“You can imagine how proud I was..”
yes, I’m also proud of you, too! Someday I’d like to taste your japchae! : )
It’s early morning here in Mexico city. You already made my day!
Happy cooking!

Dear Maangchi…I have been using the recipes from your site for a few years now but never took the time to write to you, how happy you made me and ny husband with your recipes.
We both think you deserve a big STATUE!!! Everything is explained so clair! Before we went to Korea I already made Jap Chae and because I never tasted it before it was a bit difficult. When we tasted the dish in Korea we found out that the taste was very simmular to what I made….You can imagine how proud I was… My husband was born in Korea and now we live in the Netherlands. Thank you so much !!! warm regards Petra Lee X

I just made this for my parents for the first time, and the look in their eyes was priceless. They were thoroughly surprised I could make yummy Korean food :)

Check this out please. http://www.maangchi.com/guide/essential-ingredients Or you will find homemade doenjang sold in a jar at H Mart in Flushing. That’s what I use these days and it’s delicious.

Thank you so much. I made this last night, and my husband actually whispered that it was better than my mother’s! Speaking of my mother, I used her homemade daeng jang. If that isn’t available, is there a particular kind in the store that your recommend? The variety in stores is overwhelming, especially since I can’t understand what I’m reading! Thank you.

Ssamjang is different from doenjang but if doenjang is not available, use it. Serrano pepper sounds good to me.
Check out my grilled beef recipe. I’m copying and pasting ssamjang recipe for you here.
http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/grilled-beef

“Make ssam Jaang (dipping sauce) by mixing the following ingredients: 1tbs of hot pepper paste, 2 tbs of soy bean paste, ½ tbs of sugar, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tbs of chopped green onion, 1 tbs of sesame oil, ½ tbs of toasted sesame seeds.”

Can I use a serrano pepper? And I have ssamjang will that work instead of doenjang?

Hi mikura,
u’re right,most of the bean paste sold in malaysia contain alcohol so it’s really hard to get the halal one..But fortunately,i found halal miso paste at local store..n i’m going to make my bean paste stew today! Hope it’ll taste great with miso paste..Thanks for your recommendation…:)
