I'm so sorry to hear that your mom doesn't invite you to family events. I'm sure you'd be happy to bring a vegan dish of your own, and there's also lots of Korean dishes that happen to vegan which she could make! I hope things improve soon
there's some activities like korean bbq and hot pot which are generally full of meat... it's difficult to do in two separated batches...?
Yes that’s very hard x
Some vegans are such fanatics they would not want to go around meat eaters.
@@KayDejaVu that's really rare though and clearly the lady in the video isn't like that
Same happens to me... my SIL's excuse was that she didn't know how to cook for me... when I ALWAYS bring something I can eat and share, and have said repeatedly I don't expect any special menu. Even in the unlikely event that there was nothing appropriate on the menu, I could just nuke a simple potato or something! Honestly I think the issue is their cognitive dissonance about eating animals they could never kill and gut themselves, so it's too uncomfortable to face, and I'm the unwanted reminder.
Honestly, as a person who was born and raised in Korea, I think your food already portrays your ethnicity enough as Korean. I can’t agree with those that say your food doesn’t have Koreanness. I mean what is Koreanness tho? I understand that when it comes to food, culture and traditions always follow and you have to follow these traditional recipes to make it more authentic. But I still think food is just a way that we remember our ancestors, special moments that we had with our families, or simply to remember who I am and where I belong to. So please disregard what people say about your food. Just by watching your video makes me feel comfortable as if I’m visiting my auntie’s place in the U.S. Your 유부초밥 looks amazing to me and since there are more trends for vegan in Korea now, I’m sure your recipes will be very helpful. 그리고 목소리가 너무 좋으세요! 💕
🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕💕❤️
Thank you! And I loved your reply. God has blessed me and I thank you again for your additional prayers.
Here’s a thought on the Koreanness of being vegan. My first vegan meals were in the home of South Korean Buddhist monk in Uijeongbu. I was a volunteer LDS (Christian) missionary, and she would have my companion and me over for lunch every Saturday. Traditionally her sect of Buddhism abstains from meat and eggs. She also cooked very traditional dishes that omitted dairy because they just do. She was a phenomenal woman who I will never forget for many reasons, but she’s very vegan and very Korean, and I think those things can go together quite nicely.
I agree! I met with Jeong Kwon Sunim a couple summers ago and it was so eye opening!
Well,to be you and to be a part of you family, I can’t answer to, my feelings, I am black; but I can say I know what it feels like to be separated from your family because of eating styles. Be courageous in whatever you do. And continue on your vegan journey. I found, where I thought there weren’t a lot of black vegans-I thought it was just a white people thing. There are a lot of black vegans. Just like your dad, black men have one of the highest rates of colon and other cancer. So, my reasoning for becoming vegan is of course, health. Read post from Tabitha Brown, Cheap Lazy Vegan-whose also Korean, and Sweet Potato Soul, just to name a few-if you haven’t yet. Keep up the good work!!!
Just a little about me: I’ve been in caregiving facility for the past year now. I discovered I had a brain tumor and have been on a road to recovery. It was hearing about red meat that led me vegan. Why is it a lot of other countries beside that US of A has gone vegan and knows about red meat which happens to be responsible for a lot of other diseases such as type ll diabetes , prostate cancer, hypertension, etc.
@@elizabethroberts2970 I’m praying for you to a have full recovery , much peace, and lots of joy❤️
@@elizabethroberts2970 May you keep healing! Look into frankincense oil which has the ability to pass the blood-brain barrier and shrink tumors. I have experience with this.
The story about not being invited because there was no vegan food for new years is just so sad. My mom would always invite me over on sundays even though I couldn't eat the food and even tried to make something suitable for me as well (german food is mostly not suitable for vegans at all). I would be heartbroken. Really so sad. If she wanted me to be there and I couldn't eat the food, she would warn me, but always invite :(
I hope your relations don't suffer from this anymore in the future.
