HONEY FINGERS: Jjangeya & Jjangu (Snack Tub Korea #3)

Today we eat Jjangeya (짱이야) and Jjangu (짱구). Both look like round pumpkins without a top nor bottom and were created in the 1970s. It's the battle of the Jjangs. If you watched KWOW #41, then you know that jjang (짱) means "best." Which snack knocks out the other? Only one way to find out: dive into Professor Oh's snack tub!

The fun and right (yet not necessarily most efficient) way to enjoy these crackers is by placing them on the tips of your fingers. Then one at a time, crunch on the pieces.

Jjangeya is glazed with sesame seeds and looks sweeter than it tastes. Fruits are more flavorful than Jjangeya! From a child's point of view, 4 out of 5 kpop stars, due to the playfulness. From an adult's perspective, 2 out of 5 kpop stars.

Jjangu is a more developed version of Jjangeya. It's sweeter, thus more tastier. Dear Jjangu, you get 5 out of 5 kpop stars.

This week we make... JJANG SCRAMBLED EGG!

I can't say it was the "best" scrambled egg I've ever had, but it was definitely one of the most unique.

Tastes Lazy: Sanja & Jjondigi (Snack Tub Korea #2)

Today we eat Sanja (산자) and Jjondigi (쫀디기). We get linear with the square Sanja and vertical Jjondigi. Which tastes more yummy? Let the snack battle on the taste buds begin! Dive into Professor Oh's tub. Splash~

Sanja smells cozy like drinking tea on a cold winter evening. More fragrant than yummy. 3 out of 5 kpop stars!

Jjondigi tastes like laziness on a Sunday afternoon. Grannies, this snack may pull your last tooth out. Yep, it's that tough to bite into. For an easier snacking experience, peel in vertical strips rather than biting off a chunk directly. Jjondigi makes Sanja feel like clouds. Nonetheless Jjondigi is 5 out of 5 kpop stars. I like how this snack builds mega muscles for my jaws.

Time for improv cooking. We make Jjondigi & Sanja Sandwiches.

Happy responsible snacking!

Let It Rain: Choco Pie & Ghana (Snack Tub Korea #1)

Today we eat Choco Pie ( 초코파이) and Ghana (가나). They both look round and chocolatey. Which tastes more epic? Or are they same? Dive into Professor Oh's snack tub to find out!

Choco Pie is to the point. It's short for "Chocolate Pie." Ask if someone ate Ghana, they're going to think you're referring to the country. Maybe Ghana has amazing chocolate.

Choco Pie and Ghana taste like fraternal twins. Pretty much the same yet do have their subtle differences. The interior of Choco Pie is a creamy color while the Ghana is dark brown. Both have a horizontal white filling. When it comes to texture Ghana is slightly softer. And is decorated with swirly lines on the outside. Both pies are made by the same company: Lotte.

Conclusion?
Choco Pie: 5 out of 5 kpop stars
Ghana: 5 out of 5 kpop stars

Time for some improv cooking. Let's make Choco Pie and Ghana Popsicles! Watch at 7:03 for the basic recipe.

Happy responsible snacking! Don't forget to eat your peas and carrots :)
