Is there another name for it? Maybe that's why I can't find it online...(?) I'd really appreciate any help!<br /> Thanks!!<br /> Eva </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/where-to-buy-korean-ingredients-online#post-30 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:03:50 +0000 stanford 30@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>In <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/you-wanna-introduce-yourself#post-27">this other thread</a> Kurt recommended <a href="http://www.asiakauf.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.asiakauf.com</a> for buying ingredients from Germany.</p> <p>I'm lucky, I live near Koreatown, but if you're looking to shop online in the US there is Koa mart <a href="http://www.koamart.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.koamart.com</a> which seems to be USA only. Same with Hmart <a href="http://www.hmart.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hmart.com</a> which is Korean and English but the English site has a lot of Korean in it and is pretty confusing.</p> <p>I never shopped at any of these, but maybe someone who did can tell us if they're any good? Or recommend a better one. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/korean-tea-shaker#post-1245 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 20:56:17 +0000 unchienne 1245@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Not really an ingredient but a tool. Recently, I rented the two seasons of Grand Chef from Netflix (a soap opera drama about a Korean restaurant and it's chefs...very nice for us Korean foodies as a lot of dishes are prepared on camera). In one scene, the girl gets this big plastic thermos looking thing, takes off the top (which is held together by four lock and lock looking clips, adds hot water and tea leaves, replaces the top, shakes, and then lifts up an opening on the top that has a built-in strainer that siphons out the leaves as she pours. Lovely little contraption, and I'd love to get my hands on one. Anyone seen something like this in their local Asian foodstore? </p>
