Tokyo Mart

I was so happy to find this store yesterday. It’s at 91 Mulberry St in Chinatown. The closest subway is Canal St.

I saw many Korean ingredients (hot pepper powder, paste, seaplant.. etc) sold at a cheap price. They even have the short grain rice that I eat! I bought some dried noodles and Chinese egg roll skins.

I love to hang around this area. When you get out of the store, the street vendors on the sidewalk are selling all kinds of fresh vegetables at a tremendously cheap price. I bought a bunch of Asian chives for $1!

    Hi Maangchi. Do you think they sell enough ingredients to make some of the recipes you posted? There are some I really want to cook at home. I can’t find any Korean ingredients here in Brooklyn. It takes me like an hour to get to Manhattan.

  7. Maangchi:

    Hello, Richard,
    Would you leave your question on my Forum? I’m sure you will get answer from those who are living in Brooklyn area. I’m new here, so I don’t know much about it. I go to the han a reum store where Cathy recommend. Sometimes I go to Tokyo mart and china town.

    Maangchi,

    Thanks so much for putting up that video about how to make saamgyetaang last year. I live in New York City, and I was wondering if you would know of a store which sells fresh ginseng root. Normally, I see the dried variety in Chinatown. Do you know if the H mart in K-town would have it?

    Thanks for your help!

    jane

    Jane,
    I saw fresh ginseng sold at a Chinese grocery in China town. I think you should leave your question on the forum. I’m new to New York. : )
