The Ethnic Koreans Who Made Russian Carrot Salad

Another reason not to trust the commies.

I was born in Uzbekistan and lived there when I was a child and Korean food always has been around in my childhood.
Not only this salad, but also пигоди – variation of steamed bun with meat filling

It's called "carrots Korean style" if we're translating "rus. По" into its meaning by context, then it'll be "style". Btw. you butchered the word carrot. A in Russian sounds like when a doctor or dentist say "open your mouth and say 'a'", "markovka". I'm bilingual Lithuanian with Russian as one of the languages. Answer to this comment and I'll teach you how to pronounce any Russian dishes and food items you want.

This is so accurate! How do you know so much!! Honestly, I really love your channel thanks for all your hard work

Koryo Saram means Koryo people. Koryo, or Goryeo, is the Korean kingdom that existed from the 10th to 14th century.

Saving this

As someone learning Korean, I really appreciate learning this part of their history.
Thank you!

Oh it’s good 👍 I make something similar 🥕 🥕 ❤️

I'm french and I had no idea this wasn't like... Common all round the world? Like a cabbage salade or a salade salade?

I am from Kazakhstan and I’m Russian, I can confirm that this carrot salad is amazing. It’s probably my favorite food. I had no idea the origins! And I’ve seen it all around me growing up.

i love pickled carots

Omg I love your PB earrings

Its very cool, but in Russian people call it not "morkovcha", but "morkovka". There is also a word "morkov" which is more biologicallt correct, and its in the salad name.

I love this salad! So glad you featured it.

i msan i know its the character from adventure time but as someone who is korean. its great you're teaching korean history. but really, all i could see were your earings. your earings could look very offensive to ppl who dont watch adventure time as it looks to me like it represents the "rising sun flag". you should look onto the history on that flag and WHY Koreans are very hurt by the sight of the red, white, and sun rising symbol things but to put it short, rising sun flag = Nazi flag. too bad you wore those when ure talking about koreans. and too bad i dont see any comments on it which means no one knows either.. the happy face on it honestly looks more like its mocking me :(
and now i sound like a crazy hater haha

Such a sad history

It's funny how most Koreans don't know about this! Russians who visit Korea sometimes looks for the carrot salad and are surprised to find we don't have them here 😂

Great history there too! I'd like to add that back in those days, kimchi made from cabbage were VERY rare. Cabbage became available in Korea only at the beginning of 1900s, and even then, initially it was so expensive that only the royal family or nobles could afford to eat kimchi made from cabbage.

The common folks of Joseon mostly made kimchi from radish, which is indeed quite similar to carrots.

this is super interesting! for those wondering, goryeo (고려) dynasty lasted from 900s-1300s and is where we get the name “korea”. 사람 saram means “person”. so “koryo-saram” literally means “korean person”. i’m totally unfamiliar with this specific minority, but i am part korean so i thought i’d share:)

Interesting… I heard the term “Goryeo saram” (고려사람) for the first time in China for ethnic Koreans. Never thought I’d be hearing about it in the context of Stalin and Russian history

I’ve been eating this for a while in Mexico. We call it sancocho

Always been one of my favorite salads, never knew why it was named Korean. Now I know.

Another example of why communism is evil.

Love this salad! One of my favourite ways to eat it is to add it to the hot dog. Soooo yummy

As a Indian- Russian it honestly tastes horrid .. no hate but i honestly think the tanginess depends on the place where it’s made for moscow (where i live) it is more sweet than tangy …

I live in Russia, one time I saw that salad on a super market, I bought it, and I loved it!! Thanks for tell the whole story!! 🥕🥕 I'm craving a salad

Love this ❤️

Seeing you eat these with chopsticks is so weird

You have so found your niche. Way to take a negative (job loss) and turning it into a positive. Positive content that united the world through food.

This is also made in France

As a Russian I love this dish so much, I can eat a lot of it 👌 When I found out about the topic of Korean Russians it was so cool to find out this dish has Korean roots!

She got some crazy cat lady eyes lol

Hi Beryl, First of all , I want to say I love your videos and willingness to eat anything. But I'm truly curious in your adventurous spirit have you ever had a food hurt your tummy or just disagree with you in general? Or something you still dislike? Due to stomach problems I've had to adjust my diet a lot. So I really enjoy watching you live adventurously in the food world! 🥰

It’s korean salad not Russian

Jjkooppppppp00

Я угарнула со слова морковча
This in markovka not markovcha

I lived in Kazakhstan for two years and this was one of my most favorite foods!

Kurosawa-Saram also migrated to Tajikistan. They were evenly split between Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. Growing up I remember the taste of Korean markovca and Kim chi. We just loved it! It’s the best! I forgot what it’s called but they also have a dish where they marinade raw fish in vinegar and a ton of delicious spices. The acidity of vinegar basically cooks the fish. I could not get enough of it. I miss that. I cannot find it in US unfortunately. If anyone knows what I’m talking about and where to find it please let me know.

Great info

Putin would approve.

Beryl, you are truly a gift to this world. 🥹👍🏾

It’s not Russian. This is Korean carrot kimchi and it’s more popular in Central Asia than it is in Russia

Please send receipe...thank you

Moved to russia lmao one way to say stalin force displaced them cuz he feared they were japanese spies 😮

I’m sure it’s tangy 😅

IT IS NOT RUSSIAN CARROT SALAD. MAYBE SPEAK TO KOREAN PEOPLE LIVING IN THOSE PARTS BEFORE YOU START TELLING PEOPLE THEIR OWN CULTURE. this is the same as dopes telling vietnam vets what they went through in that war.

I’m one of them, I live in the US!

Koreans didn’t just move to the Soviet Union. In 1937 Stalin forcibly removed ethic Koreans in eastern Siberia, shipped on crowded box cars by train to Uzbekistan and left to die. The Soviets accused Koreans of being Japanese spies as an excuse to white wash Siberia. Those that survived learned to adapted their food like kimchi into morkovcha.

내가 이걸 처음 담가먹어보고 정말 맛이 좋아 매달마다 반찬으로 해먹습니다. 밥이랑도 잘 어울리고, 특히 고기 구워 쌈채소로 같이 먹을 때, 국수를 시원하게 물에 헹궈 양념에 비벼서 먹는 비빔냉면하고 아주 잘 어울립니다. 이런 좋은 음식을 만들어주신 선조분들께 감사한 마음이 듭니다.

I don’t know about Russia, but they definitely moved to Uzbekistan.
