I still have that.
28
Yeah, same.

She makes it look easy.

This is about to be the freshest Korean banchan.
46
So when you make a ssam, we're going to have a selection of lettuce.
47
Look at that!
48
You're good on those leaves, I bet.
49
Oh, no, no, that's fine.
50
Listen, I'm committed.
51
I will not rest until every leave is straight.
52
What's next?
53
Lift your visors a bit, guys, so we can see your faces.
54
Listen.
55
I'm at work right now.
56
Let's get the cabbage.
57
How am I pulling out the cabbage?
58
Just pull the whole thing out.
59
No, he's going to bring a knife for the cabbage.
60
Thank you for stopping me.
61
These giant cabbages, this is what they make kimchi with.
62
Wow.
63
Oh, straight into the head.
64
Oh my gosh.
65
That's a weapon.
66
That's a big boy.
67
Go on, Sam, emo.
68
I believe in you.
69
Confident, Sammy.
70
Sam, emo, sorry.
71
Yeah, come on, please.
72
The respectful term, please.
73
My first camera!
74
Yes!
75
Why does this feel like Animal Crossing?
76
This is my souvenir.
77
I'm taking this home.
78
Can I put this on a keychain?
79
Wow.
80
There we go.
81
I think I was forced to ask.
82
Looking good.
83
I want to live here.
84
That's a thumbnail.
85
I bet.
86
I bet this is a thumbnail.
87
I'm kind of flashy.
88
Can you put a song here and then, yeah.
89
Should we write a jingle?
90
All right.
91
We have more.
92
I'm going to take a look.
93
We have some specific Korean root vegetables that you have never even seen before.
94
Oh, hello.
95
These leaves, called Chinamul, we're going to harvest a little bit of young leaves and we'll make the banchan out of this one.
96
Okay, okay.
97
Banchan is sidey.
98
Just the baby ones.
99
Yes.
100
Oh.
101
Sammy's just digging in.
102
I love trying everything.
103
This is so good.
104
It tastes like a very green mango, if it makes sense.
105
Wow.
106
Oh, he doesn't want to try it.
107
It doesn't smell.
108
It's an adventure.
109
They're actually quite dangerous to try unless they're cooked.
110
It's time to go.
111
Let me call my mother!
112
Say my goodbyes!
113
So dead fast Josh!
114
That was quite a little.
115
I was like, wait, I think he was joking.
116
That revealed an inner earpiece.
117
That was lurking there, yeah.
118
Did you try to leave it there?
119
Yeah I did.
120
It joined me.
121
Suddenly the experience was washed away from that display over there.
122
What is that?
123
Doraji.
124
Now I know.
125
Say no more.
126
You know how we saw so many things at that market, and you're like, what the heck are these things?
127
Right, that was one of them.
128
Did you see the root?
129
It almost looks like a very thin parsnip.
130
This is todok.
131
We're going to make a banchan out of this.
132
Fantastic.
133
So this is todok.
134
Very, very similar to ginger in the way that it's presenting.
135
Yeah.
136
So this is doraji.
137
This is todok.
138
So you can tell they're kind of got a lot of similarities with ginseng.
139
Yeah.
140
Similar tasting as well.
141
Like quite a strong, a little bit bitter taste.
142
So when you're preparing them, you don't just eat them raw usually.
143
Have you been to a farm like this?
144
No, never.
145
This is amazing.
146
There was a great introduction to the Korean hospitality and the love
147
that Koreans have for their food and for sharing with the people around them.
148
You may have noticed as we passed all of these pots over here.
149
Almost every house I've seen in the countryside will have pots like this.
150
Oh my gosh, please.
151
Wow, look at that!
152
Here is the jenjang.
153
So that's the soybean paste.
154
Oh my gosh.
155
How long has that been there for?
156
This has been there for about two years.
157
Oh my gosh.
158
If you want to grab some with your spoon, yeah, go for it.
159
Thank you.
160
Wow, that is like...
161
Intense?
162
Intense flavour.
163
Oh, wow.
164
A bit different than the soybean paste you get in the UK.
165
Oh yeah. But...
166
Is it good?
167
It is really good.
