Plus kimchi you can make in big batches and dpending on how many people are in your family you can probably eat some every day for most of a month. I think it costs me around 15 dollars to make a 10 pound batch of kimchi.</p> <p>Also being of latin descent i totally understand the thing about eating lots of fatteneing food. what I love about korean is that it is so healthy for you the typical mean is rice a light soup a main dish and lots of vegtibleside dishes. a typical korean meal is often well balanced and the focus is more on rice or other starches and lots of veggies. i recomend eating lots of kimchi and some form of seaweed and plain green tea, those are low cal and good for losing weight! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/expensive-or-cheep#post-5351 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:39:47 +0000 LisaL 5351@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Well for myself, there is really only one place to go for the good authetic Asian ingredients. They can be cheap, but also some things can get expensive as well.<br /> It just depends on where you live and if you have a large Asian community. If it's large, then more than likely you'll have a lot more cheaper options for your grocery shopping.</p> <p>If you want to lose weight.. the only thing that has ever worked for myself was going on a Primal or Paleo diet. Look it up if you're interested. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/expensive-or-cheep#post-5341 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:10:00 +0000 Holland Oppa 5341@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>안녕 hello everyone. i am mike and i am seventeen years old. i have been listening to a lot of kpop recently and was stricken with the thought many of today's youth have been succumbed by.
