- Hi everybody.
I'm in the desert.
This is called High Desert in California.
It's near Joshua Tree National Park.
This is middle of nowhere.
I rented my really nicehouse, and I can cook.
I'm traveling with my family members.
We are going to nextitinerary, Las Vegas today,
so I'll make some quick lunch.
This is a sandwich, Korean style sandwich.
It's called samsaek sandwich.
Samsaek means three colors.
Three color sandwich.
I used to make this sandwichfor my family all the time
when I lived in Korea,especially when my children went
to school, I used to make alunchbox, they really loved it.
It has a lot of good memories.
So today I'm with my family,
I'm going to make this andwe'll all together enjoy
and talk about old times.
(laughing)
Outside is so so hot, you know daytime,
but today I woke up earlymorning to make this video.
I'll make this videofor two servings only,
and then later, I'll make ahuge, more, for my whole family.
By the way in the lastscene of this video,
I will surprise you, okay, be ready.
So three colors, first start with green.
I will use cucumber.
Cucumber, let's chop it up.
Adding a lot of cucumber is really tasty.
I add a lot of cucumber.
Just a couple of times,like this, and then
put it in the bowl.
These, I brought my cups.
All the time follow me.
It's around one cup, and let's see.
Around two cups cucumber.
Salt, half a teaspoon.
And mix.
So sooner or later, theseguys are going to sweat,
and then we're going tosqueeze out all excess water.
Green color done.
Next, yellow.
What do you think I use for yellow color?
You are right, egg.
I'm using four eggs, theseare hard boiled eggs.
I need egg yolk only.
Egg yolk.
This egg white, save this and eat later.
This is ham, we use ham.
Any type of ham, justcooked ham you should use,
so red color.
I'll use four slices of ham.
I think around one cup.
This is 240 milliliter for one cup.
So now this egg yolk, Iwill add this mayonnaise,
mayonnaise around two tablespoons.
And I will add thismustard because mustard
is a yellow color, so make it more yellow,
and also gives a good flavor.
Around one tablespoon, and mix.
Nice, isn't it?
Ham, just I need around two orthree tablespoons mayonnaise.
Pretty.
Meanwhile, these guysare sweating, I told you,
so kind of watery.
I like to squeeze outthis because cucumber
has lots of water, almost90% is water, cucumber,
so we need to remove.
Time to squeeze.
You guys are wondering that I said
"Today I have a surprise at the end,"
probably you will be wondering, eh?
Oh wow, lots of water comes out.
And then put it back.
You guys are going to askme, "Where you get this?"
This is Korean grocerystore kitchenware section
you can find, these days alot of products are coming.
Cucumber also around twotablespoons mayonnaise.
And this is ground blackpepper, quarter teaspoon.
And mix together.
So these guys, three colors.
Next, we'll need bread.
This white bread, white milk bread.
Smells good.
So I can use like this.
I put these three pieces of bread,
and first let's start yellow.
Every bowl I'm going todivide into three portions.
We are going to cut it off this edge part
so you don't have to spread to this edge.
And next, another piece.
Green stuff also three.
And then, next piece, third floor.
Red color.
Fourth floor, that's finished.
So this is three colored,fourth floor sandwich we made,
we built up, and I will just add this,
my lunchbox to give youidea how to wrap lunchbox.
I have one egg.
This egg is surprise.
What?
One egg is surprise?
Wait, wait.
Cut the edge.
The edge part, let's put it here.
This is a bread knife.
Look at this, isn't it pretty?
And very juicy also, not dry.
Let's add this here, perfect size.
We need one more here.
So, okay.
Look at this, we havethree pieces of sandwich
for one serving, reallycolorful and pretty.
If you make this for your familymembers, they will love it,
actually taste is so good.
And also, all chopped up in small pieces,
easily you can chew also.
And this one, let's cut it also.
This is lunchbox, samsaek sandwich.
"What are you going to doMaangchi with all edges?"
I know you guys, I knowyou guys have a question.
Sandwich edge party, how does it sound?
(laughing)
Fun.
Or if you can't eat all, make one portion,
and keep in the plastic bag,and put it in the freezer,
and then later, takeit out and just eat it.
Or if you want to make it more tasty,
just bake 10 minutes, andthen crispy and nice, and all
including everything, it'sreally don't ever throw away.
Make a party.
(laughing)
I learned this recipe long, long time ago.
When I was in university,I was a freshman,
and then there was a school event,
MT, or "membership training."
So Korean university students,they go to some place,
two nights and three days.
Kind of an orientation.
I went to membership training, and then
there was a really niceplace that my school,
the university has a nicenice kind of a cottage.
And we hundreds of students,we all got together,
and my seniors, they made a meal for us.
So freshmen, we didn't have tocook anything, they made.
One of the items Iremember is the curry rice,
Korean style curry rice, how easy it is,
you know curry powder, and they just
chop up vegetables and they're making.
That was really beautifulatmosphere, and we just enjoyed.
And then next day I sawthat all my senior students,
those guys are making, allchopping up, everybody.
What is it?
And then they were makingthis samsaek sandwich.
Before that I had never seen this.
My senior student, those guysonly one year older than me,
or two years older thanme, but at that time,
at that period I thoughtthey are really really old,
oh I have to be really polite.
(laughing)
Now I think that, oh these guys just
only one or two years difference,
oh they are cute, I can say that.
But around that time, "Oh Ishould be really polite" and
whenever they gave us, "Thankyou so much, thank you so much."
(laughing)
And this is a samsaeksandwich that they made.
When I tasted this, really tasty,
and then I came back home,I made just right after,
I made this for my family, my siblings.
They loved it.
And then after I married, Imade this for my family too.
Such, such an easy recipe, butit has a really good memory,
and really, stories is melted inside.
So I'm going to taste, andtoday is special I told you,
I have a special guest.
This is for my special guest, egg yolk.
My special guest too will eat this.
Come here, come here.
Oh yeah, here you go.
This is my daughter's dog.
Here you go, eat it.
Let me taste.
He's finished.
No no no no, no, dogshouldn't eat salt, any salt.
That's enough.
Crispy, juicy, yummy.
Come here.
(cooing)
Hello hello hello.
(laughing)
Long time ago I used to beafraid of dog but these days
I miss this guy, thisis so lovely, lovely.
And he really loves me toobecause he knows I love him.
I made chicken jerky forhim, and he loves this.
So today we made samsaeksandwich, three color sandwich.

Say bye, bye, bye.
