During the years that she was addicted to online gaming, life for Emily Kim began when she got home from work at 6 p.m.
“I would shower quick, and eat something, no matter what, so I could start playing my game,” said Ms. Kim, a.k.a the YouTube Korean-cooking star Maangchi. “And I wouldn’t stop till 3 a.m.”
In 2003, divorced and with her two grown children out of the house, Ms. Kim ventured into the online role-playing battle game City of Heroes and couldn’t pull herself away.
Maangchi, pronounced MAHNG-chee and meaning “hammer” in Korean, was the name of her online avatar, who specialized in destruction, wielding a huge scimitar and wearing a tiny miniskirt.
Finally, she said, in 2007, her children persuaded her to try a more nourishing form of Internet expression: cooking videos. “I had no idea if anyone would watch me,” she said, “but the Korean recipes I saw in English were full of mistakes, and I wanted to show the real way we do things.

She is excellent, except I think she has too many fussy steps.
I was on Jamestown’s cooking thread this evening and wrote about canned sardines. Here is a good recipe of hers that uses canned mackerel. It is not company great, but if you already have Korean ingredients in your cupboard and in your fridge, and canned mackerel in your preps, this is easy ( and not fussy) and good.
Basically, this is a kim chew stew with potatoes and mackerel. Apparently, her friend goes camping with kim chee.

Some Koreans make a living being paid to eat online.
Korean food is so photogenic. I watch Korean dramas and they food in them makes me salivate.
Here’s a drama for newbies to start with that has just a hint of food, however, it is very involving story, well paced, terrific OST (original sound track) and very expressive actors.
There is some violence, no sex, a suggestive plot, but mostly great cinema. It is told in 20 episodes.
Write me back, to tell me what you think.

Twice, wow. I found one Korean restaurant on Staten Island listed. The gal and I will go try it out.

VERY cute, but she’d look better with traditional, straight hair, IMO.
Oh, the food looks tasty, too....
I watch her videos on Roku. I also like Honeysuckle Catering’s, and Seon k Younglongest’s Korean cooking videos on Roku. Two Crazy Koreans is fun, too.
Alittle ditty I wrote in praise of Korean Cuisine:
Bibimbop (c 2003 LTOS)
I was visiting Korea
When i stopped to eat, in Seoul
I was served some pickled vegetables
arranged neatly in a bowl
Like the moon over a rice field
An egg was sitting up on top
Some meat, some rice, some hot sauce
They call it Bibimbop
Don’t leave the Barbequed meat on the side
Take it and the rice along for the ride
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop
Bop Bop, Bibimbop
Bop, Bop, Bibimbop
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop.
If you pick at it with chopsticks
You’ll be sitting here till noon
So mix it all together
And eat it with a spoon!
Once you get a taste of it,
you’ll never want to stop
Don’t mess with tradition
When you eat your Bibimbop!
Don’t leave the Barbequed meat on the side
Take it and the rice along for the ride
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop
Bop Bop, Bibimbop
Bop, Bop, Bibimbop
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop.
“...’cause they cooking everybody!”
I love that they serve their food in heat retaining bowls and plates. But I do feel sorry for whoever has to wash the dishes, because there are many little side dishes to wash.
I traditionally have my birthday dinner in a Korean restaurant. I like to be able to cook the meat in the individual table-side grills.
I think Korea has changed tremendously, because it is growing more prosperous by the day. Even in older Korean dramas, the amenities and signs of wealth so more impressive now.
I dig eating kim chee, just not the aftermath of eating kim chee.

In most ways they’re richer than we are. One example: Their high-speed Internet penetration rate is practically 100%. I probably wouldn’t recognize the place.