Wow your mum is still supportive and included you in the family events
You should have brought vegan food with you and brought enough to share. Maybe you could give her the book How Not to Die by Dr Michael Greger. Ask her to go vegan.
I'm mexican and let me tell you our food is traditionally super heavy, contains meat and a lot of fat, but as I don't eat that anymore I bring my food wherever I go and when people ask me something I simply say "'I'm on diet". I think it's easier for them yo understand that, than if I would say I'm vegan 😆
Do you use meat subs for tacos? If so what kind?
I use impossible meat and it’s delicious 🤤
Also I never thought about using the “diet” excuse 😂
Can wait to start using this
Diet excuse is actually pretty good..of an excuse 😆
My family doesn't believe me because I'm fat. Also rip to my vegetarian tamales that my grandma threw over some carne asada because they weren't getting hot.
@@miyacoxlong2343
You can use jackfruit as a meat substitute :)
I make tacos like that every so often. You can get canned jackfruit at Trader Joe’s, Asian grocery stores and even Mexican Stores like Vallarta. Drain the brine, cut off the firm corners. The raw consistency is stringy like chicken once you mash it with a fork. Add your favorite seasonings and cook it on the grill, plus you can also make red or green mole tamales with jackfruit too. I hope this helped :)
I can relate I am Chinese and the only vegan yet alone vegetarian in my entire family, it was hard for them to understand it and most opposed to it, eating together was awkward but things have gotten better and I continue to stand by my beliefs. I notice my family has progressed to eating a bit healthier and more vegetables. ♥️♥️ It's okay, things take time, stay true to what's most important to you 💕
I'm with you friend! Born and raised in Beijing, been vegan for 3 years. There is a Loooong way to go for the Chinese community as traditionally speaking meat and animal products are not only symbolize health but also prosperity. Chinese culture is desensitized at this point. BUT, I am sure there are more than just you and me every day trying to influence people we love around us. One day at a time!
@@tiangewu3248 I’m not Chinese but I am a struggling vegetarian as I cook a lot of Asian food and my fiance is far from vegetarian 😂How did you stay vegan for so long? Do you ever consider going back?
@@miyacoxlong2343 Hi Miya! I was a pescatarian before went vegan. Your question is truly real. I think allowing yourself to try different vegetables and trying different fruits, imitation products event may help? Instead of thinking about limiting your choices, think about exploring new food. We ask ourselves to buy one new plant food a week to try just for the fun of it. Also, watching Cowspiracy, What The Health really really helped me cut the diary away. Best wishes to you and your fiance
@@tiangewu3248 thank you so much for the advice, have a lovely day 😊
@@tiangewu3248 i am also asian and i think our dishes lack the vegan options a lot.I try making our traditional recipes but there is always need for meat or egg so it becomes hard.Avacados are costly in my country.Wish there were more Asian vegan creators.
Nailed it on the hardest part of being vegan. I think it’s at the top of the list of all the vegans I know (myself included). The parties you are no longer invited to, the friends that keep distance etc’. After nine years, I have new good friends (not all vegan BTW) and my family gradually accept my way of life (at least stopped complaining and criticizing). ❤️
.
It's just so weird to me, i get that food can connect people, but my family has always made sure to made alternatives for me. I am vegetarian, not vegan yet... so that might make it a bit easier, but still, they always try their best. As for friends, we always looked for places to eat that also had a veggie option for me, I dont understand why its so hard for some people to adjust
At xmas my mum would just hide the meat in the kitchen, everyone was really nice about it, not when i was pregnant though, they didn't want to risk me puking so i was relegated to eat in the living room on my own, and that was my last xmas in our old family home, the house i was raised in, before my mum moved out and new people moved in, so sad.
As a Korean Vegan myself too (although I'm not an American), I totally hear what you said about the hardest part of being Vegan. My parents still ask me questions like "you still don't eat meat? Kimchi is ok, though, right? (you know most Kimchi has fish sauce or shrimp paste usually...)", thus I feel like I'm never understood for my choice and lifestyle. But I believe that they don't mean to hurt my feelings. Slowly but surely, they've been more accepting and my mom makes extra 반찬 for me whenever I visit. It was nice to hear your story and thanks for sharing!
