But I find that Maangchi's recipes lean toward simplicity.</p> <p>Laughlady, just ask for rice that Koreans and Japanese eat. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2423 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:04:59 +0000 samyoowell 2423@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>1. Sesame Oil (cham gereum)<br /> 2. Hot Pepper Powder (gochu garu)<br /> 3. Hot Pepper Paste (gochu jang)<br /> 4. Dried Anchovies (myul chi)<br /> 5. Garlic (ma neul)<br /> 6. Soy Sauce (jo seon gan jang)<br /> 7. Soup Soy Sauce (gook gan jang)<br /> 8. Soy Bean Paste (dwen jang)<br /> 8. Sesame Seeds (crushed and uncrushed) (kke)<br /> 9. Green Onions (pa)</p> <p>To be realistic, in my opinion, a lot of the recipes that are posted on Maangchi's site take a lot of time and effort. There are more normative foods that are really basic. I would say the basic recipes would have to be like knowing how to make kimchi, kimchi stew (kimchi jjige), dwenjang jjige's, also all the basic soups like mi yuk guk (seaweed soup), kong namool guk (bean sprout soup), moo gook (radish soup). </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2420 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:44:44 +0000 laughladyXD 2420@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Is there another way to distinguish "short-grain" rice at my local Asian Market? I can't tell the difference between a lot of the selections. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2395 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:15:29 +0000 sirdanilot 2395@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Don't forget to buy hot pepper paste (gochujang). </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2392 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:48:39 +0000 jeaniem23 2392@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I would also suggest Kelp </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2385 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:13:14 +0000 Reinier 2385@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Also, dried shii-take mushrooms.<br /> Very conventient and you can keep them almost forever. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/basic-ingredients#post-2384 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:55:27 +0000 koralex90 2384@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Basic Korean cooking ingredients include:<br /> 1.
