If you like Korean food, you might get mighty hungry watching this VIDEO in which I go thru the steps of how I invented the Korean Arepa last Friday. Basically it consists of an arepa which is made from pre-cooked corn flour. Be sure to use the one in the yellow or orange package marked "PAN" with a pic of a woman wearing a polka dot head clothe. Easy to find in South Florida supermarkets.
After it is cooked, open a pocket in the arepa and place spicy Korean style meat. In the video ordinary flap meat was used but given a nice spicy puncy because cooked Korean style. On top of the Korean meat, add some kimchi which you might want to cut up for a better fit in the arepa. Over the meat and the kimchi, add oyster sauce which works remarkably well to balance out the flavor. Finally, melt Swiss cheese over the ingredients inside the arepa.
The video will show you how to do it.
Flap meat?
Arepa?
What type of dog is that?...............
Kimchi? I’ll pass.
:)
It can be most any kind of meat but cooked Korean style to give it that special spiciness.
What's wrong with kimchi? If you find it too sour, the sweet oyster sauce balances it out.
Take away the meat and bread and you have the North Korean version.
Korean style meat? Seriously, what is THAT? Dog? Live baby octopus? Ground marinated cat? EEEEUW!
I think you like oriental food so you might like this. BTW, I live just a couple of blocks away from the biggest and BEST Korean food market in Florida: the Oriental Mart on University. 4800 block north. Near Commercial.
Isn’t this a reuben?
Greatest sammich would involve MEAT. Lots of it. No turd-smelling cabbage.
Yeah, I used to have the same attitude UNTIL I actually tried Korean style meat. Spicey with a kind of barbeque taste. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Not the sourness or the sweetness. It’s the stank!
Well, there is LOTS of Korean style meat in it. Oh, and kimchi is much superior to ordinary cabbage.
In a weird way it is like the Korean version of it. Instead of sauerkraut, it has kimchi. Not ranch dressing but oyster sauce. And both have Swiss cheese. However, the meat in the Korean Arepa is much spicier.
Korean Gyro?
The kind that doesn’t bark.
Loved the video, looks like a great sandwich!!! I think the half empty bottle of white wine in the kitchen, added to your excitement a bit...
Oh, and the other difference is the corn taste instead of rye. BTW, the arepas should be FRESH cooked since they harden inside within about an hour.