I am a vegan as well . I always look for kimchi with no fish sauce on the vegan food section .
Vegan kimchi is available. It's so good
I respect you a lot for taking that decision in your community 👍
Hope so that everyone understand the importance of being vegetarian .
Side dishes are always where it's at anyway, imo.
Forks over Knives really changed my perspective too and led me to a vegan challenge for a month or two. That was almost a year ago and I still don't miss meat or dairy. Not to mention the healthy benefits from a plant based lifestyle...my body just feels happier being vegan
I just wanna ask you somethin..
Are you takin supplements..like vit b12..and d3..and omega 3 (algea oil)
You can still rip the benefits of a plant based diet without actually compromising in these three important Nutritients..
@@science-y9209 I do take a supplement that is specifically for plant based eating. It's high in omegas, B vitamins, prebiotic, iron, and vitamin D3 plus several others. I also get a well balanced vegan intake. It took a bit to figure out but it works out well and I don't feel like I'm lacking anything
I want to go vegan how does one start
@@maddmax4148 Look at what you are eating usually: what is maybe already vegan, where is just few animal products that you can leave out, or replace with vegan alternatives. And then explore the huge world of vegan recipes on RUclips - you'll find easy recipes, vegan "on a budget" up to anything fancy. Have fun : )
I ended up crying at 2am because I wanted a burger, but I admire those who r committed. Lol it was fun I lasted a month
The “lost” of community is definitely one of them. I remember getting into fights with my colleagues after we came back from a field training. While they wanted to eat at KBBQ, I wanted to have Vegan Korean Tofu Soup spot that had vegan friendly options. Nonetheless, i sucked it up and just ate salad and rice. My family is relatively supportive of my veganism but unfortunately, I must buy my own vegan food as my mom is unfamiliar with how to even cook vegan food. A beautiful story attached to a beautiful recipe! Thanks Joanne!
It's not hard to cook vegan. Tell her to use meat substitute for beef, tofu for chicken, and almond milk for milk. It's easy.
Being the only vegan in a large family, I always try to make my own meals. Since the majority of my family eats differently than me, I'd rather make mine instead of pushing the burden of cooking different meals to my mom (or whoever was assigned to cook that day)
You sound very entitled. Fighting? Really? Lower them fists missy.
I feel you on this. I feel like the hardest part of being vegetarian truly has never had anything to do with the diet itself, it's always been lack of access to foods and the perceptions from others about being vegetarian. The diet is super easy.
Veganism on the other hand is not a diet. It is the active refusal of taking part in injustice towards animals.
Not understanding your comment. I was vegetarian for 25 years (before stores even labeled or sold anything as vegetarian) before becoming vegan for about 9 years now. I never had an issue finding "vegetarian food" in restaurants, grocery stores, and even family potlucks. You can get a grilled cheese sandwich or a cream-based pasta dish anywhere, and if you eat eggs, like, whut? You can pretty much eat anything. Anywhere.
Try going to a family get-together and seeing that the beautiful salad has cheese all over it. That the snacky veggies only have a bacon-mayo dip. That the mashed potatoes have cream and butter. The green beans are swimming in bacon fat. The rice? Cooked in chicken stock, for "flavor".
As Winston Smith above said, being vegan is not a "diet". For me, it's a moral commitment. I do not want animal cruelty in my food. I regret every one of my 25 years as a vegetarian and wish I'd become vegan from the start. Pretty sure dairy animals and egg-layers might think their lives are a little bit harder.
If you're vegetarian, I highly reccomend watching dominion or just reading about the egg, dairy, seafood, and any other animal product industry. Being vegan isn't hard. You can make countless meals with just plant-based whole foods alone. The alternatives they offer to day are just a bonus!
