Howdy, guys! Now that it's winter, I often think about my time in Korea

and how lovely it was after work when I'd walk on the streets of Seoul in the dark

with little snowflakes sprinkling down on the streets and I'd smell the delicious aroma of walnut snacks

coming from a little stall on the side of the road… Unfortunately, in Minnesota, where we live, no such delicacy exists.

The closest walnut snack place we have, I think, is in Chicago, 7.5 hours away

so that is not feasible for us, so Jin had the brilliant idea to make walnut snacks ourselves.

Actually, last year we bought a bungeoppang pan off of Amazon, and that was a great success!

We gave that pan to my family in Washington state because they have little kids and we thought it would be a fun activity for them to do together

so we are without a pan to make Korean winter snacks, but that's okay because walnut snacks are what I want

and walnut snacks are what I'm gonna get! And what did you find on Amazon? I searched for a walnut snack pan on Amazon and

they do sell them! You can buy them from the Ho-DuGuaja Pan brand. This guy has a monopoly, let me tell you!

He's the only one selling the walnut snack pans on Amazon, and he has marked those bad boys up substantially

because you can get those in Korea for a fraction of the price! Yeah. Less than half!

But I still ordered it! Since Raye likes it… I buy Raye everything she likes!

I'm so excited! We're opening it here live on camera! I think the walnut snack pan man cares about his product

Because look at this! It's individually bubble-wrapped! The thing I like about making Korean food at home ourselves

is that we can control all of the ingredients that go inside. Not that I don't trust the walnut snack stands in Korea

but I just like keeping things as simple as possible. Can you see? Hopefully you can see because I can't tell from here...

We can make 10 at a time! Perfect! 10 for me... none for Jin!

Love it! Oh my gosh! I almost broke your face! I'm sorry! They also give you a recipe on the back!

But most people don't have red beans at home, right? So, after buying red beans from our local Asian market...

we'll make Raye's favorite walnut snacks! Let's go! This is seriously a murder weapon... I could just...

Cut the camera! Let's head in! I'll make you something delicious! This is an Asian mart that

sells a lot of Korean food, so we come here sometimes! It says enoki mushrooms in Korean!

This one, too. Wait. What's the difference? Why are they different? Oh. The amount...

Raye really likes enoki mushrooms in her Korean soybean paste stew. They even have your mom's favorite!

Even though it's an Asian mart, it feels like it's a Korean mart. They sell a lot of Korean products!

The Minnesota tofu was okay! We've had this Minnesota brand tofu before and it was good... They have all of the Milkis flavors!

But this one's the best! $6.99 for a 6-pack. It's expensive.

This market seems mostly East Asian, so it's about 50% Korean products and 50% Chinese and Japanese.

They also sell japchae, which is one of Raye's favorites! Kimbap... There's no shortage anymore!

They even have squid! Didn't we post a video about how Trader Joe's kimbap was selling well in the US?

These are all Korean... from Korea! I heard that the same factory exports bulgogi, spicy bulgogi, tuna mayo, and vegetable kimbap these days!

I wish they would put it in Korean... they don't. It's a little ambiguous.

We came here to buy red beans... I don't remember... to make walnut snacks at home, but we got distracted by the snack section!

We might have to go to the other section. / The other side? They even write "Korean Chips" on the sign!

There's one flaw about this store... They don't sell Raye's favorite tea. She checks every time we come, with no luck...

Why do they have everything except for oriental raisin tea? I have a feeling there's a problem with importing it

because it's almost impossible to find it. For Raye's sake, I hope they export more of her favorite tea to the US!

Since it's an herb, I have a feeling that you can't import it for some reason

so maybe only some people can bring it in. Seaweed! Raye loves seaweed!

They sell seaweed from here to here! Gwangcheon seaweed! Raye likes Gwangcheon seaweed!

Yet they don't have *gopchang* seaweed. Gopchang? They might have gopchang.

She's looking for her favorite kind of seaweed, but they don't sell it... I like this one. This one is okay!

Yeah. That one is okay! And the price is way cheaper here! This is the vibe of a typical Asian market in the US.

I think we saw beans over that way last time we were here… What I don’t understand is I swore it was "ho-du" snack,

but then when we went to Chicago, they said "ho-do" snack… But when I look online, both seem to exist…

"ho-du" and "ho-do"… Which one is it? And why is it like that? 

Because I’m now permanently stressed and confused every single time I go to say this because I don’t know which one is right. 

I’m having an existential crisis. Please help me. I don’t know. Some places say "ho-du"…

Some places say "ho-do"… I thought it was "ho-du" since "ho-du" means walnut in Korean 

but when Raye asked me about this, I started to question myself. If you’re going to make kimchi this year, you probably need to come here…

They even have kimchi-making supplies! You can get these giant strainers! It’s as big as my body!

We can buy this to make kimchi! It’s not that expensive. About $17… They have Korean scissors here!

They even have Korean scissors! You know, when we came to the US, we went to the store and bought Korean scissors

in Korea to bring with us to the US because we thought it would be hard to get them 

but you can get them for $2.89 here! They have so many options! So… if you’re coming back from Korea, you really don’t need much…

If you come here, you could open a Korean restaurant. They sell all of the tools. You could buy these and make Korean soups…

This is what we need. / I think we should get this. This is what we need.

Perfect! We can get the Korean one! And the reason we come here quite often is… American pork belly is cut a bit differently than Korean pork belly…

It's too thin. US pork belly only has two layers... But here, they sell Korean-style pork belly with three layers, so we buy it occasionally.

But today, the quality of the pork belly isn't the best, so we'll pass. Wow! They have so much ramen!

You can buy every flavor! I didn't even know that this many flavors existed! I didn't even know there was this type... "Gold"...

It's a new one! "Green"... Naengmyeon... I am... hungry.

So we're going to get all of our ingredients ready here. I have almost everything prepared. The last one is just milk...

Perfect! 240g of milk right there! And, as always, our little cat came!

Cat! You want walnut snacks? From your homeland? Walnut snackssss! Our cat!

Look at her little toes! Hanmi only loves her mom. She's so cute! She's not unhappy, guys. She just sounds cranky.

That's just who she is. As always, Jin and I are not professionals, so we always look up a recipe online.

We found some lady's recipe on YouTube which we're going to be following, so if it sucks, blame that lady, don't blame us, okay?

Just kidding. It's going to be good. How hard can it be to make a simple batter?

If I remember right, she just mixed all of her dry ingredients together, right? Yeah.

First... including the sugar, right? Yeah. And the salt, too, right? Yeah.

Let's just do a quick little mix... I'm the Korean chef and Raye is the Western chef!

Since making walnut snacks is like baking, Raye will take charge! She's really good at this!

It seems like it's the right consistency! Thank you, assistant! Yesterday, what did you make, Jinwoo?

I made red bean paste from scratch! "From scratch" translated to Korean means making it yourself from the beginning.

You just boil the beans for a really long time, mash them, and add a little bit of sugar, right?

We basically need to make little balls of this... 1, 2, 3... 16.

This looks disgusting on these gloves... It looks like we just did a colonoscopy or something...

After I say that, you just lick it off? I can't believe her brain works like that...

I want to see what's going on in her brain... We're going to do 2 test ones first

because I have very little faith that this is going to be successful. I have to put walnuts in the pan...

It looks okay! We'll see! They're too big! Now, they said you have to close it...

When do I open it again? I'm scared! I should get a plate to put these on.

The test ones got a little well-done. Well, the batter is delicious! Oh look! You can see the walnut here...

Walnut-shaped walnut... And you can see our overflowing red bean paste here... Is it the same as what you expected?

Yeah! You're going to like this! I'll try! It's not very sweet. I think we could add more sugar, but then it's more unhealthy...

So this way is good! Raye really loves to eat these in the morning with coffee! I can't wait!

I think we can make these in batches... a big batch... and then just air fry them or put them in the toaster oven (to reheat).

First, try the edge! It tastes like bungeoppang! So good, right? You like it?

It's really good! I like that the exterior got crispy! It's so hot! Wow. They look great!

Look at how perfect these are! My walnut snacks are so perfect! Actually, I'm really good at this. I'm not going to lie!

Look at those! You should sell these! Maybe if there's a Korean event, we should just volunteer to make these.

I'm too slow, though. Look at this... You need to buy 10 walnut snack pans.

I don't think I can handle that. I want to be the exclusive "I only make 20 a day" kind of place...

You guys would have to line up in advance for your shot at getting just a single walnut snack... In the meantime...

Since Raye likes walnut snacks so much... I guess we'll have to go to Korea sometime soon.

Let's check! I don't want them to be burnt, so I'm scared. Not even close! But look at how perfect that is!

Raye's impressed by her own work. Wow! So good! I'm going to get so fat!
