Have you ever been grateful for failing at something? Honestly, I can’t say I have. I’m one of those persons who likes to succeed at everything I do, even if it’s something I don’t like. But here’s the real question:
Does this bring me confidence?
Once again, in all honesty, the answer is no.
As I said a couple weeks ago, one of the things I’ve learned from my coach, Dan Walters (EP 42) is that I have to set aside my ego before confidence has a real chance to grow. And that’s really what my obsession with “success” is—an attempt to inflate my ego, at the cost of real confidence and joy.
One of the things I loved about what Eric says here is that he wasn’t afraid to fail, or that even if he was at the time, he has the confidence to look back and say that failure was a good thing, even a welcome thing. Because what he’d continued to succeed at something he didn’t like? At something he wasn’t meant for? Well, I can tell ya this: we wouldn’t have this plate of delicious Gochujang Butter Noodles. 🙂
You can find the full recipe on the NYT’s cooking page, but you cook some spaghetti (or ramen noodles) and make the sauce by mixing butter, a TON of garlic, gochujang, brown rice syrup (my sub for honey), and sherry/rice vinegar with a healthy splash of pasta water. Garnish with scallions/cilantro (I subbed in parsley).

I'm a native Korean, but I've never seen anything like that. I feel like sympathy and interests are being formed toward Italians….I'm not going to break the pasta again
A video that can make Koreans and Italians angry at the same time
맞아?

Hey, I know you will never see this comment but I just wanted to tell you thank you. Thank you for cooking and thank you for talking about your personal life. We will never ever meet in person but just know that you helped a very scared kid that's on the other side of the world. I just decided to take a gap year from studying for my mental health and I really needed to hear this. Thank you❤
I dropped out from college a mere months before getting a degree in graphic design. I was the mentally ill extrovert with the shitty household relationships that needed the essential “get up to the place every day to be productive” pattern that my college provided for me. But then Covid happened. And I was locked up in my room, in the flat that I was barely staying at nights, and did ao ever since I was a teenager, with people I loved, sure, but with the same people who were never on my side. I was absolutely devastated, my BPD was rampaging all over my life and body, I was severely depressed and for months I felt like I was the failure everyone around me told me I was.
My college life crumbled since that. I wasn’t able to catch up properly, even tho I worked my ass off. I can admit that I have failed. I was expelled without a chance to reenter the educational program. It was almost a year ago.
I’m still struggling with the fact that I have blasted this opportunity. But
My mind is at peace now more then it ever was, ever since I was a little kid. I’m in therapy. I can enjoy the things I love. I’m pursuing art again. And even though I have failed, I am the happiest I’ve been all my life.
It’s okay to fail. It’s the way we learn.
What is the name of the paste ? Where do I buy it ?
What was the name of the sauce
Your videos are top tier.
Aww
We are fooled …. She is not Vegan😢
THIS AUDIO IS SO SOOTHING
I can’t believe I never thought to make a sauce for pasta out of gochugang. I’ve cut butter into plenty recipes with it but something so simple yet so delicious just went unthought of until I saw this. I cannot thank you enough, I have so many new ideas because of this one simple idea 🤷🏼♀️😍
My god, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this right now. AND watch you making pasta. You rock, Joanne.
I needed to hear this so so badly right now. Thank you ❤
If u hear this in headphones u can only hear her in ur left ear but u can hear the guy in both
You have such a way of finding the negative in everything. Your videos aren't as inspiring as you think they are.
Yuuuummm
That looks amazing ❤
Oh my God yes. Me getting laid off actually broke this cycle for me.
Is this recipe posted somewhere… I know it looks straightforward…
I’m been playing softball for 11 years now but lately I’ve hated being out on the field, hated having to spend so much time on it, and even started hating the way I played. I’ve been thinking about quitting but because I’ve played for so long and I’ve gotten to a high level, I’m scared to waste all of it by quitting. So thank you for this video because it made me realize that all the good memories I’ve made in playing softball will always be with me so I shouldn’t taint them with the new memories of me hating it. I should let go and focus on the things in my life that are bringing me to my happy place. This is a deeper thought than I would ever think would come from a YouTube short but thank you so much for making this video. ❤
Left ear enjoyed this
thanks
❤❤❤
❤️
my right ear loved this.
Your earphones not broken. Dw.
Pls share recipe
Thank you for saying this, I really needed to hear this right now
What brand of guchujang do you use
Kyle kwong
That looks AMAZING!!!
I spent 3 years at 18, 19 and 20 years old in such a deep depression and loneliness as I tried to get through a university degree that I didn’t want but felt I had to pursue because no other future had ever been presented to me at that time. The idea that I would fail out of university brought me to such sickness and in my fourth year I left it all behind quite suddenly to move to the west coast and try something new.
Up until now, at 30 years old, I saw that entire experience as so shameful and myself as such a failed loser.
I have had a horrible day and this brought me to me knees in all the good ways I really needed to hear this
The promotion of a compassionate lifestyle is a noble cause, and you do it with such grace and efficacy that I hold your channel in the highest esteem.
Hey, I loved the previous voice-overs you'd do for cooking videos. It calmed me. Can we have that back please ❤
I want to be a painter so badly, but I have so much pressure to finish grad school and go further into psychology. I love it, but I don't think I'll be fulfilled by it. I'm about to open an etsy and I feel so silly for being anxious, but all I want is to make art.
Completely unrelated, but I used you as evidence on my ap lang essay yesterday
Gochujang has a very specific taste. Will it go well with pasta?
Did your mother teach you how to cook, like the basics of cooking?
is it supposed to only have audio in the left channel?
Get good with failure, you'll do it quite a bit more often than you will succeed. Just make a point to always fail up. You might not hit your original goal right away, but if you fail up enough times, you Will get where you are going!
Thanks for the content Auntie Jo
I made this recently by chance and it was so awful I haven't eaten gochugong since
I think it’s called the “sunk cost fallacy”? I could be wrong. But that’s also what keeps a lot of people in bad relationships.
After frying the garlic in the butter, what red paste is that? Looks awesome
This was a whole WORD👏🏾
I love food but suck at cooking. I watch your videos mostly because I love listening to you. Somehow it puts my mind at ease? Atleast for a few mins things seem less intimidating
what is that red sauce? Tomato?