168
But it's obviously hard in context, you're not eating it like that.
169
Yeah.
170
That and the sound, yes please.
171
That packs a punch.
172
Oh my gosh.
173
Oh my gosh, the amount of flavour.
174
That is incredible.
175
Oh, for later?
176
Yeah, how much do you want?
177
Please be useful.
178
The flavour on that is incredible. That almost tastes caramelly.
179
Oh, look at that.
180
And how long has this been here?
181
This has been here for three years.
182
I think you're not tasting it, you're taking...
183
No, you're alright, have a taste.
184
Have a taste yeah
185
i'm just a little bit they said it's going to be extremely salty you're just trying it by itself
186
that is delicious it's not very salty i mean that was saltier yeah yeah yeah
187
oh wow that's actually quite and then you get the easy
188
and then the spice comes through the end at the end yeah that's delicious
189
that is tasty tasty stuff oh my goodness you have to Yeah, the drenchant.
190
A tiny bit.
191
Yeah, yeah.
192
It packs a punch.
193
It packs a punch.
194
I'm thinking about that in the context of a broth or anything.
195
I mean, you only will need a little bit, and it's just going to permeate so much flavor.
196
Should we sit down and eat?
197
Absolutely.
198
Yes, please.
199
I've never seen anything like that.
200
All that herbs and spices.
201
Mmm, that's going to heal me.
202
Talk about privilege.
203
My gosh, this is incredible.
204
We're never going to get this experience ever again.
205
This is once in a lifetime.
206
And for most people, not even that.
207
I feel very moved by this one.
208
This is very special.
209
I hope you're hungry.
210
Oh, I'm hungry.
211
I mean, after all of that, I think we deserve a meal.
212
Yeah, we've worked so hard.
213
We've worked really hard.
214
This farm is basically alive because of us, obviously.
215
You see how well it's grown?
216
You see how it's flourishing?
217
You're welcome, guys.
218
We worked from home.
219
Hi, Robin.
220
You having a good time? yeah okay i'm having a great
221

222

223
so fun what's your favorite thing to eat mcdonald's oh good
224
choice high five okay do you guys want to come
225

226
that we picked so what's the vibe we sit cross -legged
227
or yeah or we recline like the romans wow look at
228
that oh my gosh I don't even have any language for that.
229
Look at that slow cooked pork.
230
What have you done, young man?
231
Can we just survey the jiggles?
232
I'm good at this.
233
I'm good at this.
234
I'm good at this.
235
I'm good at this. That means...
236
They swear fealty for life.
237
What a feast.
238
Firstly, here, this obviously...
239
That's the cabbage.
240
Looks like kimchi.
241
This is essentially fresh kimchi.
242
Let's taste it.
243
Kottori.
244
Oh!
245
Right?
246
Delicious.
247
Really good.
248
Crunchier and lighter than your average kimchi.
249
It's not as pungent.
250
I think that's literally the cabbage you picked.
251
If we were not here to pick that cabbage, you all wouldn't be eating.
252
Shall we try some of the roots?
253
So this was the thicker one.
254
You could taste the ginseng flavor in this.
255
And it's with gochujang.
256
A bit of gochujang.
257
It cuts through the flavor, makes it a bit less bitter, a bit less strong.
258
But it still has quite a distinct aftertaste.
259
I love the texture of that.
260
Yeah, but it's like a chew crunch.
261
Yeah, it's like a cooked carrot, but like a crunch from the turnip.
262
And a bit fibrous, but in a nice way.
263
The carrot and the turnip mix are ginger. But spicy.
264
Yeah, yeah.
265
Mixed with gochujang.
266
Yeah.
267
Alright, pork palate cleanser.
268
Now we're going to have to try a bit of the samjang.
269
This is bostam, which is essentially like braised pork.
270
Koreans know how to cook pork, man.
271
Yeah, the pork has been insane.
272
These two are best pals.
273
They're brothers.
274
They're twins.
275
Actual twins.
276
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
277
Oh my gosh.
278
That pork is so good.
279
Oh you put it in like a ssam?
280
Oh yeah.
281
Yeah, ssam dance. For me?
282
Thank you.
283
Cheers!
