This week our Korean food fan is Harshita Ambre from India. She had never tasted Korean dishes before, but she has been very interested in learning Korean food. Only problem is that she can’t find Korean cooking ingredients easily where she lives. But she enjoys making Korean street snack ppopgi (sugar candy), twisted doughnuts, and ginger tea that she doesn’t need any special Korean cooking ingredients. I wish there were some Korean grocery stores in her area so that she could cook all kinds of delicious Korean dishes! Happy cooking, Harshita!
What is your name and where do you live?
My name is Harshita Ambre and I live in Nashik city of Maharashtra state in India.
How often do you cook Korean food?
I always try to cook korean simple recipes at home like ginger tea and sugar candy (ppopgi) at home. at the place where I live and stay there is no korean grocery store where I can get korean ingredients to cook korean food at home. India is very big country but korean grocery stores are only present in New Delhi and Chennai which are very far away from the place where I stay. but I try to make those recipes which have the ingredients which I can find in Nashik.
What are your 3 favorite Korean dishes?
My favorite korean dishes which I would like to eat first will be
1. Kimchi.
2. black bean noodles i.e Jjajangmyeon.
3. Ddeokbokki.
What’s your best Korean dish, the one that everybody compliments you on?
Ppopgi (old-fashioned Korean sugar candy)
