If you are around Midlothian There is Youngbin Kwan. There are two others, although I'm not sure exactly where they are. I can ask my husband.<br /> Also, there is an H mart, or another big Korean market like that in NoVa/Washington DC. you can find ANYTHING you need there! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/what-korean-food-freezes-well#post-2672 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:06:21 +0000 mrseum 2672@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Kumaxx; thanks! I'm LOL'ing at the "bachelor days". I'm not sure why the curry seperated, I cooled it on the stove, then it went to the refrigerator, and then the freezer. And I tried this a few times, so I do not freeze it anymore.<br /> The oxtail soup; I will try that again. I just bought some oxtail today. I made it once according to my 2 american translated cookbooks, and it didn't turn out right. Now I will try the way my father in law explained. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-kimchi-smell-out-of-tupperware#post-2671 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:26:13 +0000 Reinier 2671@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>If you want to re-use the container you should use a glass one, that doesn't absorb the smell at all. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/how-do-i-remove-the-kimchi-smell-out-of-tupperware#post-2670 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:07:17 +0000 Chiao 2670@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>lol alright, from now on I'll use the tupperware for kimchi only.

These are the food that people may translate from old text in college.<br /> If you post the link, I'll read them and trying to see if any of them are actual recipes. I have my doubts because i've searched number of Korean food recipes over Korean internet and my experience has not been totally positive because we Koreans are not used to giving precise recipes. Most people just tends to say "it's done when it looks done" or " little bit of this and that" even the ones with measuring cups and spoons are not that accurate. It's whole lot of eyeballing but that's just how people cook and they assume that you do, too.</p> <p>Anyway, we can at least try, right? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hello-from-china#post-2660 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:31:51 +0000 sinoglenda 2660@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everybody!

Meatdishes are no problem either.<br /> pre-fry the meat, let it cool of, put it in a bag and freeze it. Then just put the bag in hot water and let it sit there until its hot. make a test run to see. </p> <p>I freeze jjajjang and Curry with no problem. Why does yours separate? you use bags or tupper? my tip: dont freeze warm things. let it cool of in the fridge for a day. Curry will be hard then anyways and may not separate. same goes for jjajjang.</p> <p>what i did for my girl-friend was something like this: rice, veggies, meat, let it cool of. make a tin-foil pouch and put everything in. put the pouches in a bag and freeze them. He can take the tin-pouches out and put them in the oven for about 30-60 mins by 180° (without the bag), depending on how much is in there. also.. make a test run.</p> <p>dont freeze veggies with too much water in them, they will turn mushy, dont freeze dubu.</p> <p>are you sure, your husband will suffer? it will be like his bachelor-days all over again. in other words: glorious... </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/what-korean-food-freezes-well#post-2657 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:30:18 +0000 mrseum 2657@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I will be going on vacation for a month with my (then) year old son, and want to make some food to freeze for my husband.<br /> But everything that I cook does not seem like it will freeze well. Dwenjjang Jigae, no soups.<br /> Can I freeze Dwaejigogi and Bulgogi? What about Jajang sauce? Fried rice? I've tried freezing curry before, but it seperates. :/ There must be something I can freeze. I'm going to buy some frozen soondae, because he loves soondae and that will be easy for him. I'll probably make some Curry for the first few days I'm away. But I do not want him living off of Ramyun, kimchi and Bap for a month!<br /> And it really does need to be simple, something he can heat and eat; he is NOT a cook. Sometimes he adds too much water to ramyun. (But I think he just does that so I'll make it! ;) )<br /> Thanks! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hello-fom-va#post-2656 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:24:38 +0000 mrseum 2656@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hello~<br /> I'm Mrs. Eum.