284
You're supposed to go all in one.
285
Sam knows her Sam.
286
Yeah.
287
Wow, look at that.
288
What's up with that?
289
What?
290
Oh.
291
Oh, Sam.
292
Oh, Sam.
293
Oh, Sam.
294
Oh, she's beating you.
295
Okay.
296
All in one.
297
No choice.
298
All in one.
299
Get it in.
300
Oh, you did it.
301
You did it.
302
You did it.
303
That's what that means. That was great!
304
Just cheers, Gibbs.
305
Oh, that's lovely.
306
It's delicious.
307
It's so delicious.
308
It's delicious.
309
The cucumber and the cucumber.
310
Thank you.
311
Mmm!
312
Mmm, so delicious.
313
It's good!
314
There's sesame in that.
315
I kind of forgot that I was old.
316
It's when I drank.
317
Oh, that root.
318
The root's lovely.
319
It's good, right?
320
There's just so much flavor in all of these ingredients.
321
Don't you think they'll work so well with the pork?
322
I've never seen black chicken before.
323
I've just realized that's chicken.
324
I thought that was fish.
325
Yeah!
326
That's right.
327
You know how they have black pigs?
328
These are black -skinned chicken, eh?
329
Smells so good.
330
Chicken.
331
Chicken, yeah.
332
Okay.
333
Mmm.
334
It's viewed as quite a healthy, hearty meal and has a bit of a richer chicken flavor than most chickens.
335
Yeah.
336
I would assume that because it's always for braising, is it like an older chicken also?
337
You're going to have to ask the chicken.
338
I didn't get that.
339
Ask the chicken.
340
Okay. So.
341
I mean it's heads right there.
342
I This
343
is the broth that the chicken was cooked in.
344
Oh my god.
345
Yeah Oh, that's the one.
346
This is what ginseng tastes like.
347
All of that fat and...
348
Yeah, feel and look gelatinous.
349
Usually when it's cooled down is when it gets to that stage, but this is so good.
350
I actually prefer that even to the chicken itself.
351
Yeah, try that.
352
Yeah, it's really...
353
Try that, it's so good.
354
The ginseng, oh, you can taste the ginseng.
355
I'm desperate to know what the deal with the chicken is.
356
It's black chicken.
357
It's good, isn't it?
358
That's freaking good.
359
That's right.
360
Oh.
361
I think it's that broth with some rice, I think.
362
Oh my gosh.
363
That's going to be incredible.
364
Oh.
365
It looks like porridge.
366
Sam, you were saying you wanted chook.
367
Oh my god, yes.
368
Stop saying that.
369
That's going to be ridiculous.
370
Oh my word.
371
I mean, look at it.
372
It basically looks set.
373
Look at the waffle on that.
374
Are we ready?
375
I'm so ready.
376
Oh my god.
377
No. Just no. What do you mean?
378
It's too good for mouths.
379
It's too good for mouths.
380
Because I haven't had ginseng before, I'm trying to pick out what it is.
381
You know that end taste that tastes quite herbally?
382
That's ginseng.
383
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
384
Here we go, here we go.
385
Try that.
386
Ginseng.
387
Extremely good for your health, good for your stamina.
388
It's like right in me.
389
Good for everything.
390
Oh, that's a lot.
391
But did you like it?
392
No, not on its own.
393
It's a background flavour.
394
But it doesn't linger in that way.
395
It's actually quite clean.
396
Holy moly.
397
It's something else.
398
Whatever you have, you're cured now. That chook healed everything.
399
Oh, it did.
400
The memory of that chook heals everything.
401
It was, oh my gosh, it was just phenomenal.
402
Yes.
403
Oh, wow.
404
Intense, right?
405
That's just like root.
406
I don't know, man.
407
It's like the most root.. rootiest root flavor.
408
Wow!
409
Oh!
410
Speak of the devil, literally.
411
You know that's coming alive at night, don't you?
412
Oh, wow!
413
Oh, and they're.. oh my gosh, I feel so...
414
They're giving us some, my goodness.
415
Oh, thank you so much.
416
Oh my god, this!
417
This stuff is precious.
418
Oh my.
419
Am I hairless?