@@colleendekoning3926 Cool for you but a grilled cheese sandwich is not a meal, it's junk food and where I live and especially where my family lives (very small village), there's not really any food without meat. They put meat in everything. Sorry to say this but not only your country and your personal bubble exists and a lot of people don't understand food without meat, my family included.
@@comedicsociopathy you shouldn’t be sorry to say that ever, people need to be reminded.
You’re probably older than me (I’m 27), and I really don’t know your family... but I need to say this, I’m sorry. I’ve been vegan for 6 years, and I’ve learned that when people want to be with you, being vegan is not an excuse not to invite you. There are no vegetarians or vegans in my family or close friends group. But they will always invite me for everything, and either ask what they can cook, or just ask me to bring something. When it comes to restaurantes, we always discuss if there’ll be options for me. If not, we make other plans. I’ve met people who did what your parents did to you and those relationships simply didn’t last. Even while dating, I’ve met men who made fun/didn’t care and I’ve met men who made arrangements so that food was never a problem. I don’t know if different cultures play a part in this, but it really didn’t sit well with me that your family won’t invite you “because there’s no vegan food”.
The hardest part about being vegan for me is other people's reactions to it. I have a cousin who, when he found out I went vegan, he said "what I'm going to do for you, because you're my cousin - whenever I have pork chops, I'm going to have an extra one just for you."
When I told my family, my mother and brother kept questioning why I didn't want to eat meat anymore for weeks, pretty much every time I ate.
I don't find it hard to stay vegan (I've been vegan for 5 years this month), it's the jokes and comments from other people, and how isolated I feel sometimes because other people look down on vegans. I have a sister who invites everyone over for thanksgiving every year, but she never makes anything I can eat, so I don't go. She puts chicken broth in everything, including the vegetables. If I had to make my own food to bring with me, I might as well stay home and cook my own meal.
Korean American here-adopted into a Western family who also doesn’t really understand veganism. Have you written a Korean vegan cookbook yet? I didn’t grow up with Korean dishes and wish I knew more about Korean cooking. If you haven’t already-please consider writing a cookbook! Just discovered you but love your videos so far.
I think she has a Korean cookbook in the works. She's posted about it on her Instagram
@@crystalo1186 yay! can't wait to buy it
Yep she has one!
Hi all! Let me know if there are any specific topics or recipes you’d like for future videos!
Have you found a good vegan bulgogi recipe that would be close to the real thing? I'm thinking of trying my hand at making seitan work for this, but I haven't experimented yet.
How about your favorite dish? :) I love all kinds of asian food. Several ways to make tofu would also be interesting.
What are some traditions you'd like to continue in your family?
Would love to see a vegan bibimbap please ❤️ preferably without any meat or egg processed substitutes?
Hello, thank you so much! I would love to see information on equipment for Korean recipes, tofu recipes, recipes with rice cake, Korean soup recipes, do you use specific online shop for your groceries for Korean/ Asian ingredients. Thank you
Love all your stories and recipes 💙
Thank you!!
Most hindus are vegetarian/vegans
I don't understand not being invited. :-(
Prayers for their arms, minds and hearts to open bigger. ;-)
I'm imagining how awesome the family table looks with mom's and your cooking presenting even more dishes to share.
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I too go through the same thing as a Brazilian since our culinary is heavily meat-oriented. Unfortunately for me veganism has practically severed the already fragile ties I had with my family. I've had a similar experience with my dad last year as he battled a throat cancer. I tried my best to convince my parents about how a vegan diet can prevent several types of cancer but to no avail
Lower rates is not the same as prevention, though. Like, don't get me wrong, slightly less risk of cancer is always good, but it's very different from no risk.
We made this last night for dinner with oi munchim and your sweet hotteok. This is going into the weekly rotation. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I always enjoy your chats and cooking they relate to my life stories especially to my vegan daughter. I had four black friends retire in the same year from LADWP, all four within a year had prostrate cancer. All four had helped me learn my trade and to be a better father to my black children, so I held them very dear. My friend Willie Knight filled a discrimination las suit against LADWP just before he retired, he was also pastor in a small church in Watts. He won the law suit with a little help from a friend. Sadly he passed away this last April and I could not see him due to covid. Food looks delish ty for sharing.
