- Korean food isn't unfamiliar to you, regardless of whether it's traditional or fusion. However, there is a type of Korean food that you've probably never heard of: Soviet Korean cuisine, which was born and exists in Central Asia and Russia. What is Soviet Korean cuisine? What are the differences from traditional Korean cuisine? How did Korean food end up there? In this video, I will use morkovcha, kuksi and pigodi to unveil the story of Soviet Korean cuisine and the Koryo Saram.

finally someone is talking about this! Keep up the good work. Hopefully we'll see more videos in the future :D :D
Thank you for your support! Please come back and watch more videos in the future.
This is such a great content, I'm from Kazakhstan and we have massive and very rich Korean community and their cuisine is a favorite among other cultures and nationalities
Thank you for liking it! I'm glad that I was able to share a bit of the culture and its food that you can relate to.
When i lived in Korea, I had the opportunity to try it. I lived in Gyeongju and there were a lot of Russians and Central Asians there. I went to their markets and got to eat their food on occasion. Really enjoyed it
This is amazing! I'm glad you got to meet them and enjoy their food!
Really interesting cultural and political history! Thanks for the research!
Thank you, Aaron! I am so glad to see you here!!
Such an interesting video ✨ Culture + food is perfect combination to watch. Great video.
Thank you for watching!
Wow, that's an emotional story of diaspora.
Wonder how did the Uzbek branch of the cuisine eventually joined up with the Japanese Island branch?
Thanks for watching! The Uzbek branch actually didn't join with the Japanese branch. There are two groups of Korean diaspora living in the Soviet Union. One originates from North Korea and moved to Russia's Far East, then resettled in Uzbekistan. Another group is originally from South Korea and moved to Russia's Sakhalin Island. They were moved by the Japanese, hence the mention of Japan. Pigodi is a typical Korean Sakhalin food, though it gained popularity in the former Soviet Union states. The long distance between these two Korean groups didn't hinder the exchange of dishes, so you should still be able to try pigodi in Uzbekistan.
Морковча, Юккедян, Кя, Сюнда, Хе this are my favorite, i live in America now and I cannot find these great dishes in LA.
If you ever come to NY, be sure to visit Cafe Lily - they have all the dishes you listed! There's another one called 'Cafe at Your Mother-in-Law' that used to be located in Brighton Beach, but sadly, I was told that the owner has passed away. I've heard that the family recently opened a new one called Eddie's Fancy Food.
@@savorthrutimewithSJ omg I will come for sure!!! I'm going to NY in June
@@aidoskashenov4532 Enjoy! You might meet the owner; they're always there. It's located in the neighborhood where people from the former Soviet Union reside.
Make a video on Indianised Chinese Cuisine: a cuisine with a history dating back to 1773 when the first throng of chinese immigrants set up the first chinatown in India. It is so popular that indianised chinese food is a permanent fixture in a standardized indian restuarant menu accross India. The descendants of these chinese immigrants later immigrated in large numbers to Canada for economic opportunities in and set up Indian Chinese restaurants known as Hakka restaurants. The Hakka chinese formed the majority of early chinese immigrants. The Hakkas are known as the Chinese jews because they created a monopoly over leather industries in the old capital of India - Kolkata. They were the first to introduce refined sugar to India. Today, the most common word for sugar in Hindi is 'Chini'.
There's an independent indochinese cuisine developed in Kerala (Southern Indian province) that has half a millennia older history than the current indo chinese cuisine. As a coastal state, Kerala used to trade with chinese traders and found cultural exchanges being done via food as well. Today one of the dish from this cuisine finds a place on the traditional kerala sadhya (traditional meal eaten on festivals and funerals).
This is so fascinating! I didn't know that the Chinese has influenced Indian cuisine at some point. I will definitely keep this in mind and might even make a video about it in the future! My next series is about Indian cuisine, and I will surely mention Kerala, so stay tuned!
@@savorthrutimewithSJ Please do make one! Another funny thing with indo-chinese cuisine is that it has so many influences from chinese diaspora cuisines as well as led to completely new dishes being developed by indians using a mix of chinese and indian ingredients. For example, American Crispy Corn and American Chopsuey are imports from American Chinese cuisine and yet found its way into the most popular indianised chinese menus accross india.
Even Tibetan immigrants helped establish the craze for this cuisine. Dishes like Thukpa (noodle soup) and Laphing (thicker version of jianbing) are considered very trendy street food here in India. Even tibetan dumplings called MoMo (that looks exactly like chinese jiaozi) have gotten so popular that it ranks as the 5th most popular street food in Indian cities.
Looking forward to your video on Indian cuisine. Do let me know if you have some questions on the topic of your next video!
@@parker4406 Thank you so much for sharing! In Jackson Heights, NY, there is a block called Little Himalaya where Tibetans sell MoMos from street carts. This block is adjacent to another block inhabited by a South Asian community, where I often see people lining up for MoMos. That explains their popularity!
Great video though I know this cuisine for a long time now but I guess most people do not know and care because they know nothing about history at all. So thank you for making this video ✨
Thank you for the comment! I was intrigued by the story when I first heard about it. It was a sad yet resilient story that deserved to be remembered.
Couldn't agree more ❤️
Wow, I loved this video, it's so informational. I love how well-put it is! It's so significant how food and cultural identity are tied together, learning about it really opens to new experiences. I'm so glad that your channel exists, I can't wait for future videos! 🩷
Thank you for watching and loving it!
What a Stalin thing to do… damn.
