I majored in Linguistics to work for the embassy as a translator and wanted to master the Asian language from Chinese to Korean. I eventually dropped out of Mandarin and Cantonese due to I was blending the dialects when speaking. Lol... I stayed in Korean and was fluent in the language for 3 yrs until I moved away and really didn't speak it for a long time. Sad I know... But I do comprehend it some. I learned a lot while in college and thinking of going to take some courses to get back in the hang of the language. </p> <p>I have always loved different foods of all sorts and the unusual and extreme. I find it exciting and I enjoy the symbolism of the foods and the culture from which they derived from. My mom took me to my first Korean Buffet in our home town of Sierra Vista, AZ named Koreanna for my 10th birthday and it was just the 2 of us. It was nice and enjoyable and since then I was hooked. I cook Asian food all the time for myself and my family and friends. I am always making kimchi cause I can't live without it. I eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I can't keep it in my house long enough due to friends and family want to take it home.... lol.... So I am making very large quantities and I should be selling it.<br /> I learn a lot by watching and improvising with what I have on hand if I don't have a certain ingredient. I have also found that the food that was made when they had no food or a large family to feed and were limited on what they had to feed the family are the best and the most enjoyed that friends and family of mine want me to make the most of the time.... I enjoy that cause it is easy and cheap on me and my wallet and I can feed an army and sometimes do by throwing a dinner party once in a while. Yeah!!! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/pumpkin-stew#post-6480 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 05:02:44 +0000 Koreanlover 6480@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Pumpkin Stew or Hobak Juk:</p> <p>I have attempted to make this especially during the holiday seasons and I have a complicated time with it.

I put 1/2 table spoon of vinegar and red pepper flakes and 1 table spoon of msg and 1/2 tablespoon of salt into the cabbage after I get done soaking it and washing it. I crush a whole head of Garlic with about 1/2 of ginger into a paste and mix the green onion and the mixture all together with the cabbage and I have my kimchi. Is it on different regions of south Korea as far as how they make their kimchi and how they make their kimchi. I want to know why the sauce is so important  I am very interested in knowing why? I love your videos. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/muul-kimchi#post-2914 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:59:42 +0000 Koreanlover 2914@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I want to know how to make water kimchi.