Your story and that of people in the comments was very moving. I teared up when you talked of feeling expelled from your community. I'm indian and my family is vegetarian but while my parents fully support me not consuming milk products I get a lot of flak for it from my husband's family. They take it as far as 'how will you bear children without the strength that milk gives'🙄. Milk is a constant argument & it also makes me feel guilty like I'm purposefully sabotaging my own health even when I know that milk is more dangerous to health. We all have our battles big & small so please know you're not alone & thank you for sharing your stories even tho they are painful.
P.S.: I love watching Korean recipes cos they seem to be eaten with relish but they're hardly even vegetarian so finding your channel has been a delight. I feel like I can finally try some of them!☺️
The sad thing is a lot of Americans have the misconceptions that milk makes you strong because of the false ad campaigns saying milk was good for your bones. It's not. It's actually awful for your bones. Milk is only good for babies and if you're having them, you usually can make that milk yourself. /rant
Hey my fellow Indian fam! DON'T feel guilty for not stealing another mother's milk! Your husband's family should learn from you and ditch animal cruelty as well! We have NO RIGHT to enslave animals and do to them what we wouldn't do to our worst enemy!
Be vegan and be proud that you are not taking and killing animals for pleasure. 💜💜
@@lawfulhusbands ahh thank you for your words, they mean so much!!
@@rus1962 it's my pleasure. Our vegan community may be small but we are growing by the day and spreading awareness. We must all do our part for the animals and stand up against oppression. Please do find more vegans online as that really really helps us feel good and join some activism groups if possible. There is Vegan India Movement on Instagram and you can follow them. Also, follow other activists like Earthling Ed and Joey Carbstrong to stay updated.
I don't know if you have kids or not, but if you do, please do raise them as vegans and with all your good morals.
Aww... Ignore ur in-law's ignorant remarks about milk. Tell them stress makes it harder to have babies so if they want you to have one, tell them not to stress you out! Or tell them they won't get to see the baby once you have one 😉
This made me tear up. Lovely video, but I have a hard time with my family too since starting my transition to veganism at the end of 2019. I'm 1/4 Korean 1/4 Japanese and 1/2 white mix (mom is 1/2 Korean from her moms side and 1/2 Japanese from her dads)
Your story is both compelling and beautiful...thank you. I went vegan after meeting a smart and friendly cow that was about to be sent to slaughter. The cow was following our conversation while signalling us to scratch her head and it broke my heart and i never forgot her huge brown eyes.
I don't think she's doing it for the animals. Not once did she mentioned animals and cruelty, only herself and health benefits...
I'm not vegan but I've been watching a few of your videos and this one touched my heart. My dad past away after his battle of prostate cancer. So while I am a woman it makes me concerned for my husband and our future children
I'm very much a fan of Korean food and considering leaning vegan (I'm basically 80% plant based and trying), but I want to thank you for sharing your personal journey! :-)
Thank you for this video. I believe the community aspect is for many vegans the hardest no matter from which culture they come from. This makes it even more important that we support each other. You are a very talented women and your family can be proud of you.
Being chinese indonesian i don’t miss out much of the family or community festivities. I’m always invited to all the family functions coz they think i would bring not only my own food but also something i can share w/ everyone. Also even at a korean bbq place i found something i can eat that’s essentially vegan
As a fellow Korean vegan/vegetarian, thank you for sharing this, I relate so so much with your story and it’s refreshing to find someone else who went through this experience. I’ve also struggled with reconciling my relationship with the food I grew up with (and cherish) and, subsequently, my family and heritage. Thankfully it gets easier and you get more creative/comfortable as you go but definitely something not far from my mind.
