Korean Youtuber Chef Chris Cho shared a video in which he topped his roasted Korean sweet potato with kimchi. In the video, he peels the skin on the potato and adds kimchi before taking a bite. Much to Cho's surprise, he finds out that not all Koreans eat their sweet potatoes this way. Even though he mentions growing up enjoying this as a snack, his significant other can even be heard saying that his combination is "weird." Many viewers shared Cho's enthusiasm for the snack with one user writing, "BEST SNACK EVER!"
In the video, Cho is eating a Korean sweet potato, also called goguma, which differs from the orange sweet potato commonly found in U.S. supermarkets. Goguma is sweeter than orange sweet potatoes and has a chestnut flavor, according to Just One Cookbook. Goguma is often used in desserts or dehydrated and eaten as a dried snack called goguma mallaengi.
If you can't find goguma at your local market, you can still enjoy sweet potatoes and kimchi. Bon Appétit appears to share Cho's affinity for the sweet potato kimchi hybrid in the form of kimchi butter. Bon Appétit's recipe involves combining the spicy kimchi with rich butter to create a compound butter that melts umami glory atop the hot sweet potato. In this version, orange sweet potatoes or Japanese sweet potatoes can be used, with either being a delicious option.
