Hi Bona,

Can you tell me under what name it sells in the north-east? I would like to know all the different names for it in NE. If not, the Manipuri name is just fine.

This chives look like Gow Choy (Chinese Chives) or in Malaysia we call it Kucai. The older harvested plant has white color flowers.

I am going to make Kimchijiggae tomorrow. Just got myself an earthen Korean pot, napa cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, hot peper flakes and Gochujang paste from a little Korean town (Ampang) within our city. So I am checking Maangchi’s website to find out more recipes so I can have a Korean nite dinner tomorrow.

I’m copying and pasting this from my kimchi recipe.
“Add 7 diagonally-sliced green onions, 2 cups of Asian chives (cut into 2 inches in length), and 2 cups of shredded Korean radish.”

Hi Maangchi,

how much chives and green onion should I use for the Kimchi recipe, because you did not specified how much to use on your website, thanks!

Hi Maangchi, I made a Kim chi following recipe “allegedly” THE ULTIMATE KIMCHI RECIPE. What a dissappointing. It does not look good at all. I`m very happy that I found your site. Being recently with my wife in Seoul we are just `wrapped` in your country, people, history etc. Living in Australia we see obese people, unhealthy just pathetic. On the other hand being in Seoul for 4 days/only/ we saw 5 – five persons overweight. Unbelievable. I love that your demonstration and looking forward to my next Korean cooking experiment George

From the chinese grocery store it’s called Gow Choy and it’s the same as Buchu, or alternative you can take Gow Choy Fah, that’s with a flower.
