The stuff in your freezer reminds me of what's in my freezer. My friends also like to look in my refrigerator!<br /> : ) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/whats-in-your-fridge#post-4222 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:49:16 +0000 unchienne 4222@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Someone asked what banchans I made recently, which got me thinking about what's in my fridge. I know that when non-Asian friends come over, they always go straight to my fridge first, blurting out "what do you have in your fridge?" while walking towards it. Then they just stand there for a few minutes, browsing all the foreign ingredients like a kid in a candy store. </p> <p>Which is not to say that I don't do the same to them. I do. Baking fascinates me, and I find it a constant marvel that they have endless amounts of dairy products in their fridges...none of which taste like kimchi. I'll happily nosh away on a piece of cheddar in the same way my friend will munch on some anchovies from my fridge, all the while peering towards the back to see what treasures remain yet to be discovered.</p> <p>So that got me thinking about what's in your fridges as well. We have such a diverse group. It'd be interesting to see what lies in refridgerators from other countries or lifestyles. So if you want to, post pictures or (preferably, so we don't clog Maanchi's website) links and show us what you got.</p> <p>Here's mine (both fridge and freezer):</p> <p>Side door is stocked with spices and sauces. Hot pepper, dashida, soba sauce, and kewpie mayo just to name a few.</p> <p><a href="http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/009.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/009.jpg</a></p> <p>Freezer section holds the bulk of what I cook with. Mostly seafood and frozen prepared items. My one weakness (MC chicken pot pie) is shown here: so good but soooo fattening. Big ziplock holds blanched cabbage that I dole out for various miso soups. Two containers to the bottom right hold some brisket and turnip soup and soybean soup. Right now I'm stocked full with seafood. Frozen sea snail, crab, pompano, salted croaker, and shrimp make up the bulk of it, though the occasional chicken will pop up, and I always keep some beef brisket on hand.</p> <p><a href="http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/012.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/012.jpg</a></p> <p>long-term storage of spices are done in the freezer. Some homemade hot pepper flakes my mom recently bought for me, my anchovy teabags, dried anchovy, and supply of thai bird chilies (which freeze very well). And that lone little box of baking soda that struggles in vain to keep everything from smelling like kimchi. </p> <p><a href="http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/014.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/014.jpg</a></p> <p>Bottom shelf: miso pastes, tofu, and eggs. Middle shelf: kimchi, stir-fries, black bean paste, and a couple of banchan. The cotton mesh bag holds kirby cucumbers, which I plan on making into Korean salt pickles, using Maangchi's recipe. Top shelf: corn tea, the bulk of my banchans and some more kimchi.</p> <p><a href="http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/016.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/unchienne/Everything%20else/016.jpg</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration-1#post-3667 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:15:31 +0000 unchienne 3667@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I live in a humid climate and always kept mine in the fridge after one incident where I left themm out too long and they developed mold. Yes, they are dried, but they can absorb enough moisture from the air to become a nice little home for all sorts of mold and such. Same with red pepper flakes. Mine get moldy if I don't store long-term in the fridge or freezer. I've never had dried seaweed go moldy on me, so I store them in my pantry, but I have had seasoned gim sheets go limp if not kept in a humid-free place. So I keep those in the freezer as well. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration-1#post-3292 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 09:26:41 +0000 crazybuoy 3292@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>hey</p> <p>here are some tips for you<br /> practicallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/Anchovy </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration-1#post-3231 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:23:28 +0000 Wenjon Mac 3231@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Yes i am agree to this that you should have to freeze them to use for a long time i think after freezing they are protected from moisture and the germs </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration-1#post-3198 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:11:22 +0000 koralex90 3198@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Although it's dried, freezing them allows it to store longer. Dried anchovies can go stale if out too long in the cabinet and in humid temperatures, suck up the moisture. If you bought alot and are planning to use them for a while, it's best to freeze them in a ziploc bag. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration-1#post-3184 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:47:29 +0000 douglasm 3184@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I just bought some boiled and dried anchovies from my korean market, it tells me to keep them frozen, is this neccessary? If they are dried why do i need to keep them frozen, is it okay to just leave them out or is it important to keep them in the fridge?</p> <p>Thanks for the help!<br /> *realised I posted it in the wrong section lol, should be a delete button, sorry :(* </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/refrigeration#post-3183 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:45:20 +0000 douglasm 3183@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <br />
