Snacks that Look Like Intestines (Snack Tub Korea #4)

Today we eat Soybean Tofu Snack (소이빈 두부스낵) and Wellbin Tofu Snack (웰빈 두부과자). Both look like intestines, but do they taste like it? Only one way to find out: dive into Professor Oh's snack tub!

The Soybean Tofu Snack is mostly bland however becomes increasingly addicting with each succeeding bite. The minimal drops sprinkled black sesame seeds are all for show. If I were to develop this snack, I'd toss in an extra handful of toasted black sesame seeds for each bag. Then rename it as "Toasty Tofu Snack." Has a nice ring to it. Abbreviation: TTS. Why do those letters sound familiar? Oh yeah, TTS also stands for "TaeTiSeo," the cute sub-group of the wink-a-licious Girls' Generation.

Just like the previous bag of tofu crackers, the Wellbin Tofu Snack (WTS) contains a lot of air in it. WTS is thicker, slightly softer and also contains black sesame seeds. Both snacks taste like cardboard.

From a kid's perspective, both tofu snacks get 2 out of 5 kpop stars. From an adults set of taste buds, 4 out of 5 kpop stars.

Time for some improv cooking. This week we create Tofu Crouton Salad. Simple. Make a salad and toss in those crunchy pieces of cardboard!

Happy responsible snacking! Don't forget to eat your veggies before and after :)

Tastes Lazy: Sanja & Jjondigi (Snack Tub Korea #2)

Tastes Lazy: Sanja & Jjondigi (Snack Tub Korea #2)

Today we eat Sanja (산자) and Jjondigi (쫀디기). We get linear with the square Sanja and vertical Jjondigi. Which tastes more yummy? Let the snack battle on the taste buds begin! Dive into Professor Oh's tub. Splash~

Sanja smells cozy like drinking tea on a cold winter evening. More fragrant than yummy. 3 out of 5 kpop stars!

Jjondigi tastes like laziness on a Sunday afternoon. Grannies, this snack may pull your last tooth out. Yep, it's that tough to bite into. For an easier snacking experience, peel in vertical strips rather than biting off a chunk directly. Jjondigi makes Sanja feel like clouds. Nonetheless Jjondigi is 5 out of 5 kpop stars. I like how this snack builds mega muscles for my jaws.

Time for improv cooking. We make Jjondigi & Sanja Sandwiches.

Happy responsible snacking!

Let It Rain: Choco Pie & Ghana (Snack Tub Korea #1)

Let It Rain: Choco Pie & Ghana (Snack Tub Korea #1)

Today we eat Choco Pie ( 초코파이) and Ghana (가나). They both look round and chocolatey. Which tastes more epic? Or are they same? Dive into Professor Oh's snack tub to find out!

Choco Pie is to the point. It's short for "Chocolate Pie." Ask if someone ate Ghana, they're going to think you're referring to the country. Maybe Ghana has amazing chocolate.

Choco Pie and Ghana taste like fraternal twins. Pretty much the same yet do have their subtle differences. The interior of Choco Pie is a creamy color while the Ghana is dark brown. Both have a horizontal white filling. When it comes to texture Ghana is slightly softer. And is decorated with swirly lines on the outside. Both pies are made by the same company: Lotte.

Conclusion?
Choco Pie: 5 out of 5 kpop stars
Ghana: 5 out of 5 kpop stars

Time for some improv cooking. Let's make Choco Pie and Ghana Popsicles! Watch at 7:03 for the basic recipe.

Happy responsible snacking! Don't forget to eat your peas and carrots :)
