HUGE thanks to Patrick for joining me for today's video! You can follow his TH-cam Channel here: youtube.com/@patrickkoellmerinchina?si=XJ7TJEtrOaqcbwY8
in the southern tip of yunnan province.. we have the dai people...the original dai (thai people) that ancestors remained in China regardless of wars on mainland China during the mongol invasion in the 1300-1400s. At harbin, we used to have lots of russian refugees that escaped lenin revolution that toppled the russian empire..there are still some russian with Chinese citizenship at the north eastern provinces of China, also some at xinjiang..russians + tartars.
It’s super interesting seeing the Chinese-ified version of all these Korean dishes (although not sure if they’re more North Korean style vs South Korean style) It all looks so delicious! Really want to visit now.
The type of Korean spoken in Yanji is the Hamgyŏng dialect, which is also spoken in North and South Hamgyŏng, and Ryanggang Provinces of the DPRK. The food shown here is traditional northern Korean cuisine, as well as fusion. The go-to northern Korean dish is naengmyeon which is a cold noodle dish made from mainly buckwheat. It is served in a large brass or stainless-steel bowl with a tangy iced broth, julienned cucumbers, slices of Korean pear, lightly pickled radish, and either a boiled egg or slices of cold boiled beef or both. Spicy mustard and vinegar are often added before consumption. It is symbol of peace as it was served at a Panmunjom summit between Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in in April 2018. Another northern Korean dish is bulgogi. Bulgogi is often affiliated with Seoul, however, the word bulgogi is a compound word meaning "fire meat" that is derived from the Pyongan dialect of what's now the western DPRK! It was introduced to the southern parts of Korea by refugees after the end of WWII.
I'm curious- do you know how kimchi was prior to peppers being brought to Asia from the Americas? Was it just like the other pickled vegetables in that area?
Yanji feels so far away all the way to Korea, but I didn't realize there was so much food and would love to have the opportunity to experience it. I also grew up in the north, in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the local mutton, snacks siu mai, including milk tea are different from the south, with Mongolian characteristics, meat is abundant, welcome Amy and Yuxiang to visit!😊
V need more *Aussies* like Amy to show the True color of *China* !! NOT❌ those brainwashed on Americans media- Aussies!

