emperor could not have same food often, so it was usually hard for the emperor to have a favourite food as it carried the risk of people poisoning the favourite food. there was always a new rotation of the dishes that came out. the modern day royal cuisine is a collection (normal meal even for the emperor did not exceed 12 dishes) of what the seonbi (the upper class academics) ate with alcohol.
they had that, it was one of many procedure that was in place to stop attempts at poisoning. like all alcohol was made by a select few people, ingredient and its growers were hand picked and only grew produce for the king and such.
corncerial also, how much of the Emperor's food was chosen by the imperial doctors? I know they even had hot and cold (health, not temperature) foods to match temperament. and of course aphrodisiacs and birth control foods! way ahead of their time
*laughs* I was sitting here watching this, having just had dinner, .... and yeah... totally was like "Can I have some of this? I'll even eat the broccoli!"
If youre reading this, and you hate brocoli, keep in mind that u probably ate a shitty made one, because there are ways to cook brocoli that makes it taste fabulous
Tacio OB im a chef and I hate broccoli too, ive cooked it every way conceivable and my hate for it hasn't changed!!.....the one time I enjoyed it was when it wasn't on my plate
Korean royal cuisine is also known for it's rather restrained flavor. They cook the food by gentle heating to keep the food something the emporer could eat everyday without being possibly upsetting to the stomach. That's why things aren't cooked til they're browned. And the food is mostly kept mild in spice.
Tasted many Korean foods whenever I go back there, but never ate like the Kings before...jealous~~ Btw, I admire your courage to dress in Hanbok and walk on the streets and the restaurant lol
This video reminds me of a Korean historical drama I used to watch called Jang Geum about Korea's first female physician, who started out as a cook for the emperor
Love watching your food & travel videos! You are one of the few travel vloggers that I follow coz of your love of food & positivity. Keep up the excellent work!
I'm a light eater too. My plan? I'll bring friends. We'll buy one of these huge multi-course meals, split the food, split the bill, all enjoying a taste of each dish.
I am 100% Korean and my mom "disciplined" after I told a lady at church I hate broccoli. That discipline stick not only hit my body but hit my soul because now I eat everything and anything with a smile no questions asked.
If I were Emperor, my first law would be Broccoli bust be eaten at leat one meal per day. But you, Mike, would have to eat it in three meals per day!! Muahahahaha
@7:52 you see a picture of a king and 2 GiMiSahngGoongs. They are higher-ranking court ladies (King's maids) who wait on King during his meal. The most import job of Gimisahnggoong is tasting every food on the table before King gets to eat any of it to make sure they're safe to be consumed by the king.
Hey Mike! The chap jae is not glass noodles. It's sweet potato noodles. Glass noodles will be very thin and white. These noodles are very fat. Delicious!!!
I don't think Mike doesn't like broccoli personally. He ever said that broccoli is not asian thing, so chinese food that has broccoli in it is not an authentic one. I guess the same thing goes to Korean authentic food too . As in Indonesia, there is no traditional dishes with broccoli (at least where I am from, South Sumatera )
That is one of my absolute favorite food in the world - pumpkin porridge soup 😍😍😍 for me, it’s not just the flavor but all the nostalgia that floods in when I taste it
Broccoli was cultivated in Italy and France so there's really no reason why it should be showing up in Asian dishes that're supposed to be traditionally and historically authentic. Makes you wonder what else they're serving isn't actually what a Korean highborn would've eaten. 👀
Laith During the joseon period, trade was opened up to the west and numerous things were sent back to Korea, it’s possible broccoli might’ve been something that made its way over. I can’t say for sure since I haven’t done any specific or in-depth research on the subject however.
@@時岡さなえ Oh, you mean like the average Japanese citizen has no idea of what Japanese history is like in the early 20th century? The millions of people killed by the Japanese military in the most inhumane and disgusting ways, and they don't teach that in school... that kind of fabrication, you mean?
The original recipe probably used Gai Lan or Chinese Broccoli- more stem, fewer florets than European broccoli. It was introduced to eastern cuisine by the Portuguese, at the same time as chili peppers. (Can you imagine pre-chili flake kimchee? It was a thing!)
Eat your broccoli! It's good for you! The funny factoid is that broccoli was actually introduced to Korea from the Mediterranean - couldn't have been traditional for emperors.
I like broccoli Japanese tempura style. the stems and tops are cut bite-size, marinated in combo of soy sauce, sweet rice wine vinegar (Aji Mirin yummmm) tossed with toasted sesame seeds, then tempura battered and quickly lightly fried. *to die for*
Actually, it's called dduk galbi because they make it like they would a rice cake, by pounding on it. It's basically ground beef that isn't ground so fine as what we know as ground beef.
Oooooh myy gosh! sooo funny! lol! that dessert looked like the texture of mochi! so cool and so yum! i'm glad i saved this for the last food video lol! loved it!