420
Am I hairless?
421
So it's soju and in ginseng.
422
Oh my word.
423
Are we downing this?
424
I wouldn't.
425
No, it's up to you.
426
It's up to you.
427
It might be easier.
428
Yeah, cheers.
429
Down the hatch.
430
Let's go it.
431
Let's go.
432
Burned away.
433
Burned away for life.
434
Wow.
435
That has gotten stronger with age.
436
Guys, I know I've changed on this trip.
437
This might be a bridge too far.
438
I thought you could.
439
Everyone's having a thirst today.
440
YAYYYY!
441
You know what?
442
We need a bit of meat in order to flush away.
443
Oh yeah?
444
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wait.
445
He has one shot of soju, he's like, I don't need any food, I'll just keep drinking.
446
That keeps living.
447
That's the tip, guys.
448
Yup.
449
That's what I expected soju to taste.
450
I think some of my organs have been disintegrated.
451
Is that crab?
452
It is crab!
453
I'm going to put a lot of rice in the sea.
454
I'm going to put a lot of rice in the sea.
455
I'm going to put a lot of rice in the sea.
456
Look at this.
457
This is ganjang gejang, which is essentially raw crab.
458
Wow.
459
Okay.
460
I have no frame of reference for that.
461
I mean, even ceviche though, it's a totally different thing because you're having normally like a fleshy fish.
462
Totally different.
463
And that's literally a whole crab.
464
Yeah.
465
But with rice.
466
Wow.
467
Look at that.
468
I mean, this one bite.
469
I'll do it in one bite.
470
That's a big bite.
471
Oh my god.
472
mouthful that's a lot of raw crab and rice let's do it
473
that's a big mouthful it's gonna it's gonna be wild so we hear a comment i think
474
then it's some fresh crab yeah really fresh it's really tasty
475
and it's like you definitely taste seafood the soy sauce with it i think it's really really tasty the texture
476
and the rice so i think the chili yeah helps give a bit of crunch
477
if not everything else is just like yeah yeah soft because Crab often is quite meaty, right?
478
Yeah, but raw.
479
Whereas when it's raw, you lose all the meat.
480
It's just slimy.
481
Yeah, I feel like I really appreciate that.
482
And in my brain, I can see that it's good.
483
But it's maybe not my taste.
484
When I first tried this, I couldn't handle it at all.
485
Oh, really? So intense.
486
It is one of the most intense dishes.
487
It's something that Gabby, like my wife, craves every time we come to Korea.
488
Oh my gosh, that booze is still...
489
She's lingering.
490
Because you have tried the ganjang gejang, you tried the soy sauce crab you need to try the
491
yang niom crab oh this yeah as you saw omonee doing
492
with the other crab she's grabbed sort of body part of the crab
493
and squeezed it onto the rice you can just do
494
that right into your mouth it's very gingery this is tasty
495
oh yeah i love this one okay yeah this is like
496
a korean crab ceviche the other one was very clean you
497
have to really love the flavor of the crab itself to be into that it leans into the walnuts Yeah, but this doesn't mask it.
498
You can still taste the crab, absolutely, but it's almost like you've got the other flavors that are bringing out the sweetness there, which is like...
499
Yeah, this definitely tastes, the crab tastes sweeter in this one.
500
Well, I think certainly in terms of the Korean food that I know actually is embarrassingly limited.
501
I order from my local Korean takeaway.
502
I get the kimchi pancake, I get the tteok -boki.
503
There's certain dishes, the bulgogi, that you think, oh, that's the beginning and the end of Korean food.
504
Yeah.
505
But being able to, particularly I think when you are seeing the produce, literally like pulling it out of the land,
506
there's like a complexity and a broadness and a nuance
507
that is so much more than just those like flagship dishes that you know about.
508
So I'm finding this very, very precious as an experience.
509
Yeah.
510
We would not have been able to experience this if we were not here with you guys.
511
You come to Korea and you think, like you said, you have the very touristy Korean type of food, what the world knows.
512
And I never thought about raw crab, fish and chicken and just all of this together.
513
And it's just so nice to be fully immersed in the Korean culture.
514
Korean produce.
515
Korean produce and to be in someone's home.
