Hi Maangchi,
How long can you refrigerate shrimp paste without it spoiling?
I make kimchi maybe once every two months and I’m weary about buying too much.

I love your website by the way… I’ve looked for something like this for such a long time. You are a pioneer..don’t stop!!
Happy New Year!
Salty shrimp never goes bad if you keep it in the refrigerator because it’s fermented food.
Hey Maangchi (:
i was wondering I know you use to live in Toronto so i assume you went to P.A.T to shop for korean grocery so i was wondering what aisle 새우젓 would be in? i was looking for it the other day but i couldnt find it
thank you!
Are you kidding? I never remember aisle number! : )

Copy the shrimp sauce photo and show it to a sales clerk there. It’s the easiest way to find it.
Maangchi, I’m trying to do 계란 찜 but i don’t have a salted shrimp. What can i substitute for it? Can i use fish sauce?
Use fish sauce then. I sometimes use fish sauce instead of fermented shrimp paste.
oh ok, thanks so much!
mattlai,
Oh, I should have explained what is this used for. Sorry! Check out my egg side dish where I used it.
You can use it in kimchi paste, too. 2 or 3 tbs of shrimp sauce (depending on your taste) will be enough for the amount of the kimchi that I made in the video.
