I am Korean and I love to cook. But because my mother doesn't make most Korean foods, I never learned how to make Korean food, and I wasn't even familiar with most Korean foods. I get introduced to korean food by visiting my friend's house and taste their mom's cooking. My brothers are begging for Korean food all the time so whenever I go there, I try to learn a new Korean recipe from Maangchi and experiement on them. They are very very grateful to you Maangchi for teaching their sister how to make authentic Korean food. And I'm so grateful that you make it so easy to follow. I have all your videos on my iphone and study them while I work out or ride on the bus. HAHA. You saved my Korean cooking life! Thank you so so much! xD </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/tofu-frozen-ummm#post-5795 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:44:51 +0000 Lorienaw 5795@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Yes, it helps. We are getting help from another vendor to supply some food items. This is trial and error. But exciting as well. Thanks!!! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/tofu-frozen-ummm#post-5773 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:51:23 +0000 Ashimi 5773@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Wow it was delivered frozen? Will they take it back?</p> <p>When you cut open tofu that has been frozen you will see large holes in the tofu - looks kind of like bread, rather than the fine texture you normally see. The taste is chewy, and rather grainy. It therefore doesn't work so well in normal korean tofu dishes. It might work for any dish in which you are going to break it up and mix with something else - like in mandoo.</p> <p>I have used frozen tofu in the past to mix into a mixture of chopped mushrooms when I wanted to emulate meat in a vegetarian casserole, and its not bad as a meat substitute in a chinese stir fry because the chewiness is satisfying to meat eaters, but for the most part the texture will not work well in most korean recipes.</p> <p>I hope you can return it, or you don't have a large amount! I would have a serious talk with your supplier!</p> <p>Good Luck! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/tofu-frozen-ummm#post-5771 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:03:50 +0000 Mikura 5771@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Freezing tofu absolutely destroys the texture (I speak from unfortunate experience). However, it resembles the texture of tofu skin, so you can actually still use it in stir fry dishes, or marinated in sweet sauce (similar to the taste in yubu chobap).</p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/tofu-frozen-ummm#post-5770 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 15:18:33 +0000 Lorienaw 5770@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Ok for those who do not know, I am providing the Korean population Korean style meals in our long term care facility. I ordered Tofu from my vendor and it was delivered frozen. Does this make a difference in the outcome of you meal. I the market I have never paid any attention to availability of frozen tofu. Any thoughts? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/looking-for-a-korean-cookbook-in-korean#post-5295 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:37:23 +0000 CindyinTO 5295@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Ashimi,</p> <p>Thanks for the offer but my Korean isn't good enough to translate. I'm looking for recommendations of a great Korean cookbook written in Korean that I can purchase so I can practice my Korean and my Korean cooking at the same time :) I'd really love a cookbook with lots of pictures too!</p> <p>I know I'm looking for something really specific but I hope someone can help!</p> <p>Thanks everyone!<br /> Cindy </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/looking-for-a-korean-cookbook-in-korean#post-5284 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 03:33:32 +0000 Ashimi 5284@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I have a huge volume. But don't read korean. It is apparently also a food science text denoting what food combinations are nutritionally advantageous, and why certain flavors are considered optimal. If you are interested perhaps we can come to an arrangement. I can send you the book if you pay for shipping, and you send me translated recipes.</p> <p>Let me know. The book is about 8 x 10 x 2.5 inches and 730 pages. It is called the "Home Cooking Encyclopedia" and looks to have been printed in the 1950's or 60's. There are some color photos in the beginning, and some black and white photos in the body of the book.</p> <p>I don't know if this is too old to interest you, or if you don't want to translate.</p> <p>If that is the case, and someone else is interested, Maangchi perhaps? Let me know. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/looking-for-a-korean-cookbook-in-korean#post-5275 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:52:13 +0000 CindyinTO 5275@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone, I love the recipes here but I would really like to find a great, authentic Korean cookbook written in Korean so I can practice my Korean while cooking.
