Benji thank you for all the amazing content! Honestly love how you take the girls out to the shops and have them so involved and learning these life skills at such a young age!!! You and Judy are amazing!!
Hi! There’s a “korean pancake mix” (부침가루) you can buy at hmart or asian grocery stores! It has seasoning(salt +sugar)/ baking powder in the mix already so you get a perfect fry with using the product! You can make pajeon/kimchi jeon/zuchinni ( any vegetable, really). This is what korean people use to make “batter” lol. I hope your family and Julianna will be able to try it one day! Thanks for all the wonderful videos Benji! 😊
Thinly cut zucchinni deep fried is so delicious , it's like fries very crispy and thin but i've only had it once at a local greek restaurant since my family never deep fries only shallow fries.
My grandmother ( Nonna in Italian) would make dandelion greens. I think people ate them during WWII and the Great Depression since food was rationed. The closest H-Mart to me is in. Chicago. I have always wanted to check it out. I wish we had more Asian grocery stores here in Northwestern Indiana.
I love that you are teaching the girls Japanese and making them wanting snacks into a teachable moment. I could definitely see JMK going to college in Japan, the Phillipines, or Korea. I was born and raised in Napa (Napa Valley) and our neighbor growing up was a pilot for JAL and a JAL pilot instructor as a fun fact, all JAL pilots in training will train at the Napa Airport. My neighbors wife was always so sweet and kind, she was incredibly hospitable, she taught me how to make ketcup rice and taught me Japanese. Mind you this was like 35 yrs ago, but i remember it like it was yesterday
Dandelion is so good for! You can eat the entire plants even the roots!! Its also a coffee substitute from the root! Best to take them from a place where you know they dont use pesticides. Or just plant it!
I enjoyed watching you guys shopping at H Mart. It influenced me to go shopping at the H Mart out here in downtown Vancouver. Although there were certain items I couldn't find in the storemade pickled section that you had pointed out and I couldn't find their storemade Kimchi and just picked out another brand. But it does make a difference when you buy Kimchi from an actual Korean supermarket. They have a vietnamese supermarket out here called 88 supermarket and they carry a lot of interesting herbs and asian vegetables. Also a variety of fish sauce. So you get different options.
Next time definitely try the spicy anchovies!!!! So freaking good, even my Indian husband who is picky with his seafood loves that anchovy side dish with rice 😋😋😋
Benji you should try making your own galbi!! its pretty straightforward and you can control the sugar content/use fruit instead. My mom makes her own and its worth
Benji, I love your videos! I love how you ask questions about certain foods if you’re not certain. It definitely opens a door to learning more about foods. Just fyi, Sweet rice is glutinous rice 👍🏼. It can be used as a dessert or with any kind of protein. My family and I love eating in place of regular rice. It’s great to use it as a travel snack or meal with bacon 🤤
Get short ribs from Costco or Sam’s club & marinate it on your own, definitely cheaper! We like to use store bought marinades as well from CJ brand, I use the chicken & pork marinade on the short ribs.
You can use the package with variety of vegetables to make bibimbap (fried rice). Just add pkg with vegetables, rice, sesame oil, and Korean red pepper paste.
Sam's Club short ribs are cheaper. There's 2 Kalbi Marinades that are awesome and can be found at Walmart. #1 is Sempio Kalbi Sauce, # is CJ Korean BBQ Sauce. Marinate 2 to 3 days it's good to go.
@@BenjiManTV i just noticed that they closed down a Sam's Club in Washington State 8 years ago, that's too bad. Hawaii's Sam's Club has good looking short ribs laid out nicely in the container where you can see all the ribs, and it is sold at a great price. I use the Instant pot to cook the short ribs in the sauces i suggested for 25 min. & it comes out really tasty & tender.
Hello, I enjoy watching you when you explore all the Asian grocery stores. I would love to see you randomly explore Minnesota. And explore the different types are Asian stores we have here.. such as… Hmong Village shopping center Hmong Town Asia Mall Dragon/Double Dragon store and many more.. Along with our farmers markets
I don’t know if you read comments, but pls go easy on the yellow dragon fruit. I love it but it has laxative effects. Pls don’t eat too much, cos it’s hard to resist!
You are the best parent. You are attentive to JMK as well as the littles. I understand Judy adores the littles cause they love that she does not discipline them. Thank you for raising well behaved and mannered children.
Please less rice. When you ate rice daily you were not having donuts Cheetos fries etc. You girls eat so much carbs and they need protein to develop muscle tone. Please I want to see them in track meets tennis and swim meets😅😅😅😅
Looks like the HMart in Lynnwood. The fruits and vegetables are not high quality. They spoil quickly. I go there for ingredients to make my own kimchi. Much cheaper that way.
and just like that I learned Japanese too hahahaha thanks kuya Benji hahahaha now I'll do that trick to my 8 yrs old daughter whenever we visit hmart haha
i think jb is talking about jeon which is a korean pancake/fritter with a variety of different fillings! there’s seafood jeon, kimchi jeon, etc. any vegetable would work! just thinly cut the zucchini and lightly fry with korean pancake/fry mix (they sell it at hmart) 🫶🏼🫶🏼 they even have frozen and premade versions of the pancakes! i’ve seen the kimchi ones at hmart
That is great that you are teaching the girls Japanese! I have watched some Korean cooking and I have made that zucchini. They also dip other veggies and even very thin pieces of beef in the egg and fry it. Thank you for the fun trip to the store!!!!
That jackfruit was not looking good! I love jackfruit… although it’s a mission to peel, it’s best to get a whole fruit versus the cut up version! I love Asian fruits. ❤
We just got our first HMart In Utah a couple of weeks ago. I got lucky because it’s only about 10 minutes away from my house. I’m so excited to go check it out. I’m hoping they carry the same things you’ve shown and recommended!
We love buying thinly slice brisket also. Lettuce wraps using green leaf lettuce, sliced garlic, & sliced jalapeños. We like to use saamjang paste or sesame oil/salt/pepper as a dip.
You can use that vegetable medley banchan tray to make bibimbap :- )) mix all that in with rice into a huge bowl with a fried egg, beef, gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, & sesame seeds. Its how my mom fed us for cheap but it was always a fav
130 usd for a bag of rice?bro wtf i love h mart and shop there sometimes when i am craving Asian food(I am Eastern-European in heritage) but thats insane.
The zucchini you pan-fried is called hobak jeon but any veggie, fish or meat (even spam!) can be made into jeon. Jeon (as in jaw-n) means pan-fried fritter in South Korea. ❤ Also, did you know that the Philippines and Mexico have a lot in common specially in food and produce because of the galleon trade?! Cheers to more food content and learning a bit of history about it too!
Korean food has their traditional food and then they have food influenced by Japan and China because of their history with them. Japan occupied Korea. A lot of people think Black Americans influenced Korean Fried Chicken but thats not true. A Korean businessman went on a trip to America and tried KFC. He decided to sell it on the corner of Lotte mall and business started booming. Thats how Korean fried chicken started
a tip for choosing your mangosteen that my mom taught me , if you squeeze it and its rock hard it is no bueno. you want to be able to be press it a bit
I love how when there’s no regular vlogs Benji still steps in and gives us some content 💛💛
i gotchu!!!
Benji thank you for all the amazing content! Honestly love how you take the girls out to the shops and have them so involved and learning these life skills at such a young age!!! You and Judy are amazing!!
i'm trying. thanks.