516
That is the biggest thing.
517
It's like we both of us as chefs, we cook for our friends and our family in our homes.
518
And then to have that people do it for us in return.
519
and strangers, that's something.
520
Because it's interesting, when you become a chef, people get funny about cooking for you.
521
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
522
Which is sad, which is sad.
523
It is sad.
524
Because we cook for people constantly.
525
Yeah.
526
But no one is going to be like, oh, let me cook for you because you've cooked me a whole meal.
527
But people's first instinct is, I'm never going to cook for you, you're a chef.
528
But it's not even about the food.
529
It's not because I'm like, oh, I really want to take a break from cooking.
530
But the reason why we love to cook for people over and above giving them food is delicious, is an opportunity to share your heart with someone, to like show them love,
531
to nourish them like inside out, really show them your culture.
532
Yeah.
533
So to be able to experience that at the hands of someone who I've never met before, that feels like a real moment of.. privilege
534
and i mean i'm just watching young men's little girl out
535
there it's like this is like that's actually what it is
536
it's like connecting with someone's family their heritage yeah the things
537
that matter to them yeah the generosity that we've experienced this trip
538
so far yeah it's it's it takes the it actually takes
539
the deliciousness of the food to a whole new level yeah yeah
540
and i find quite touching is literally people feeding you from your hands there's Something very beyond language.
541
It's such an innately nurturing act.
542
I mean, maybe less so when Imokasi put the fermented...
543
Yeah, the fermented stingray in my mouth.
544
That was more an act of oppression.
545
I only ate it because of her hands.
546
Yeah, if anyone else had given that to me, I would have flicked it straight out.
547
Wow!
548
There's more.
549
Oh, that looks great!
550
Look at that!
551
Oh my gosh!
552
What?
553
Pineapple and watermelon?
554
Pineapple and watermelon?
555
Oh my goodness!
556
It smells so good!
557
It smells so floral!
558
It smells incredible!
559
Yeah!
560
It's Korean cider, which is not actually cider.
561
It's essentially Sprite.
562
Okay.
563
Oh, that's so clever.
564
Cheers.
565
Cheers.
566
Have a little sip of that.
567
Oh, I mean, that's about as refreshing as it gets.
568
I'm going to do that when I go home.
569
Mm -hmm.
570
Holy crap.
571
Look at the color of that tomato.
572
Mm.
573
Oh, this is...
574
Mm -hmm.
575
Oh, my God, the tomato.
576
This is, yeah, I know.
577
Did you have that?
578
Oh, yeah.
579
Of all of the things in this, the tomato isn't the thing I was most excited about.
580
Have it, and then you tell me...
581
Yeah?
582
Mmm.
583
Oh wow.
584
Right?
585
The watermelon.
586
It's so sweet.
587
Mmm.
588
Right?
589
The watermelon.
590
It's so sweet.
591
The watermelon.
592
Oh my gosh.
593
Mmm.
594
Oh my son would be absolutely losing his mind over that watermelon.
595
Water lemon.
596
Oh my gosh.
597
It's ridiculous.
598
It's ridiculous.
599
It's somehow absorbed all of the sweetness and a little bit of the acidity from the pineapple to make it extra refreshing, you know, like a heart lemonade. Is this...
600
Every family does this.
601
Is this a Korean thing?
602
Like, Ji, have you had this before?
603
Yeah, when I was young.
604
Really?
605
Yeah, yeah.
606
Some younger generation would be so doing that.
607
Oh, I can imagine that's a vibe.
608
Gibson's like, let's try that.
609
Like...
610
That makes sense.
611
Oh, makgeolli.
612
Mmm.
613
Oh, the makgeolli would be good, because like the milkiness.
614
Oh, yeah.
615
This is truly, truly special.
616
It is so much.
617
Incredibly special.
618
I feel like, I don't know where young men is.
619
Where's young men gone?
620
We need to properly thank him and his family.
621
This is...
622
Oh my gosh, he's bringing most of...
623
That's the one we wanted to try!
624
Oh, yes!
625
Oh, what's that?
626
Oh, you guys haven't seen those before, huh?
627
No, what is that?
628
It's chamwe.
