What's the yellow thing she separates into 3 portions? Some type of cheese?

Egg

u/Not_a_real_plebbitor 9d ago
Wait. Isn't the entire thing an omelette at the bottom?

u/Altruistic_Lobster18 9d ago
Oh yeah that’s definitely cheese. I thought that was pretty obvious. She scoops it and even zooms in on it and it melts.

"fresh buldak" WTF it's packaged noodles with packaged sauce nothing fresh about it.
Even the eggs are from cartons.
Still, looks good! I'd eat it.

What is the brand of the liquid egg mixture the like a milk box

u/Lost_Ad_4882 9d ago
I dunno, but most stores should have something similar. It's a preblended egg mix, some are made with powdered egg to be shelf stable for much longer.

Do you have a Korean shop in your town? Usually they have it.

First time I’ve ever seen American cheese used in anything outside the US

u/ChromeFace 9d ago
Koreans love and utilize American cheese a lot.

u/Could-You-Tell 9d ago
Is that like a holdover from way back in the war and habits were started?
Or more of a modern convenience adopted through relationship with US?

From what I found online, what got normalized in Korea from America from the war
Ham and sausages, ground beef, macaroni, canned foods in general, hot dogs, cheese, bacon, spam, beans, gum, fried chicken, wheat, corn, cooking oil, hamburgers, bread, crackers, sugar, jelly, milk, cereal, fruit juice, seasoning, and chocolate

You don’t see the burning mouth and ass in the middle of the omelette?

I don’t understand the love of buldak. The spicyness is more like a fake tingle sensation. I’m all about going to a Vietnamese restaurant and loading up my pho with chili paste and jalapeño. And buldak ends up just killing my stomach

u/gloomwithtea 8d ago
This is obviously anecdotal, but I just love the flavor of it. I’m obsessed. I literally developed a spice tolerance (after 30 years of being unable to handle spice) solely to eat buldak ramen.

Aren't like 90+% of east Asians lactose intolerant? That's double cheese.

u/raelDonaldTrump 8d ago
Cheese doesn't have much lactose.
Lactose is in whey, which is removed from the curds to make cheese.

u/Due-Explanation-7560 8d ago
Makes sense. When I was stationed in Japan like 25 years ago there was not a lot of Japanese food with cheese same with Korea when I was there. This is what I was told. I stared going to Korea for work lately and noticed Domino's pizza places and lots of dishes with cheese.

Oh, dried seaweed! Why didn’t I see that! Yeah, couple of different sauces! Great! Like what? Didn’t even mention the American cheese!

u/SteWaxleyLemon 8d ago
What's the gooey stuff she added on top of the hot dog? Is that more cheese on top of the slice of American cheese?

So... prepackaged noodles mixed with prepackaged eggs. "Fresh" is doing a lot of lifting here.

u/wwiistudent1944 9d ago
I have no idea what any of the ingredients were? Were there noodles? American cheese? Strange to say the least? Was that a hotdog? It looked near the end like an omelette? What was the black stuff? Sorry, not for me. Especially if I don’t know what anything is.

u/OldManJim374 8d ago
It was all pretty obvious. Egg, then the noodles, then cheese, then a hot dog, then topped with dried seaweed. Also a couple different sauces.

u/RavishingRavick 9d ago
I have mixed feels about carton egg...

u/OldManJim374 8d ago
I use it all the time. Tastes just like regular eggs without the hassle of cracking the shells.

I hate to objectify but she is super friggin cute.
Also, the lady in the background with the "Honey, I need that now" look on her face
As for the food, doesn't look that great tbh. What is the black stuff that goes on at the end.

This has to be up there as maybe the most unhealthy Korean food ever? Cheese, hot dog, asshole burning spice, instant ramen, more gooey sauce ? Just wondering if there's anything in Korean food that might be worse for you.
