I really like to make Japchae for large parties because I can make a lot at once, its relatively cheap to make, and it can feed a number of people. Also, I am functioning on a college budge,t and this dish is good for that because you don't need a whole lot of meat for it. If you have lots of flavorful veggies added, you won't even miss it if you put less meat in to save money. A big platter of Kimbap is always a hit at parties too! I hope this helps, and good luck with your party :). </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/korean-themed-party#post-6148 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:49:14 +0000 powerplantop 6148@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>For a birthday <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/miyuk-guk" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/miyuk-guk</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/korean-themed-party#post-6146 Wed, 09 May 2012 15:36:36 +0000 CafeGirl 6146@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>I'm new on maangchi.com, and am quickly becoming convinced that this is going to be a life savor!<br /> In July, I'll be turning 18, and want to have a Korean themed birthday party; my mom and I are planning on cooking most of the food, and I'm actually getting ready to get up here in a minute to test the ddukbokkie recipe and see if I'll actually like it. ^_^ If anyone has any suggestions on what they think I should cook, I'd love to hear them!</p> <p>Thanks, maangchi.com!!!</p> <p>- CafeGirl </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/party-food-in-seoul#post-5708 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:02:08 +0000 tastingkorea 5708@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>You can make it buffet style with ssam, korean bbq, mandu, kimchi, rice, japchae, etc. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/party-food-in-seoul#post-5675 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:55:27 +0000 Mandu22 5675@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone!<br /> Please Give me some advice. I am in Seoul and will have friends over for my housewarming next week.<br /> If I was back home in Europe Id probably make a big pie. However in Seoul and on a budget, I want to make something Korean (or fusion) with local ingredients. I'm not sure what people normally would serve here.<br /> We should be about 20 people so finger food/appetizers would be best.<br /> Suggestions?<br /> Thank you! (^_^)//</p> <p>Ps: I have a small gas stove, BBQ and small toaster oven </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/make-ahead-party-recipes#post-3692 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:30:35 +0000 roselane 3692@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>oops!

I have a friend who makes wonderful food from her native Korea every year for a work party (Full Moon Party). This year she is having some health problems and I have been asked to host the party. She does not cook from recipes and is always harried trying to get ready right before the party. I would like to make some Korean dishes, but would like to choose dishes that I can make the day before (or even earlier and freeze) so I am not harried right before the party. Can anyone suggest some of the recipes on this website? They all look so yummy! I love all of the Korean food I have ever had/made, but don't know anything that would be good frozen. Thanks so much in advance! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/ideal-korean-menu-for-a-party-on-a-budget#post-2368 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:59:29 +0000 alexwinter 2368@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi, Usually western meal is consisted of appetizer, main dish, and dissert. </p> <p>If I were you, I will pick dishes as followed: </p> <p>appetizer: kimchi pancake or seafood pancake.( you can prepare these in advance, and just heat them up before serving. Don't forget to cut them up as one portion, maybe pizza shape will do fine.) </p> <p>Main dish: bibimbap as Maangchi suggested. or in case you chose seafood pancake for appetizer, go for kimchi fried rice for main dish. If you combine sweet and sour pork, that will be great... sweet and sour pork also can be prepared in advance and all you need to do is pour the hot syrup over the fried pork... </p> <p>Dissert: I will choose Korean perssimon drink.. or if you don't mind lots of work, then I will suggest kyungdan.. balled shaped korean rice cake.. I wish our great Maangchi introduce us Yanggaeng( sweet red bean jelly dissert).. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/ideal-korean-menu-for-a-party-on-a-budget#post-2315 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:25:16 +0000 koreanboba 2315@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>i know xD its awesome to cook korean~ WOOOOOOT! btw, do u also attend UCD?

But I did most of those dishes last time I hosted a Korean party. I wanted to have a slight variation to the typical bulgogi, japchae dinner.</p> <p>Do you have any ideas, Maangchi? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/ideal-korean-menu-for-a-party-on-a-budget#post-2296 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:26:32 +0000 koralex90 2296@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I recommend the following:</p> <p>Japchae <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae</a><br /> Bulgogi (not stew) <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bulgogi-and-bulgogi-stew" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bulgogi-and-bulgogi-stew</a><br /> Mandu <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mandu" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mandu</a><br /> Pajun <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ya-chae-jeon" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ya-chae-jeon</a><br /> Dakgangjung <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dakkangjung" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dakkangjung</a><br /> and for dessert,<br /> Rice cake <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gyungdan" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gyungdan</a><br /> OR<br /> Hwajeon <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/hwajeon" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/hwajeon</a><br /> OR<br /> Maejakgwa <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/maejakgwa" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/maejakgwa</a></p> <p>Since you are doing a party, and it will take alot of work, maybe you can purchase the mandu from the store.. to make it alittle easier.. Maejakgwa and rice cake can be made the night before and bulgogi marinated the night before and grill it right before the party. Other things should be made right before the party - and possibly pajun should be made during the party to keep it hot and crispy..</p> <p>good luck! i am sure it will be a hit! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/ideal-korean-menu-for-a-party-on-a-budget#post-2295 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:26:01 +0000 koralex90 2295@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I recommend the following:</p> <p>Japchae <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae</a><br /> Bulgogi (not stew) <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bulgogi-and-bulgogi-stew" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bulgogi-and-bulgogi-stew</a><br /> Mandu <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mandu" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mandu</a><br /> Pajun <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ya-chae-jeon" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ya-chae-jeon</a><br /> Dakgangjung <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dakkangjung" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dakkangjung</a><br /> and for dessert,<br /> Rice cake <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gyungdan" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gyungdan</a><br /> OR<br /> Hwajeon <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/hwajeon" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/hwajeon</a><br /> OR<br /> Maejakgwa <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/maejakgwa" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/maejakgwa</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/ideal-korean-menu-for-a-party-on-a-budget#post-2292 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 22:23:34 +0000 prahcello 2292@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hello! My name is Paul, and I am a student living in Germany. I have been a fan of Maangchi's videos and recipes for a while now, but only dared to 'show' myself only now! </p> <p>I love to cook for other people, and often invite people over for dinner for some simple Korean dishes I make for myself (my bulgogi is quite famous now :). The problem is, my repertoire is not very large, and I am planning to throw a big party for a lot of people (around 30-40) in a few weeks, and I just wanted to ask Maangchi if she could suggest a dinner menu which combines variety of dishes which showcases the wide range of tastes Korean cuisine offers, and value for money (as I am a student, I am on a budget...) without compromising on quality? Although most people I will invite can eat spicy things with no problem, some guests cannot, so if she could consider the non-chili eaters, it would also be appreciated! Well, ANY advice from Maangchi would be much appreciated! :)</p> <p>Paul </p>