as a person who enjoys grocery walks, i approve Benjie’s efforts in letting us join him in his trips

One of my favorite store
Missed opportunity to get their perilla leaves to make sam with the kbbq. Such a flavor bomb.
Next time 😎

I have a vlog idea ‼️maybe you can go to Ross or Target and have girls pick out a date outfit for you and Judy. Would be nice 😊❤ had to share 😊
sounds scary but fun lol
Benji sweet rice is actually sticky rice. You can ask for it at a thai restaurant. :)
recipe for the fried zucchini please
Sam's Club short ribs are cheaper. There's 2 Kalbi Marinades that are awesome and can be found at Walmart. #1 is Sempio Kalbi Sauce, # is CJ Korean BBQ Sauce. Marinate 2 to 3 days it's good to go.

Hello,
I enjoy watching you when you explore all the Asian grocery stores.
I would love to see you randomly explore Minnesota. And explore the different types are Asian stores we have here.. such as…
Hmong Village shopping center
Hmong Town
Asia Mall
Dragon/Double Dragon store and many more..
Along with our farmers markets
Hmong… I need to try their food!!!
I don’t know if you read comments, but pls go easy on the yellow dragon fruit. I love it but it has laxative effects. Pls don’t eat too much, cos it’s hard to resist!
Benji that is so expensive buy that Korean short rib at Costco! Most you should pay for the cut is like $10.00/lb
agreed. i actually just bought some and marinated/cooked yesterday. was delicious.
Persimmon~ I would say is more…. traditional dessert vibe rather than delicacy in Korea
i believe freshly made kimchi is less dank/stinky
Love hmart! Glad you love my culture food! Haha
i do. korean food is underrated
Sweet rice is also known as glutinous rice ☺️
Japan is home of mochi
You guys definitely have sweet/glutinous rice 🍡
right?! thanks.
Benji 🤣If you bring your daughter to Japan I would teach them Japanese free
You are the best parent. You are attentive to JMK as well as the littles. I understand Judy adores the littles cause they love that she does not discipline them. Thank you for raising well behaved and mannered children.
Please less rice. When you ate rice daily you were not having donuts Cheetos fries etc. You girls eat so much carbs and they need protein to develop muscle tone. Please I want to see them in track meets tennis and swim meets😅😅😅😅
They are not your children.
It's the snacks they overload on when Benji is not watching.
we're converting them to a carnivore diet this week
Looks like the HMart in Lynnwood. The fruits and vegetables are not high quality. They spoil quickly. I go there for ingredients to make my own kimchi. Much cheaper that way.
Thanks for sharing!
miya's japanese pronunciation is so good!
Benji, the variety pack of side dishes is for Bibimbap. Put it over rice, drizzle sesame oil & red pepper paste with a fried egg. Enjoy!
Soy sauce instead of red pepper paste for the kiddos
Sweet rice = sticky rice. People eat it with papaya salads, meats, etc.
and just like that I learned Japanese too hahahaha thanks kuya Benji hahahaha now I'll do that trick to my 8 yrs old daughter whenever we visit hmart haha
your welcome
With Benji and the girls i am learning japanese😊
Wooo I want to learn Japanese too!! What do you use to learn? I’ve tried to use duolingo
i think jb is talking about jeon which is a korean pancake/fritter with a variety of different fillings! there’s seafood jeon, kimchi jeon, etc. any vegetable would work! just thinly cut the zucchini and lightly fry with korean pancake/fry mix (they sell it at hmart) 🫶🏼🫶🏼 they even have frozen and premade versions of the pancakes! i’ve seen the kimchi ones at hmart
Aww i def wanted to see the girls reaction to all the korean sides! I def recommend trying other kimchi brands besides Jongga too :)
Chef Benji, I enjoy your shopping and cooking videos. When are you going to open your own Asian/American restaurant? 👏🏾❤️😊
maybe a pop up shop but no plans for a restaurant.
Be careful with the yellow dragon fruit, it’s so delicious and sweet, but it’ll make you go to the bathroom real quick lol. It’s a natural laxative.
Whoa. Good to know.
