So far on my list:
--Kimchi
I need some good ideas! All the packages are gonna be in various asian languages. The place is huge. I'll spend about $50. I don't like fishy stuff very much. I like hot sauces.
-
pick me up some dog while you're there. make sure you get good golden lab meat, not that stringy terrier shit
-
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRaaaaaacist!
-
If there is a butcher I highly suggest getting Korean beef cuts, specifically the cuts used for Korean bbq. I forget the proper name it's been ages but you will identify it as beef cut into strips like bacon, just slightly thicker. Amazing for koreanbbq, broths or just to fry like bacon lol
-
a new jawline for your ugly daughter.
-
ah yeah, some kalbi/other korean beef. maybe they'll have that stuff marinated? I only have an electric stove top, so I can only fry it in a pan, unfortunately.
Gochujang.
Get some cut kalbi as well, and some bulgogi or kalbi seasoning/sauce.

oh hell yeah
-
Seconding gochujang and beef bulgogi cuts, that's what I usually pick up at my local k-grocer. Also raid the snack section and the tea section!
-
Good suggestions so far. Here's what I'd get if I had a Korean store close by.

radish kimchi is good.
This place has a fucking kimchi bar :-[
-
A nice korean gf.
-
A lot of kimchi is made with fish pastes. Just a heads up, as sometimes it can be a bit overpowering.
Cucumber kimchi rocks too.
If they sell fresh soups, look out for some daenjang chigae. Kimchi chigae is also worth it, but I typically peed out my butt the next day.
-
pre-marinated beef for sure
maybe a bag or two of frozen gyoza (dumplings) to keep around
chili oil is good and improves almost any dish, though that's more Chinese than Korean
-
Gyoza is the Japanese word, I think. In Korean it's called mandu. Just pointing this out because if he asks for gyoza, he'll probably get a wtf look. :)
I think its chinese iirc
Basicly chinese dumplings = gyoaza
-
A store near me that's not Korean has frozen bulgogi. I'd suggest trying to find that.
-
No. Gyoza is japanese. The korean version is mandau, the chinese version is jiaozi. There are a bunch of different variations but the idea is the same.
I mean it originates in china.
-

Anyhoo it fits the dumpling archwtype thats found world over (like pierogi)
-
Wait thats what you said nevermind!
-
i've got a couple bags of trader joe's gyoza. gettin' kinda sick of them, actually.
taking notes of all the recs though. this is exciting, gonna have a bunch of new food.
-
A place in Tsurubashi, which is Osaka's K-Town, I guess, had nagaimo kimchi. Fabulous.