Thank you again - also going to make yubuchobap later this week 🤗
I teared up... thank you for sharing your dad story. I can pass this along to my own dad/brother/friends/etc
Love yubuchobap. I've only made them myself one time. This looks great! Thanks for sharing your story. Very touching. I have a very dear friend from Korea and she has been really kind about adapting her traditional Korean dishes to vegan versions and sharing them with me. I know how much animal and fish products are in Korean foods. But it really is not terribly difficult to achieve the amazing flavors of Korea without meat. So sorry you have had difficulties being accepted by your family and community. I really appreciate your recipes! Thank you!
The Netflix Doc called "The Game Changer" explains exactly what you are talking about. Very powerful documentary.
I’ve been a dirty vegan for the last year and two weeks ago my husband joined the club with me. It’s been a struggle for so long and the last two weeks have not only felt more freeing but the bond that’s happening in my marriage is beyond special. It was hard doing this by myself and I feel loved and cherished more now than I have in the past. Funny that there was so much tied to food😉
I think the hardest part about the transition is having to learn all new recipes and then having to alter those recipes to your liking. Of course, when you're a child, your parents teach you how to make meals and then you take those meals into your adulthood. Nonetheless, being vegan has broadened my awareness to so many spices and ingredients I've never even heard of. You definitely learn something new everyday
As always, your food looks SO delicious! And I love that you share your stories while showing us how you cook. It feels like sitting in the kitchen with friends preparing a meal together.
Thanks for sharing your journey into veganism. I too enjoy cooking to show/share love with whom ever is at my table.
Those tofu pockets are so good!!
I had been waiting for a while for this question to be answered by you, and damn I wish more people saw the negative health impacts that come with consuming dairy and meat. Health issues related to our diet is the most avoidable factor ever.
As a vegan, I too go through the social alienation almost, where I'm not invited to certain gatherings or when my friends want to try out a restaurant that doesn't offer vegan options, I almost prefer getting french fries and a tossed lettuce salad when I go out with non vegans rather than staying at home alone.
Agreed!!! Rather be invited and have the option!
I enjoyed your vlog. I've been wanting to cook Korean food when I found Maangchi's RUclips. I've also enjoyed eating the Korean dishes I've had. So i decided to learn how to cook Korean food. To my great surprise i made a few great dishes. I loved the stew that had pork belly in it. It had just the right amount of heat. And great flavor. I even cooked it for my colleagues, high school science teachers, it went over well. I was sho happy. THEN BAM !!
I had developed kidney failure, diabetic. I was told i could reverse it if I controlled what I ate. So I tried a detox program that was vegan or whole foods. I dropped my A1C, to nearly hypoglycemic levels, body fat, lower my body mass index, and reversed my kidney level direction. Since then, I had decided to go vegan. It's freaking hard. I never cooked vegan or whole foods. I never shopped for vegan dishes. I really didn't know what to do.
One of the things I did know was that I was going to miss cooking Korean dishes. 😭😭😭 I decided to ask the Korean cook vloggers I followed if they had Korean dishes that was vegan. I didn't want to stop learning about Korean food. They were so accommodating. They began showing lots of vegan Korean vegan dishes. I'm so glad I found you guys. I'm so happy to have found you. I can have my Korean food and be vegan. 💚💚💚💕
I’m not vegan myself (I’m vegetarian ) but I find your story’s and recipes so interesting
You are so lovely and your stories always move me! I'm definitely making this tomorrow, because for once I think I actually have everything in the kitchen right now. Haha! Thank you for the recipes!
Your stories and messages during your videos are so touching. Makes me reflect a lot. That paired with wonderful recipes, amazing content 💗
Thank you Joanne for your wonderful recipes and thoughtful conversations. 💕🤗
Joanne, thank you so much. For your storytelling and vulnerability, for your infinite recipes. You've made it possible for a Kosher vegetarian girl to finally have access to Korean cuisine and access to make it at home alongside your videos. You have a new and loyal fan! Can't wait for your cookbook :)
Just love... ❤️ being authentically you, which includes being Korean American, yes, Korean and American, can’t be changed by anyone else’s perspective. Love you and all you do to share and inspire. Thank you always! ❤️💯
LOVE your stories and recipes so much, thank you for your efforts and sharing the beauty of Korean cooking with us VEGANIZED!
