Bingo

uhā€¦ Double bingo!:rofl: I couldnā€™t get full bingo becauseā€¦

I am not sure what,
ā€œUses Viki/Kiss Asian to watchā€ means.
Does SAT posts mean the Saturday neilsen ratings?
Have not started a skincare routine. lol
I donā€™t CRAVE Kimchi but I do have some instant Kimchee ramen. :grin:
What does Downloaded the ā€œOSTā€ mean?
and NO, I do not have high expectations about love after watching K-dramas! I Mean, guys treating me like crap and then giving me Dead fish kisses are SOOOOooooo NOT appealing! I would not like my hubby to kiss me like that. :laughing: (Though I did tease my hubby one time by singing, ā€œRoll, roll, roll in the hayā€ (Young Frankenstein reference) He cracked up. :grin: (It almost killed the mood. )
and no. I have not followed the actors on instagram. I donā€™t have instagram. Instead I follow them on YouTube. :rofl:

So I canā€™t win a full page at bingo here. :rofl:

  • I donā€™t have high expectations about love from Kdramas - they are often more dysfunctional than what I would want from an actual relationship.

  • I didnā€™t start a 10-step, but a 5 / 6 step skincare routine, unrelated to Kdramas haha

  • I do drink soju because Iā€™ve seen it in Korean dramas, and I still drink it from time to time, but I donā€™t know if it counts (I drink it maybe once or twice a year? Especially when there is a new flavor I havenā€™t tried yet, but honestly, I prefer makgeolli).

  • I have subscribed to a few YT channels instead :laughing:

  • Iā€™m also not sure what the last one means.

I first tried it out of interest in Korea in general, not particularly because of its dramas. And I canā€™t say I drink it regularly, cause itā€™s not even available in my town. In the closest bigger city there is an Asian supermarket who used to have it, until they didnā€™t anymore and from then on the Asian restaurant in the same city (not the only Asian restaurant, but most others donā€™t have Korean food) was the only place to occasionally drink soju ā€¦ for 12,50 euros per bottle! And right now even that is not an option.
I like makgeolli too. At least the Asian supermarket still had that (last time I was there anyway).

Oh that sucks. Iā€™m lucky that I have a Korean grocery in the city or that I can order it online. 12,50 is too expensive, especially considering it only costs 4.50 / 5.50 euros the last time I checked (makgeolli has become scarce though):cry: I have the same thing with sake ~ Iā€™ve learned how to taste the different rankings of sake at a tasting workshop from an Japanese brewery and I know what it costs to buy it here. But when I see the prices at certain restaurants, and itā€™s not even the good sake, I refuse to buy it :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Iā€™d rather buy it from the retailer itself, but then the higher quality ones :rofl:

@ mirjam_465 Thereā€™s no Bingo there! If you pick a kdrama lockscreen then youā€™d have it! :rofl:

makgeolli is a rice wine like sake? hmmmm I donā€™t drink at all. canā€™t stand the taste of most hooch, but I DO like sake. (cactus juice [tequila] and sake likes me a bit too much and will put me under the table fast so I have to tip toe around the stuff and say NO Thank youā€¦ ) :rofl:

Oops!!! :rofl:

Sort of yes. Makgeolli usually has a low alcohol percentage (the one is used to buy had 6%). Itā€™s also claimed to be healthy, zie Wiki:

But of course the exported version gets pasteurized, which kills the microorganisms.

Like @mirjam_465 said, it is a rice wine, but the taste is different than sake. Itā€™s also not clear like sake, but has a creamy consistency. The taste is definitely different than sake, and has this slight sourness to it. Itā€™s the perfect combo with ā€˜jeonā€™ - Korean rƶstiā€™s or pancakes.

So Iā€™m not sure if youā€™ll like it :sweat_smile:

Haha, first time I had it I didnā€™t shake it so it was clear until I got to the white sludge at the bottom.

Personally I would argue that sake is more like beer (though tastier) and makgeolli more like wine.

I used to eat kimchi jeon as ā€œbanchanā€ at that restaurant I talked about earlier, but they donā€™t serve makgeolli, so I drank either soju or sake with it.

I suspect sheā€™ll like it. :wink:

Donā€™t you mean the opposite? :laughing: makgeolli is fizzy, although less than beer.

At the workshop I heard the phrase that sake was like wine and should actually be evaluated as if you were evaluating wine, because of the different layers of flavor.

I forget what itā€™s called, but if you only drink the clear part of the makgeolli (because the sludge has been filtered out) it has a different name. They sell it like that as well, although, not here.

Iā€™m now trying to remember whether my makgeolli was fizzy ā€¦ God, itā€™s way too long ago, hahaha! But I do think it tasted like wine. More or less.

Must have been such a cool workshop!

I think I would prefer it with the sludge. :slight_smile:

Apparently they even make it at home:

:rofl: :joy: :rofl: Thatā€™s one LIVELY hooch! Made a MESS outta his kitchen! :hugs: :rofl:

Thatā€™s a really interesting process. Makes me wonder how the first moonshiners figured out how to make it.

Excellent tutorial! ź°ģ‚¬ķ•©ė‹ˆė‹¤!

Yeah, I tried to make the nuruk (the ā€œstarterā€) at home, since I canā€™t buy it anywhere here. But till now I have failed :cry: Ah, humid house.

I was saving up for some fermentation equipment, so I could have a more controlled environment to do my fermentation experiments in, but had to use that money when multiple appliances broke :sweat_smile:.

Time to save up and try again.

Where are you? If your place is too humid, could you try in a less humid season?
OH! OH! OH! Put the hootch in a small room with a dehumidifier!

I havenā€™t even gotten to the part of making the makgeolli :rofl:

The nuruk is the dried starter that you pour into your rice mix and let pre-ferment before you start making the actual makgeolli. Itā€™s a culture of different bacteria that gets attracted to a ā€œballā€ of either broken wheat or rice made with very little moisture. You can make this starter from scratch, but depending on your climate / location / etc., you might not attract the right type of bacteria, which is happening in my house.

Iā€™ve already tried different methods and different times of the year and I know from experience that itā€™s difficult to make ferments in my house if I donā€™t use a starter, which is why I prefer to buy them if they are available :wink: Itā€™s okay though. If I ever find the starter or get the right equipment, I can start those projects again. No hurry and plenty of other things to try making from scratch :smile:
