Martial arts got me curious about Asian cutlures and food. </p> <p>Now I'm grown and love all sorts types of Asian food and have raised my kids to love it too. I recently started looking into Korean culture/food a came accross your vids. Your vids gave me insight of Korean cooking and a desire to try to make it myself. </p> <p>IMO Mexican and Korean share several similarities. I found several recipes can be converted Korean/Mexican and vise versa, by swapping a few ingredients. </p> <p>Funny thing is that I tried some of your recipes, having never tried Korean food. I felt that I did well, but needed try the real deal, in order to see if it tasted the same. So I found a local Korean resaurant (BTW there are not very many in the Phoenix area) and was very pleased with both the restaurant and how mine (with your recipes) compared.</p> <p>Now my kids help me make mandu. Plus they love the Korean restaurant too. We to try diferent things each time. Then decide if it is something I shoulld try at home.</p> <p>Thank you again, for all you do. Keep up the great/hard work. </p> <p>If you ever get to the Phoenix Arizona area, it would be an honor to share meal with you. Maybe I can show you some traditional mexican dishes. Haha. </p>