Joseon rulers were kings not emperors...
hence the brass utensils....
Love how Mike is totally immersed in his role as the Emperor! Love this video 😂😆
i just ate and after watching this i feel like im starving
*laughs* I was sitting here watching this, having just had dinner, .... and yeah... totally was like "Can I have some of this? I'll even eat the broccoli!"
Emily Small laughs? No u didn't laugh
Same‼️ I love the way he chews food and then explains exactly how it tastes🤤😋🤤
"I'm telling you heads are going to roll!" The hate for broccoli is real 😂

Tacio OB I love broccoli! You can def make it taste good
Tacio OB I love broccoli
Tacio OB Broccoli leaf and stems are much much much better than the closed flowers. The stems are particularly tasty slightly pickled.
like steamed broccoli w/ nacho cheese yum
Tacio OB im a chef and I hate broccoli too, ive cooked it every way conceivable and my hate for it hasn't changed!!.....the one time I enjoyed it was when it wasn't on my plate
It's funny out of how many foods you like, broccoli has to be the one you dislike.....
He hates durian too
Zack Horker it’s just western broccoli he hates. Chinese broccoli on the other hand...
I know, broccoli is sooo delicious!
Nice video, but please stop bullying the poor broccoli :(

"Anti Kim Kardashian dish, no drama what-so-ever"
-Mike Chen, 2017
was eating a whole bowl of broccoli while watching this *hides away broccoli*
That looks so much fun. I'd love to dress up as a Korean emperor and try all those dishes. Maybe someday.
thanks for yet another great video, Mike!
heads are gonna roll,I tell you😂🤣😂🤣😂 love it!
"you gotta eat the best food in the world but you might die"
Here for a GOOD time, not a LONG time.
Madponiez being poisoned isn't a good time tho
@@katiebayliss9887 if its a great meal and the poison actually kills you quickly then its worth it
Katie Bayliss Net gain, ppl. 20 mins of suffering vs a life time of free good food is a good time.

Eat your broccoli like a big boy
Do it like a man
The entertainment value you offer in this video is off the charts!!
This is the best video so far.....so entertaining😂😂❤️
I tried this in Korea. It was expensive but well worth it ! Taste and quality was fine dining level ! Highly recommend
He looked so adorable in his little robe. 😍😍
Ikr

Tasted many Korean foods whenever I go back there, but never ate like the Kings before...jealous~~ Btw, I admire your courage to dress in Hanbok and walk on the streets and the restaurant lol
When the Korean Emperor is a professional food reviewer with a TH-cam channel
I love watching people in the background as you make these videos
I laughed so hard.... "When something is TOO rich, I KNOW IT. IM THE EMPEROR!"
Of all food vlogger out there, you're the one who has most humor.
Why is there even a dislike button for this video?💝💕😭
So true
There is a dislike because he doesn’t’t like broccoli. That is a sin.
NiftyDoughnut14 The broccoli detective was not happy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Broccoli lovers doesn't like this
It was plenty of fun just watching this! It must have been off the scale to eat it! And I loved your couture!
Hey Mikey! Don't be hatin on the little green trees! Lol! I love your channel. I wish I could travel like you!
This video reminds me of a Korean historical drama I used to watch called Jang Geum about Korea's first female physician, who started out as a cook for the emperor
Last time I was this early I wasn't hungry AF
One of your highest production value videos, great job on the editing!
Wow Mikey's videos becoming more and more dank.
Love watching your food & travel videos! You are one of the few travel vloggers that I follow coz of your love of food & positivity. Keep up the excellent work!
5:35 "IM TELLING U HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL" 😂😂😂 All I thought of was Alice in the wonderland when the queen says "Off with their heads!" haha
Now that's dressing up for dinner! What well-crafted, well-prepared food you got. I'll never dine that well, but it's nice to see you do that!
"Do you guys see how easy this thing is breaking apart?" Did Mikey just talk about me?
One of my fave videos of yours. I love how you ran with the emperor theme :D
I wish I could just eat eat eat eat and eat but I can't even eat a whole burger and never get the fires cause I can't eat both its to much

