By now, you've probably already watched 'Korean Parents try Soul Food' video by Crazy Korean Cooking (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?) If you're like me, you've drooled over the scrumptious looking plates of well-seasoned catfish, collard greens, fried okra, bacon-fat soaked cornbread, and of course, the sugary yams, more than once.
As a fellow Korean and soul food lover, I've been absolutely dying to eat all of those dishes with chopsticks and a side of seaweed and kimchi for added fusion flavor. The original creator did post a video showing the making of this viral meal, but I've gathered some recipes here so that you can make your own version of this mouth-watering feast. Go forth and cook!
Buttermilk-marinated catfish fillets are dredged in a seasoned cornmeal and fried in a cast iron skillet until golden brown and delicious. Add a few dashes of Louisiana hot sauce to the buttermilk for more flavor and serve alongside a tangy homemade tartar sauce.
Quickly whip up this tasty tartar sauce with just a few ingredients, like dill relish and cajun seasoning. Make it your own by adding some chopped capers or whisking up a homemade mayo. Perfect for dipping!
Who could forget the pure joy our Korean Dad showed after eating every bit of ham hock from the collard greens? To make it closer to the video version, add seasoned salt and sub stock for the water listed in the recipe.
Can I get to the yams? All I can think about is pouring the yam juice over a thick slab of cornbread...pause to wipe the drool and then read on!
One cast iron skillet, smoky bacon drippings, and a big pat of butter on top.
Season these babies well and toss them into a cornmeal batter before frying for a savory bite that will convert even the most virulent of okra-haters.
The below recipe wasn't included in the original, but this extra side dish could only add to the feast.
Stovetop and boxed mac and cheese have nothing on an ultra-creamy, crispy cheese topped, oven baked indulgence like this version from Salty Side Dish.