Be careful of yellow dragon fruit. Too much and you will be in the bathroom. But it’s so good for you.
That is great that you are teaching the girls Japanese! I have watched some Korean cooking and I have made that zucchini. They also dip other veggies and even very thin pieces of beef in the egg and fry it. Thank you for the fun trip to the store!!!!
:)
For entertaining thats not alot of sides Good mix of sides!
That jackfruit was not looking good! I love jackfruit… although it’s a mission to peel, it’s best to get a whole fruit versus the cut up version! I love Asian fruits. ❤
Also sweet rice is just sticky rice but yes can be used for desserts too
Me too. Asian fruits for life
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We just got our first HMart In Utah a couple of weeks ago. I got lucky because it’s only about 10 minutes away from my house. I’m so excited to go check it out. I’m hoping they carry the same things you’ve shown and recommended!
I’m excited for you. B
Love these KBBQ videos 🔥
We love buying thinly slice brisket also. Lettuce wraps using green leaf lettuce, sliced garlic, & sliced jalapeños. We like to use saamjang paste or sesame oil/salt/pepper as a dip.
To make the zucchini the Korean way ( Hobak Jeon)..its usually sliced, coated in flour, dipped in egg, then pan fried!
I love to shop at H Mart …
me too
Try the sesame leaves kimchi .. it’s soooo good especially with rice and meat. 👍🏼👍🏼
omg would love to see a video of how to make korean fried chicken at home with some of their signature flavours!!
i would love to eat it!
Fried zucchini and squash is very southern here in the US as well.
Laver is seaweed.
Favorite pickled daikon radish is bottled and made in hawaii. With chili flakes is preferred. Kind of spendy now though.
I thoroughly enjoyed this entire video ! Loved shopping at H mart and then seeing you cook and the final product !
Yay! Thank you!
Persimmons are also popular in Central America and mexico
thats a very good way to buy them stuff 😂
In Taiwan we have marinade vegetables too. They are usually sweet and tangy with soy sauce base or garlic. 😊
Yum
yellow dragonfruits are the best!! super sweet i love them
Yes they are!
🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖😘😘😘🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👋👋👋
You can use that vegetable medley banchan tray to make bibimbap :- )) mix all that in with rice into a huge bowl with a fried egg, beef, gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, & sesame seeds. Its how my mom fed us for cheap but it was always a fav
Kore o kamasu ka = Are we/you going to buy this? Kore o kaitai = I/we want to buy this. THat's the difference between the 2 phrases.
Now I want to have Korean bbq at home! This looks so yummy.
130 usd for a bag of rice?bro wtf i love h mart and shop there sometimes when i am craving Asian food(I am Eastern-European in heritage) but thats insane.
Loved this Benji!
Laver is seaweed!
Thank you!
The zucchini you pan-fried is called hobak jeon but any veggie, fish or meat (even spam!) can be made into jeon.

Cheers to more food content and learning a bit of history about it too!
That’s makes so much sense. First time hearing galleon. Thanks for sharing.

love that story. thanks for sharing it
I think it’s really cool you’re encouraging the girls to teaching the girls to speak Japanese.
Hope they can learn enough to speak.
a tip for choosing your mangosteen that my mom taught me , if you squeeze it and its rock hard it is no bueno. you want to be able to be press it a bit
good tip thanks.
Hmart is over price..I like to go to Arirang Market in Fullerton CA
hope to check it out one day
is this a chain in your area?
So far in California and in az. He is in Washington. I’m in AZ
Yes, we do have sweet rice in Japan! That's the rice to make fresh mochi :)
So cute to hear you guys practicing Japanese~~~🥰
I could watch you cook all day lol
i'll keep cooking if you keep watching!!!
The way all 3 of them just came to you with the “Daddy we saw some snacks….”🥹🥹🥹
my niece and nephew grew mushrooms at home it's very easy
nice
