by Chinese restaurants in Korea so mandarin speaking is not unusual. There are over a million ethnic Koreans that are mainland Chinese citizens from the north east of China. They are one of the richest ethnic groups in China and in their provinces lots of signs are in both Korean and Chinese.

I love what Mikey is doing for local businesses. I'm in Melbourne, Australia so we are very restricted in what we can do - the best I can do for local restaurants is buy takeout and post on social media. I cant wait until we can go eat out again!

"that's my haunted barn" - i like how u casually said that...lol
I ate jajangmyeon yesterday and it was basically all onion 😔 it had tiny bits of pork and no potatoes. I was very sad but I finished it cause the sauce was good. Last time I had a good jajangmyeon I actually ate it with the crispy pork just like Mikey ! What's funny is I ordered it b/c I was extra hungry that time.
Mikes videos make my day. Best thing to watch after a long day at work while having dinner
"if you don't see this video, you'll know why" Makes me wonder what else I've missed.
The place you live at there in the woods is more scary for me than the haunted Island 😂
I went to school down in the financial district, and I do not know if it is still there or not... but Majestic Pizza was AMAZING and got all of us through late study nights in college.
Prince St., Pizza is my favorite pizza. I Take all my friends and some Instagram followers who are visiting to this place. I just love how flavorful it is as well as how it can be crispy and soft at the same time.
So hungry! Everything looks amazing, can't wait to get back to NY to try everything. My cousin's friend actually owns that tofu place, so exciting it was on your video, I sent her the link :). Have you tried Cha-an BonBon for Japanese desserts? The warabi mochi reminds me of Kyoto.
the amout of times my friend would recommend me to get prince street pizza, all while i can't go that far to Manhattan
It seems Mikey is excited to be back in NY like a true New Yorker ! He is definitely more enthusiastic than when he was in Seattle. Pretty sure he's happy to be back home to see his parents n friends !
I wish I could post a picture of what I'm eating. I made homemade fried rice with chicken and crab, yellow squash onions and carrots. Lots and lots of hot oil. Its sooo yummy. It helps stop the drooling from watching all the yumminess you post!
I thought I loved food until I watched Mikey.