629
Oh, yeah, yeah.
630
I know that one.
631
It's like a Korean melon.
632
Oh!
633
With the seeds as well, we eat the whole thing.
634
Eat with the seeds?
635
Yeah.
636
Okay, all right.
637
Let's go out. For one.
638
I wonder if it's the middle that's bringing the sweetness and then the outside is actually bringing this quite like firm crunchiness.
639
That's delicious.
640
It tastes like a bell.
641
There's a lot of things that we do very well in the UK, but naturally like delicious produce like this is just no match.
642
My goodness.
643
What a day.
644
What a day.
645
Was it this same day that we were in the service station?
646
Hell yeah.
647
Feels like a week ago.
648
Eating like a body weight in like lightly tried food.
649
Kind of ambring.
650
But it's okay, we had the chug and we're healed.
651
Whatever it heals you of, I think you got again when you had the ginseng.
652
Oh, yeah.
653
If I was a child and I saw that before I went to bed, I would have nightmares.
654
It's like cruel to you.
655
Yeah, it does look like it belongs in a horror film.
656
Thank you so much.
657
This is so sweet.
658
I don't have the tools.
659
You have to thank her, please.
660
She's so great.
661
Yeah, this has been so special.
662
Thank you, thank you so much.
663
I don't have the tools to show the gratitude I'm not sure.
664
I'm not sure.
665
I'm not sure.
666
Oh, man, I don't know.
667
Sorry.
668
I'm not sure.
669
I'm not sure.
670
Which is what you said is, thank you for the meal before you start eating.
671
And then the end, you say, I'm not sure.
672
I'm not sure.
673
I'm not sure.
674
I'm not sure.
675
I'm not sure.
676
This rolls off the tongue.
677
Yeah, I will forget that in 30 seconds.
678
You knew that.
679
Yeah, I was following this guy.
680
Yeah!
681
I got told the Korean and I'm...
682
Hey!
683
It's gotten you this far.
684
If you've got toddler Korean, I don't know what we have.
685
It's like a fetus Korean.
686
That for me was one of the trip's highlights.
687
I found it so humbling that they'd invited us onto their family home.
688
There was this really beautiful sense of pride they had in what they've toiled over.
689
And being able to share it with us was just a really amazing moment.
690
I had hoped for an experience like that
691
because I get really excited about produce and just people who care about the ingredients and like taking good care of them.
692
And that was just completely epitomized in that.
693
I mean, they were pouring their whole lives into that.
694
I wished in some ways that like I could have got to just like stretch
695
that meal overall across a week because each thing deserved its own like attention
696
and I felt like I was so excited by everything
697
that was being put in front of me
698
that I almost want to go back and just like have like half an hour to think about that.
699
And then, Youngmin's mother -in -law.
700
Oh, I mean talking about incredible women, this matriarch of this family, just phenomenal.
701
And sitting cross -legged and just having her service, it was so, it was a mum's house.
702
It was so like wonderful.
703
We both immediately, as soon as it was over, I need to call my family.
704
Yeah.
705
Because there's only so much I can speak to my parents about a good meal.
706
And they're just going to go, yeah, it's food.
707
OK, relax.
708
But like this obviously was relatable for them also, too.
709
Because like my dad loves to see fresh produce and he's going to see this tree he's never seen before.
710
They also understood why this was such a special experience for me.
711
They then also felt like, oh, this is actually happening.
712
And we're so proud of you.
713
And this that that was really was a really nice, nice experience.
714
Let's do Onurun Yogi Gachi, I think.
715
My favorite part of the day.
716
Every day, as I'm walking to work, Onurun Yogi Gachi.
717
Onurun Yogi Gachi.
718
Bye!
719
We've come to Majanggong for some Hanun, and that's Korean beef.
720
The only place in the world you can try it is here in Korea.
721
Oh!
722
Oh!
723
Gosh, you could really knock someone out with that foot, couldn't you?
724
I've never seen that foot in the night.
725
Whoa!
726
My life is made!
727
What the hell?
728
Where am I?
729
What is this life that I'm experiencing right now?
730
If it's not Hanu, don't give it to me.
731
Yeah, exactly.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
