My wife just tried this and she was happy with the result. If you do use a banana you can leave out the sugar. </p> <p><a href="http://www.beyondkimchee.com/bokchoy-kimchi/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beyondkimchee.com/bokchoy-kimchi/</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/cant-have-starches#post-6550 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:56:49 +0000 meghpie 6550@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I make kimchi all the time with no rice flour, just fyi. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/cant-have-starches#post-6514 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:42:41 +0000 powerplantop 6514@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>If you are using the porridge for making kimchi you can simply leave it out. Just be sure to mix your kimchi really good and you may need to remix the next day. The porridge helps to coat the vegetables. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6511 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:24:52 +0000 powerplantop 6511@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Ray, </p> <p>Do you know a good fish market in the area where I can buy fresh fish at a reasonable price?</p> <p>James </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6510 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:23:03 +0000 powerplantop 6510@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>When your looking for a Korean market check the directory<br /> <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/shopping/" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/shopping/</a></p> <p>If you find a new one you can add it. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6503 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 05:09:07 +0000 bigoledude 6503@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>The giant Asian market I first went to, didn't know what "Korean" pepper flakes/powder was. That's where I bought the Thai peppers. The most incredible sweet Chinese lady heard my inquiry and approached me with the location of a "Korean" market. The nicest folks own this place and, they knew EXACTLY what I needed! This Korean pepper has the most incredible flavor and a beautiful color. Both color and flavor permeate the kimchi. I am sooo glad that I did not substitute with the Thai peppers. However, I did add a little of the Thai pepper to kick-up the heat a little. This market is in Metairie Louisiana at the following location; Oriental Market, 3324 Transcontinental Dr<br /> Metairie, LA 70006, (504) 457-4567 </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/cant-have-starches#post-6486 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:58:30 +0000 unchienne 6486@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Oh wow. I've been recently diagnosed and found a rice type/blend that works for me, but my diabetes isn't severe enough to avoid all starches altogether, so I'm not sure about anything non-starch. Wish I could be of more help. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/old-guy-from-louisiana#post-6474 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:59:41 +0000 MindyGirl 6474@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Venison bulgogi sounds awesome! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6473 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:56:32 +0000 MindyGirl 6473@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Thai chilis, in general, are really spicy! If you use them in Kimchi, use way less than you would Korean chili powder. Of course, you won't get that beautiful orangey-red color but the flavor should be good.<br /> Try making a small batch of Kimchi and experiment with the amount of Thai chili. Sounds yummy! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6471 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:57:46 +0000 bigoledude 6471@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I have the little small peppers that are smaller than my pinky. Of course, my pinky is bigger than most folks thumb! LOL!!! No kidding, they are the small skinny Thai peppers. Are these okay for kimchi? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6470 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:15:09 +0000 Mikura 6470@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Actually, small correction. If you're talking about the big dried thai peppers (around the thickness of an adult male's thumb), NOT the small one (thinner than a pinky finger), you can probably use those with decent results. I just saw them at a thai market today and realized that might have been what you were talking about. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6467 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:30:14 +0000 Vibey 6467@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Not at all a good substitute, IMO. Thai peppers - as much as I love them - have a completely different flavour and are way too hot. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6464 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 07:04:17 +0000 Mikura 6464@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Unfortunately, Thai peppers are NOT a good substitute. They are mostly just spicy, rather than the more earthy, fruity and moderately spicy Korean peppers. Cayenne also makes a poor substitute as it is too spicy. If you absolutely cannot find gochugaru, you can probably get by with using guajillo, ancho, or Hungarian paprika as these have the most similar profile to gochugaru that I can think of. I've never actually used these in kimchi though, so cant be certain. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/will-whole-dehydrated-thai-peppers-make-good-pepper-flakes#post-6463 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:17:56 +0000 bigoledude 6463@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I hardly ever bought crushed peppers or pepper flakes. With our Louisiana style cooking, I just buy the whole dried cayenne or Tabasco peppers and make my own. I've read many of ya'lls posts about specifically using the KOREAN pepper flakes for kimchi.</p> <p>I just bought two large bags of whole "Thai dehydrated peppers". If I run these Thai whole dried peppers through a food processor, will they make good kimchi? Will it taste differently than the traditional kimchi? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/old-guy-from-louisiana#post-6456 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:22:40 +0000 powerplantop 6456@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Ray,</p> <p>Cook deer meat using a Bulgogi marinade.

Starches cause my blood sugar to get too high. Cauliflower makes a fabulous sustitute for whole rice but, I need a substitute for rice flour and porridge. Any ideas? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/old-guy-from-louisiana#post-6453 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 05:55:23 +0000 bigoledude 6453@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>My name is Ray. I'm an old Cajun. I've been cooking since I was a kid. Our heritage, our culture and our diet revolves around seafood mostly and also wild game. These recipes, although not very similar to Cajun-style food, look to be delicious before I even try them! I bought some kimchi from a local Korean lady and, I loved it. Since seafood plays such an integral part of our lives, I will certainly try using it in my kimchi. </p>
