Cooking Korean food is something that makes me really happy. I love to see all my jars of kimchi in the fridge and make different doshirak to take in to work. </p> <p>I was born in Seoul but moved to NY when I was five, too young to really know how to cook (although there are memories of me helping make rice cakes and cleaning radishes with my aunt). My mother doesn't really cook at all and it's disappointing how very few websites there are with a cache of Korean recipes, especially with videos or step-by-step tutorials. How happy I was to find your website! </p> <p>I love the community you have created here. Thank you for all your recipes and all your videos! </p> <p>- Jen </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-4845 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:59:25 +0000 Soju123 4845@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi!</p> <p>I've been watching your videos and cooking with your recipes for months, and finally decided I should join to post pictures of the food that you have helped me make.

I am so excited that I ran across this site! My fiance and I LOVE to cook different foods and we have never cooked Korean dishes before. I went through some of the recipes posted already and everything is so detailed it makes it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this with the world, it is truly amazing! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-4074 Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:59:55 +0000 Kayla 4074@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Haha, I think I introduced myself inadvertently on one of your blog posts. xD I'll do it the right way, now.</p> <p>My father is from Korea and most of my memories of him and of his birth mother revolve around good Korean food. I remember visiting my dad when I was young and he'd make all kinds of fusion Korean dishes and I loved the change from my mother's western-style cuisine (I love that, too, but I love spicier foods unlike much of my family). I especially remember kimchi. We would eat it with everything (sometimes in everything, as was the case with his ramen).</p> <p>When I met my Korean grandmother for the first time, I got to sample traditional, homemade fare (I've had Korean food in restaurants, but there is something different when it's made at home, by people you love). Everyone in my family, including my dad, begs my grandmother for her recipes, but she guards them well, even banning us from being in the kitchen while she's cooking. She shared her bulgogi recipe with me (well, sort of... I had to piece together what she quickly assembled in the bowl), but this site is a newfound treasure as I'd like to prepare all the other delicious dishes I'd sampled, plus new ones! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-4034 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:43:09 +0000 ryanct203 4034@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>My name is Ryan. I live in Connecticut, not too far from NYC. I love Korean food. Maangchi is the best! I have made a bunch of her recipes and so far I've had a 100% success rate. My favorite dishes are: Ojingu bukeum, fresh style kimchi, soondubu, spicy fish cake stir-fry, yubuchobap and many others... </p> <p>I was first introduced to Korean food about 10 years ago, on one of my many night out in the city. Many of the Korean restaurants are open 24 hours, so we would all go clubbing and dance till like 3 or 4 in the morning and then we would go to our favorite restaurant (I won't mention it by name, but it's on 32nd street and inside it has a fake mountain , complete with a waterfall and a white baby grand piano on top of the mountain) for some delicious food and soju. The spicy food is so good when you've had a couple of drinks, hehe :P Anyway, this is still my ritual to this day whenever I go out clubbing.</p> <p>Thanks again for sharing all of your knowledge with us Maangchi!</p> <p>ryan :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-4032 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:24:14 +0000 Maangchi 4032@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Nice meeting you here! Welcome, everybody! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-4030 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:50:34 +0000 vemione 4030@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hello... =]<br /> I'm Veronica, from Brazil, and I've been studying your receips for a long time! Now I'm trying to get courage to try to make it by myself!<br /> In my city we don't have a korean restaurant so my only chance is to make it by myself... with your help I hope I can make it!<br /> I'm also thinking about recording it, and explain in portuguese what are the ingredients and how they can make it!<br /> =]<br /> I hope you'll aprove that!<br /> Well I'll really work hard to learn how to cook korean food!<br /> thanks a lot for your hard work </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-3898 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 01:38:29 +0000 eveheart 3898@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I live in California, where my Korean friends say I'm half Korean because I eat kimchi every day. My love of Korean food started more than ten years ago, when a friend from Korea took me on a four-hour tour of three huge Korean supermarkets in Garden Grove, California. We went up and down every single aisle, and she showed me what everything was, including sampling all the side dishes that were for sale. I live in northern California now, and my area has three big Korean supermarkets, too. I learned the Korean alphabet so I could read labels, even though I can't pronounce anything correctly.</p> <p>This is the best recipe site on the internet. Maangchi is so much fun to watch, and her videos are completely informative, no detail is left without a complete explanation, simple steps are easy to follow in my own kitchen. My favorite recipes here are the side dishes. It saves so much money to make my own. The mak kimchi recipe is incredibly good. I use the 1-cup of pepper flakes, which is perfect for my tastebuds. </p> <p>So, hello everybody! Hello and thank you, Maangchi! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-3844 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 06:41:14 +0000 arale1402 3844@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>@Damien_1977</p> <p>I believe you want the recipe for Gochujang (고추장).</p> <p>Here is some general information about it:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang#Ingredients" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang#Ingredients</a></p> <p>and here I found a recipe:<br /> <a href="http://blog.daum.net/carrotstar/7873986" rel="nofollow">http://blog.daum.net/carrotstar/7873986</a><br /> It is very important to use Korean Chilipowder/flakes. I once tried it with Thai Chiliflakes and it just doesn't do the trick.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p>T. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-3843 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 06:29:20 +0000 arale1402 3843@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hello, my name is Tanya. I live in Kent, the mostly sunny Southeast of England. My mother is from Thailand, so if anyone needs some nice recipes, I see what I can do haha. And it was actually my Mum, who introduced me to Korean food. She ordered Bulgogi, and ever since I loved it. But even more so, I love kimchi!<br /> A friend of mine comes from the Cholla-Namdo region and showed me how to make their style of Baechu kimchi, which is hotter :) Unfortunately though, I am not able to cook kimchi at home, because we only have one fridge, and live in a small flat. No garden to dig kimchi into the ground in autumn/winter, and no space for a 2nd fridge! I miss cooking kimchiiiiiiii!!! Y_Y<br /> Nonetheless, I very much enjoy watching your video, Maangchi ^^ </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself/page/8#post-3842 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 18:38:08 +0000 aza.butcher 3842@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi :)</p> <p>I'm Aza from Toronto, Canada and I happened to stumble on your website while I was looking for Korean recipes through a google search. I recently visited Korea 3 months ago and have NEVER forgotten the wonderful experience I had there. I've fallen in love Korea and one of the greatest memories was eating many of the delicious meals that were homemade by my korean friends or in many of the local restaurants. </p> <p>Yesterday I found myself feeling "homesick" for Korea and was really craving Korean food, but I wanted to make it at home and that's when I discovered your site. I must say you have the best website out of the others I have searched. I really appreciate your videos. I'm really looking forward to creating many great Korean dishes in my own home. You're doing a great service for so many people. Thank you.</p> <p>-aza.butcher </p>