Many of these cuisines are very reminiscent of traditional Korean cuisines where you mix in the rice with the crab inners or food wrapped with lettuce or other kinds of leaves. Also the mijiu is the same as the Korean Makgeolli rice wine where it is also drink from bowl. I guess none of these should be surprising considering the location proximity to Korea. You can also get many of these similar cuisines in South Korea as well.
yueah, there are literally millions of ethnic Koreans that live on the Chinese side of the border, to the extent that as she said it is an autonmous prefecture. The long history of Koreans in China is very interesting, including that more recently, during the 20th c. the Korean resistance to Japanese occupation ended up becoming based in Norther China.
korean culture is closely related to Chinese cultures. The son learn alot from the father. problem start when the son start claiming that its all theirs and the father (chinese) copying 'their' cultures.
Ooh the seafood looks legit! Here on Long Island in New York, we're famous for our seafood too, specifically our Blue Point oysters! Blue Point oysters put the world-famous Grand Central Oyster Bar in NYC on the map! I'm glad you're showing some love to the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture! Yet again, you show the amazing diversity of China and just how many ethnicities call the nation home. It puts into perspective just how big and incredible China is. And of course, the passion of these ethnicities is shown through their food and the fusions they create when coming together! The autonomous prefectures like Yanbian have as much of a story to tell! The Korean history of this autonomous prefecture is rich. Modern Koreans are descended from the Yemaek who lived in northern Korea and Manchuria. Yanbian is home to the Ancient Tombs at Longtou Mountain, the burial sites of 12 royals from the ancient Balhae kingdom. There was a huge wave of Korean immigration in the late 19th century and after the foundation of the Republic of China in 1912, a second wave arrived after Japan brutally took over Korea. Over a million of them remained in the region at the end of WWII, and during the civil war, many Koreans fought for the communists! In return, when the PRC was founded, the PRC gave these Koreans their own autonomous region in 1952, which then became an autonomous prefecture in 1955.
oh damn i'm learning about korean history from a cuban american in the comment section on an american food vloger on youtube in China. magic of internet
kim il sung, kim jong un grandfather was from yanbian..he spoke good mandarin, joined the chinese communist party, fought the japanese in China..after ww2 ended, he was appointed by stalin as the leader for the newly founded dprk.
Thank you for introducing Patrick. His videos will help me learn Chinese better by listening to his pronunciation and sentence structures. I often still use English structures and phrases but replaced with Chinese word for word - which I'm finding is often incorrect. Like I'm learning they don't always use the same translated words in the same context. For example, they don't really say "hi," instead they greet each other by saying "you good" (ni hao). Quite a challenging language to learn.
It's interesting to investigate the original meaning of what people say in their native language. Like in french Bonjour and in Spanish Buenos Dias , they both mean Good day. And even within China, there are such difference. For example, I tell you is the same in Chinese Mandarin as in English, but in Cantonese, it is said as I word you know.
@@Crystalbomb321 No it's because the people making this food are literally ethnically korean... Do you think there's Korean writing everywhere in this video for no reason?
This vid literally makes me drool and smile at the same time!! So glad that you and Patrick showed us how varied and distinctive food in Northeast China is!! I'm planning to make a trip there soon and your vid is so gonna be my guide when I'm there!! Apparently, another draw is how cheap and cost-effective eating out is in Dongbei!! As a Chinese, I'm so jealous of all your food adventures across China. Thanks for all the great vids so that I can live and eat vicariously with you!!~lol
Thank you for all the wonderful food content that put out week after week. I really enjoy watching every food adventure you go on as it always puts a smile on my face, especially for days when I’m feeling down. Keep doing what you do and thank you for sharing your travels and food tasting explorations in China to the world!
as a Korean it was so interesting to see the Yanbian regional food that's so familiar to the Koreanfood I grew up with. Thanks for the great video, looking forward to the next!
But you know what?many chinese korean get recism from koreans when they come to korean. they were criticised as rebels of korean. what a crazy contry.@@shenghe9861
The crab reminded me of our great meal at Harry’s Walsh Bay crab restaurant. I wanna go again!!! So yum. This is not an ad but I’m happy to be sponsored 😂 Can’t wait to do some food adventures with you again
10:00 EVERYTHING, from the alcohol and the food on the table today, is Korean!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Makes sense since it's on the border. Still, I was surprised that I recognize allll the food/drink! 😊
There is a lot of possible energy on this video-thank you Amy for colab with Patrick-excellent content. Enjoy watching you with someone who loves the food and culture as much as you.
Oh damnnnnnn! I have kept saying this quite a while ago whenever I saw an Amy’s food vlog of Changchun or Dongbei. I even commented once under one these videos like “so shocking that you’re based in Changchun but still have NOT been to Yanji which’s in the same province and Yanji is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular city of having amazing food in the trio provinces of Dongbei! And yes again, Yanji is my hometown.
I felt like halfway through the episode it switched to Korean Englishman and I missed it. Naengmyeon, maekgolli, bo ssam. I mean I know you said the Chinese words for all of these but like, that's a Korean meal. Awesome.
well even native speakers have grammar, spelling, and all other sorts of issues in their own language to master. Amy is phenomenal not just for her language mastery (which is incredible) but for her genuine love and respect for the locals she connects with.
Really great video showing different food from Yanji! I’d love to try them all! Especially that prawn/rice/seaweed combo haha also Patrick is so handsome I instantly subbed to his channel😂🥹
the thing about yanbian is that a lot of cuisines were brought back from south korea as a lot of chinese koreans went to work in south korea in the past decades. i grew up on the countryside (收登站) in jilin city at my grandparents and they were surrounded by korean neighbors. i grew up playing with their kids around my age, and when i went back to visit my grandpa this year after covid, all the korean neighbors were gone, and i been told ALL of them moved to south korea, like all members of the families. Crazy! but I was hoping to see some of my childhood friends, but well.
It was very interesting to see Chinese cuisine with North Korean influence (cold noodles) and Korean influence like the ssam (lettuce wraps). Amy got it right with the one bite ssam! 🙌
I am from a nearby city called Tonghua ,those sea food are from Russian, that crab is called snow crab.Yangji has lots of amazing food there,but the price is a bit expensive compare to my city
I would love to see you explore Kaifeng. This town had a Jewish population since the Silk Road was a main path for traders from the West. Most of that population has since left to Israel, but I'm curious how they might have influenced the food there. I understand there is one hutong where the synagogue was, still in existence. I'd love to learn and see more. Also, Shanghai took in many Jewish folk trying to escape the Nazis. I'd love to see their influence on cuisine there too. I haven't looked at your survey yet, but am curious to know the details of the plan, especially costs, and requirements. Thanks, Amy.
Gosh, that food looked so good! Here in Hawaii Korean restaurants serve a cold noodle called "naengmyeon," which comes with a soup (spicy or not) made with shaved ice. It looks just like you the noodles you had and is so refreshing in our hot climate. I see someone mentioned it below....I always order it with the bulgogi he also mentioned, which comes sizzling on a cast iron plate with sliced onions...yummy!