Very nice touch on the commentary. I'm glad your Dad is well and the food, looks amazing.
You make being a vegan soooo appealing. I’m starting a 7 day vegan challenge starting tomorrow. Thank you love
How'd your vegan challenge go?
Thank you for your beautiful story and food! I'm always trying to find fun new recipes for the week night and for some reason I always come back to Korean food, I can't get enough all the amazing flavors. Usually I just try to veganize the recipes myself, I love seeing how other people do it.
Wow what a different take on a food channel 💖
I love it and I think it takes a lot of Moxie to share the way you do. Your gift of recipe with an intimate look inside your life. GO GIRL!!!!! Thank you
You absolutely deserve more views! I found your channel today and I've now seen several of your videos. I'll definitely send some links to my vegan friends. Keep up the good work! ❤️
I loved how you edited this video. Everything is so clear and it's so easy to follow along while listening to your story, that btw is so personal. So thank you for the recipe and for opening up to us :) I'm immediately subscribed 💕
🤍🌹 i am a greek - cypriot with refugee parents, who has lived forever abroad and always felt misplaced and not belonging. However, i feel absolutely connected to your stories, your food & its significance, the traditions, the comfort and the pain. I wish you were my korean cousin ! Your content keeps me grounded when i really need it and so close to home. Thank you 🌹
Thank you so much for the vegan Korean recipes!! Also your story is so moving🌱💙
I’m glad RUclips brought your channel to my feed...and happy I now know about your existence :)...love how poetic and authentic your post for this recipe starts. Thank you for all your recipes and openness.
I love the story, thank you for sharing it with us. Also, that looks so flavorful!!
The story about your dad developing prostate cancer and not eating meat anymore because of it brought tears to my eyes. You are a wonderful storyteller, Joanne!
Thank you so much for opening up 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I feel you and send you all of the divine Love 🙏🏽🤍✨ you’re a wonderful and strong woman
Looks so good! Thank you for the chat! I’m glad your are being so strong! I know the feeling.....in a way it’s very rewarding despite the cons. 🤟🏼
i listened to this video while doing other things, very calming! will have to go back and now catch the recipe ha!!
Thank you for sharing this. I can relate it more ways than one unfortunately. We haven’t had the best genes in my family and my dad is currently suffering by right now as well. Love the strength you show.
Enjoying your stories. I'm not a vegan, but I'm Korean American. I totally understand how your family and your community struggled when you became a vegan. Do you film your videos by yourself? Great visuals.
Yes I film, edit, write, and record everything myself! It’s a one woman studio!
This is the first vegan dish, other than stews and soups, that looks delicious. The commentary is moving. The music in the background enhances the video. I love this production. I've subscribed!
I love watching food but I love your stories telling even more. 💛
I always love watching your videos, I never thought I could cook Korean recipes, since they're a lot different from the French ones I'm used to but thanks to you I've tried it and it's so delicious, thank you so much ♥️
I love how soothing your voice is! As an outcast Chinese myself, I feel your pain about being excluded in any family/friends gathering. Its their loss though!
I didn't expect to cry on a simple recipe video but I did. The story about your father really moved me. My life was also changed because I watched Forks Over Knives one day 6 years ago and I still to this day admire the doctors that were featured in that movie, I often read their books and watch their lectures on youtube. The biggest sadness of my life was me being educated with all of this information and not being able to help those around me. My parents know all of the health benefits of plants and yet they still eat the same foods as always. I would give anything to keep them healthy for as long as possible but I can't do anything more. This is the first video of yours that I watched and I had to instantly subscribe.
I love the Korean food profile and am happy to have found a more veggie version so thank you - I was give your book as a gift and love it‼️
I love your chats & recipes. Thank you for your wise words of wisdom, so softly spoken with such a wonderful impact that resonates for a long time.