If I were Emperor, my first law would be Broccoli bust be eaten at leat one meal per day.
But you, Mike, would have to eat it in three meals per day!! Muahahahaha
Steamed broccoli with a touch of melted butter, garlic powder and fresh ground rainbow peppercorns.
The only way I eat broccoli is if it’s in cheddar soup
I ♥️ broccoli
Evil, a true tyrant
The graceful savage, you totally live by your name lol

I’m adopted from Korea, but I knew there was something special about 9.
Mike, your mom said to eat your broccolis
Why do I always watch your channel on an empty stomach! 😫
FFS, "Anti Kim Kardashian dish" nah nah hahaha. dat made me weak
Emperor Mikey, that was certainly filled with royal yumminess aplenty AND you survived any possible poisonings - well done Sire!
Eat your veggies emperor mike! 😉
Such a delight to watch you eat!!! Glad you enjoyed yourself :)
Your dislike of broccoli makes me question your food criticism credentials
I love your sense of humor!
Mike to broccoli: This nasty thing, what are you doing here?
LOOOOL.
You are hysterical!!! No broccoli!!!!!!! Thanks for the video!
Anti Kim Kardashian dish. I love u more now 😍😘😋
I really enjoyed the visual presentation here! Amazing video with yummy food.
when jackie chan starts bulking
packingraw and got lil shorter!
Vileto Fabios please stop being sexist , also they might be knew just explain not just spread hate .
We need more korean emperor chen!
Copper changes the flavour of the food?
Xrod Gaming Yea copper has a different color when when burned
Not to mention that copper can get contaminated with verdigris, which itself causes ptomaine poisoning, so...
Xrod Gaming But copper poison would sweeten the food and wine, which is why the ROMANS would use it so much
Who's idea was it to say let eat this hard thing from a cave
Its brass
did you have to book in advance?

LOL I thought to myself that there is no way Mikey would actually dress like that and he did. XD
Hey,Mike This is your best video ever.
If you don't want that broccoli, give it to me!
You really need to be on the travel channel.
Omg Mike the Instagram joke... so funny haha
I love the fact you dressed up for dinner...made my day! LOL!
LIKE
IF YOU
LOVE
FOOD 👌
This video is super good! One of my new favorites by you!
Eat your broccoli! It's good for you!
The funny factoid is that broccoli was actually introduced to Korea from the Mediterranean - couldn't have been traditional for emperors.
Nor chili peppers.
omg i think i already watched your entire videos here on your channel ypu are so. addictive Mike Chen wooo!!!!!! ❤ Love from Philippines
The Humour of your videos is just..........love it :D
Lol that was very entertaining ! I wanna try that one day. Dress in that hanbok and go to dinner. :)
So peasants eat broccoli? I thought that vegetable is expensive lol
Sarah Skyler Bucu it's not expensive here in America
lucky you, it is in the philippines. but broccoli is gooooood
I like broccoli Japanese tempura style. the stems and tops are cut bite-size, marinated in combo of soy sauce, sweet rice wine vinegar (Aji Mirin yummmm) tossed with toasted sesame seeds, then tempura battered and quickly lightly fried. *to die for*
The broccoli would give some color more than anything else
Broccoli is actually very huge and grows fast. So I don't think it would be expensive at all. It's easy to grow too.
love your content man! keep it up!
So wrong about Dduk galbi! There's no rice cake inside that meat! It's called Dduk galbi 'cause it looks like a square rice cake, Mike!
Actually, it's called dduk galbi because they make it like they would a rice cake, by pounding on it. It's basically ground beef that isn't ground so fine as what we know as ground beef.