According to a survey done by Dr. Weston Price in South Pacific, the people who take highly coconut products as a diet are healthier and trim than the others.</p> <p>There are many benefits of coconut oil as a food, such as:</p> <p> * It strengthens the heart health.<br /> * Good for weight loss.<br /> * It is also helpful in supporting immune system health.<br /> * For healthy metabolism it is good.<br /> * It also keeps the skin healthy and young looking.<br /> * It is beneficial for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.</p> <p>There are some extraordinary benefits also, such as:</p> <p> * Helpful in achieving peace of mind.<br /> * It also adds taste and flavor when used in cooking.<br /> * If it is used as lotion then it keeps the skin healthy and shiny.</p> <p>Coconut oil is largely used as cooking oil also. The reason behind this is that it resists heat-induced damage and it is great for heart health. There are some more reasons also such as it keeps cholesterol level at normal position and also supports weight loss. Coconut oil is the best substitute of butter, olive oil, vegetable oil and margarine. In coconut oil you will find the most saturated fat than any other edible oil.</p> <p>Coconut oil is not just for cooking. It is used by many therapists also. From long time ago, there are many therapists who use coconut oil for massage to knead away tight stressed muscles. You can use it just like any other lotion. Coconut oil helps a lot in protecting your skin from the aging effects of free radicals and it also improves the look of the skin. Coconut oil has Vitamin E, which are good for skins. It also saves the skin from wrinkle effect as it is quickly absorbed by the skin and connective tissue, due to which the connecting tissues remain strong and supple. There are many benefits of coconut oil when it is used as a lotion for skin because of its moisturizing effects. It also promotes skin elasticity. Coconut oil is also used for making eye make-up remover and shaving applications.</p> <p>Now we can see that how much coconut oil is helpful or useful to us. It doesn’t matter for what purpose you want to use it because it serves almost all the purposes. Maybe it can use in more places but we do not know. And in almost all the countries coconut oil is found. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/saenggangran-%ec%83%9d%ea%b0%95%eb%9e%80#post-2650 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:25:18 +0000 cat76 2650@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi-</p> <p>whatever food you saw in the drama Daejanggeum is Korean court food long long time ago that was mostly made for kings and his family only. Ordinary people didn't eat most of those food you saw. That's why you have hard time finding the recipe. I am fully Korean, grew up in Korea but I've never heard of it and I am sure most people only heard such dish existed only through watching that drama. Keep looking but this is not the kind of people that make and eat in Korea so just keep that in mind. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/%eb%b6%80%eb%8c%80%ec%b0%8c%ea%b0%9c-and-about-how-to-make-%ec%a0%84%ea%b3%a8#post-2649 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:41:00 +0000 unchienne 2649@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I hope this doesn't sound insulting, but after years of seeing no one in the kitchen except older Korean women, it just strikes me as funny (in a good way) to see this video with a younger non-Korean man cooking and naming the ingredients. :)</p> <p>I'd heard of this dish, especially as my mother grew up during the war and surrounded by American soldiers (one of which she married), but I'd never seen it made. I just thought it was like kimchi-jigae except with Spam. I had no idea about the cabbage, noodles, and...um...pork n beans?! I love it's existence as a reminder of the perseverance of the Korean spirit and determination, but I will allow others to do the actual eating of this dish. It's flavors just look way too con-fusion. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/quail-egg-dish#post-2648 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:33:18 +0000 unchienne 2648@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I second Maangchi's suggestion. I prefer using quail eggs in my jangjorim because they look adorable and have all the flavors in one little bite. We don't have fresh quail eggs where I live (lucky you) but for the janjorim, I use canned eggs. They're a little rubbery, I admit, but the pickling in soy makes even fresh eggs just a bit more chewy, so it doesn't turn out to be a drastic difference. However, if I lived in an area that provided fresh, I'd definitely choose those over the canned version. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/saenggangran-%ec%83%9d%ea%b0%95%eb%9e%80#post-2647 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:29:01 +0000 tyh_1188 2647@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>hi:D could u pls show me how to make 생강란 when u r free? i just called it as ginger egg^^ i saw this from drama daejanggeum n i've been searching for d recipe for years..i guess the process might be a lil bit complicated, n i would like to know is saenggangran made for new year event?<br /> wish u can show us the making of this food..<br /> Thank you:D </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hi-d-im-from-malaysia#post-2646 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:10:39 +0000 tyh_1188 2646@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>hi everyone:D<br /> im so excited:D hehe.. im a 19-year-old girl who loves korean thingy so much til my frens caled me a korean freak..n currently a college student in malaysia:D</p> <p> i really like korean food, i've made some korean food before, sikhye, hwajeon, seaweed soup, dwenjang n kimchi jjigae blah blah.. too much.. i like this blog so much n really appreciate it.. thank u chef maangchi:D </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/radish-and-beef-soup-%ec%87%a0%ea%b3%a0%ea%b8%b0%eb%ac%b4%ea%b5%ad#post-2645 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:55:24 +0000 Maangchi 2645@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I posted the recipe long time ago, but it was with my oisobagi recipe (stuffed cucumber kimchi)<br /> <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/oisobagi-kimchi" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/oisobagi-kimchi</a></p> <p>I love soegogi muwooguk, too!