Omg this look so delicious I’m going to try this now. I’ve been looking up vegan recipes and this is amazing. Your story is amazing and you look so healthy. I can’t wait to learn more.
Your story was amazing.. I forgot I came here for a recipe. I’m forever subscribed now!! Thank you
Just to make you feel easy, I recommend you to travel overseas i.e., Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Nepal, India etc.... Where you fan feel the changes in flavours and you won't get bored of the vegan delicacies.
I understand you and as a food lover I really really thanks youre recipes!! As a latín American from a really meat eater country (argentina) I started this road in a relationship too and now he eats all vegetarian/vegan and tried to avoid animals products too, familys never suport at first but now they respect, still eat meat but when they wanna make us fell invited always add vegan meals now 🦄🌈💖✨
I am a vegetarian and I always wanted to try making Korean food that is meat-less. I am so glad to have found this channel! And after hearing the story about your dad and the vow you made to go vegan, I immediately tap Subscribe! You story touched me.
The way you have explained yourself is just beautiful. I love the way you talk and the clarity in it. lots of love from India.
It’s my first time watching you, and , wow, I love it. Your food looks aesthetically pleasing, and I’m sure it tastes delicious, too. But what held me captive was your calm and soothing voice. I’m definitely subscribing. 😊.
I’m sorry about the isolation you feel. I hope it gets better. 😊.
The food made me click on the video and the voiceover made me stay, please keep making content and don’t give up, I want to thank you for being vulnerable with us and sharing this part of you and I felt it in my heart and soul. Thank you 🙏
Thank You! These pockets are my favorite in the sushi world, now I can make my own...as soon as I find these at the Asian food store!
Loving your content, came here from your shorts on tiktok
love this, i was always interested in korean food but didn't see many vegan options, glad to see more :D
Losing community over choice of food is a harsh reality. I've experienced the same, so you struck a familiar note with your story
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing! It makes me happy to know that people like and your husband exist. I’m happy that you made the choice to have compassion for your body, for the animals and the environment. ♥️

Just found your channel! My mother is Korean and I've been vegetarian for ages, so I look forward to some familiar foods with a vegan twist! Kamsahamnida!
Fabulous video!! I love your stories & everything you make looks delicious & super Korean! 😉❤️
This is the first of your videos that I have watched. I love your format with this. Listening to you speak is soothing and totally love the content. The recipe is awesome! I must head to the Asian Market to try these tofu pockets! I've never seen them before!
I find your voice extraordinarily soothing to listen to ♥️
I just wanna say , you are brave and when I say brave it means you are passing all the exams of the life , you are strong enough to fight against any obstacles that comes in your path, just started watching your videos and love it ❤
Congratulations on this monumental moment, you are such a great artist with food, storyteller and awesome with so many things as we get to see what you contribute to the world.
Oh my god, the person from my FYP on TT! I had no idea you had a yt channel, so excited to watch all these videos!
Good wholesome advice and awesome cooking. Feels like you have been around forever ❤️.
Your husband is a good guy for getting you on the right path - you're awesome for staying on it and learning more about it and becoming such an awesome chef. Much respect. =)
Love your stories and recipes!! You’re awesome!!!
The algorithm said that I should watch you and it is right!! Love your stories and food inspiration!!
Thank you for sharing your story! I think my favourite part was when you shared about how you prayed to God. People confuse religion and our relationship to God as the same. This recipe looks so delicious and I am almost vegan so this was encouraging. I still eat occassional seafood, dairy, and eggs so I will learn to find the replacement for those too! I found out about mushrooms as seafood replacement so I'm looking forward to exploring all types of mushrooms this year.
Thanks for sharing your story! I have to try this recipe soon :)
Omg your story is so heart touching. That's terrible that your mom wouldn't invite you to those events; I would love to have a vegan dinner with you. Me and my boyfriend just started our vegan journey. You are supported!!
