Self Expression Through Gimbap: The Sushi Chef with Toyoung

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Toyoung, born in Japan and raised in Korea, expresses herself through pottery and gimbap, a Korean staple consisting of seaweed, rice, and other savory fillings. While Toyoung started her career as a ceramicist, she quickly began to realize that with every plate and bowl she made, she couldn't help but wonder what type of food would be served on it. She recently opened her own gimbap shop in Seoul with her best friend where all of her food is served on the pottery she makes in a small town outside of the city

In case people are interested in the difference between kimbap and maki sushi. -- Maki sushi uses roasted nori seaweed, kimbap is flexible with it's choices-- Sushi rice is made with rice vinegar, while kimbap typically uses steamed white rice (other rice are used) and flavored with sesame oil and salt. -- Maki sushi uses one or two ingredients, thus resulting in a smaller diameter. Where else it's common to use four - six ingredients in kimbap. Thus making it larger. -- Maki uses raw seafood. Kimbap does not, fillings are usually cooked. Some of the ingredients seen are, raw or pickled vegetables, egg, ham, immigration crab meat amongst many others. --Although they may be visually similar to the foreign eye, all these differences form different taste, texture, and experience. From the setting it's usually eaten in, type of seaweed and how it was prepared, the rice, ingredients following it, and size of the sushi/kimbap.

I tried to have an open perspective, but this episode missed the mark. I think it would have been better to have released it as a standalone feature. Firstly, as many comments have already stated this is not sushi. No sushi rice, no raw ingredients, barely any fish. I think it does Korean culture and sushi a disservice to try and present kimbap under the -Sushi Chef- series. A lot has been said lately with regards to -cultural appropriation- of food, and this seems like a blatant misunderstanding of what sushi and kimbap are to their respective cultures. Kimbap is a democratic food, an everyday kind of snack you have on-the-go. Sushi is an event. Most Japanese eat it as a once a week or monthly treat. At the end of the day, they are both still food, but for a lot of people sushi and kimbap are two completely different things that just so happen to appear similar.

A lot of confusion and fighting here regarding gimbap vs sushi and I'm hoping to clear it up: --Sushi is vinegar rice. That's the main requirement of sushi. --Gimbap means seaweed rice and therefore, the requirements are that there is rice and seaweed. --There is obviously a place where sushi and gimbap can potentially intersect, but the crucial difference is that gimbap is almost never seasoned with vinegar, and sushi doesn't need seaweed. All nigiri is sushi but cannot be classified as gimbap. Technically all maki sushi made with seaweed could be called gim bap. Because gimbap almost never uses vinegar, almost no gimbap can be classified as sushi. The korean word for sushi is chobap.

When my Korean aunts used to make gimbap for family get togethers, my cousin & I used to get the ends when they cut them. Good memories. Pleasantly surprised Koreans making gimbap were featured in the sushi chef series. Wow, what a beautiful relationship the two ladies have. We should all be able to profess how much we feel for our relatives & friends the way the one lady did. Nice job Munchies!

her legs: the curvature of the lumbar, knock knees, thigh spacing. -it's so appealing and extremely beautiful; -however, -it could be the hues and the shadows playing tricks on my visual senses. -the way her sashay is deliberate yet unforced. and her dress compliments this. -i really think that model art is the best form of art-all of this, right between 0: 47 & 0: 48; -that's where coitus lies.

What I like about this video. --She's is an pottery maker who loves the art of it. And the knowledge gained from it as, -I've. well, its a wise saying about plates Ive heard in ages. --What is a plate without food---Learned what Gimbap is. -That her husband professions one of my favorite hobby thing to do. -And I also love SUKIYAKI a SUKIYAKI party with lots of veggies and meat yummy.

well about that language thing - imo it sucks so bad, you just can't have a proper conversation at all, it's small talk. non stop smalltalk, not satisfying on a personal/emotional level. and yea im coming from this shit right now. if you like submissive partners and are a man/woman of few words, then its just the thing for you. If otherwise, don't even start with it
reply

all of you clowns in here saying this is not sushi are just so ignorant. sushi is merely seasoned/vinegared rice that is combined with something else. if you watched jiro dreams of sushi the emphasis is on the rice preparation. that's because sushi is all about the rice - because that is what sushi is - vinegared rice.

I love this kind of series. I can really feel what she is talking about and she seems really sincere and relaxing and probably I can understand completely what she tries to tell thru this video. (Maybe because I am a kpop fan for a long time) (Yay for running man next week! Myoui Mina)
reply

She's clearly not a sushi chef, so stop saying that this is not sushi, no one claimed it was! -She seems like a wonderful person and the combination of pottery and cooking sounds like a peaceful and happy life, I would love to go there and learn more! Thanks for the video Munchies