@@Hassan-zz9xolol I thought you were trolling for a sec until I saw the OPs picture 😂
Supreme leader knows best!
Bao could mean “wrap” in Chinese too, not necessarily be “bag”.. so the translation could have been “Wrap rice” literally
People in yanji were just sooooo nice and the food was awesome. I loved every meal we had🎉

Many of these cuisines are very reminiscent of traditional Korean cuisines where you mix in the rice with the crab inners or food wrapped with lettuce or other kinds of leaves.

rice wine is quite popular in South China but now ofter used for cooking
Because the locals are Chinese Korea ............

Wow! I've always loved "border food" (if that's even a term). It's super cool to see food traditions merge.
Everything and the Chinese / Korean fusion looks delicious.
Yanji is my hometown! I’m so excited 😆
Same here dude. Where u now?
So happy! It’s truly a joy to have tried a wide variety of Chinese cuisine and visited places that many Chinese people haven’t been to.🎉

As someone who used to live in Korea, I'd really like to go there to eat. The food looked familiar yet different!
It’s mostly regional North Korean dishes such as the cold noodle dish, and some dishes are a fusion of northeastern Chinese and Korean dishes.
조선족음식은 한국과 거의 같다고 보시면 됩니다.
Matching the crab leg back to the original crab is a good idea to make sure you got the right one you ordered. 😆
mouth watering video, more on these border cuisines please. Thanks Amy
We always appreciate you shelling out to show us the very best China has to offer. This video is such a mouthwatering example! :D😋

It is a special fusion cuisines from the borders of China and North Korea.

the cooking on shell is probably similar to cooking using a dutch oven, the shell obsorbs the heat first, and even distribute to the meat
Everything looks so yummy... especially the scallops... yum...
It was nice to see a video with Patrick, and some interesting dishes. I hope you get to try a lot more in the area.
Why does the German guy’s face look disgusted when tasting the food but then states “itz zo gut” 😂
His body language does not reflect what he says.

Always good to have food adventure with others like Peter and now it’s Patrick.

That was spicy as well 😅 hahaha 😂

the presentation is awesome
I loved Yanji when I went. Paektu Mountain is beautiful.
the thing about yanbian is that a lot of cuisines were brought back from south korea as a lot of chinese koreans went to work in south korea in the past decades. i grew up on the countryside (收登站) in jilin city at my grandparents and they were surrounded by korean neighbors. i grew up playing with their kids around my age, and when i went back to visit my grandpa this year after covid, all the korean neighbors were gone, and i been told ALL of them moved to south korea, like all members of the families. Crazy! but I was hoping to see some of my childhood friends, but well.
very korean dishes
