I've tried plastic gloves, but it's not ideal.<br /> I want to know because I like to eat ginger but when I touch it, it burns my skin for the next 24h (I'm not allergic to ginger though).</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>marise </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/haejung-guk#post-506 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 20:36:22 +0000 reai0314 506@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi - do you have a good recipe for Haejung-guk? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/can-u-make-hanjaguk#post-3032 Tue, 11 May 2010 11:08:58 +0000 prettywell 3032@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I've heard this dish very famous and healthy<br /> can u show me how to do? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hello-from-the-puget-sound#post-5901 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:34:58 +0000 Heidela 5901@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I am fortunate to live in an area with great Korean food! Restaurants, grocerys and friends who have helped me learn the art of cooking and eating Korean. However Maangchi has been great for demytsifying foods even my " traditional" Korean friends buy premade! </p> <p>This is truly a wonderful food! Real home style Kimchi is full of probiotics and when I am feeling out of sorts physically or mentally it is my go too along with a hardy soup or stew. </p> <p>33 years since my first kimbab....and the beginning of a very healthy addiction to very beautiful friends and food!</p> <p>Maangchi is the icing on the cake for me!</p> <p>Thank you Maangchi! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5822 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:55:37 +0000 DistrictBelle 5822@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone, I am 23 and have 115 lbs to lose. Im trying to avoid fat and carbs. I weight train twice a week and do lots of cardio. Which korean dishes are the healthiest for weight loss and dieting? Any tips on recipe modifications like using quinoa instead of rice and no butter or greases? Thanks for any tips and meal suggestions! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/mochi#post-5636 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 03:04:49 +0000 fantasycouple 5636@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi MAANGCHI,</p> <p>Will you please make a video on how to make Mochi?

They have a simple selection of six BBQ courses to choose from, which includes bulgogi, galbi, spicy pork &amp; chicken, and marinated shrimp. All the main grilled entrees come with a pajun, soup, banchan, lettuce, kimchee and rice. At prices between around 15-18 euro for each menu, it's a pretty good deal considering that they refill everything (except the meat). My favorite is the shrimp, but the marinade for the bulgogi is also delicious. My husband loves the spicy pork. The kimchee is homemade and also very yummy.<br /> They also have bibimbap, dwenjang-jigae (amazing!), mae-un tang, and seafood pajun on the menu, but they can make other things by request such as japchae, golbengi, or ddukbokki. </p> <p>Overall it's a great (and only) place to get your Korean food fix in town, the decor is very cozy and not a bad place to take a date. The only thing is you should definitely make a reservation because there aren't a lot of tables! Also there's usually only one person waiting tables, so if it's busy be prepared to wait a little for things like drinks (food can arrive first). And bring cash, they also take credit cards but NOT debit/pincards. </p> <p>Bagijnestraat 8 2511 CK The Hague, Netherlands<br /> 070 3650602</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/seoulgarden.thehague" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/seoulgarden.thehague</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/bibim-guksu#post-1554 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:25:16 +0000 yourfriendjaneen 1554@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Yummy!

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/sweet-black-bean-paste#post-5891 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:05:56 +0000 solarflare317 5891@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>When I asked some friends to find me some black bean paste for jjajangmyun during their trip to phoenix, the brought me back a can of sweet black bean paste.</p> <p><a href="http://www.yollieorientalonline.com/products/Companion-Sweet-Black-Bean-Paste-18-oz..html" rel="nofollow">http://www.yollieorientalonline.com/products/Companion-Sweet-Black-Bean-Paste-18-oz..html</a></p> <p>Pretty sure this won't work so does anybody know any recipes I can use this for?</p> <p>Much appreciated :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/naan#post-5889 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:13:34 +0000 powerplantop 5889@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Wet:<br /> 1/2 cup lukewarm water<br /> 1 Tablespoon sugar<br /> 1 package dry yeast</p> <p>Dry:<br /> 3 cups of All Purpose flour<br /> 1 teaspoon salt</p> <p>1 1/2 cups yogurt<br /> 2 Tablespoons melted Ghee </p> <p>Mix the Wet ingredients to activate the yeast.<br /> Mix the Dry ingredients.<br /> After the yeast has started to foam mix the yogurt and Ghee into the Wet.<br /> Add the Wet to the dough.<br /> Mix well and add yogurt or water to make a wet dough.<br /> Let dough rest covered for 15 to 30 minutes.<br /> Divided dough into smaller balls and let rise 15 to 30 minutes.<br /> Preheat oven and baking sheet.<br /> Shape balls into naan shape; brush the top with melted ghee.<br /> Heat a flat pan.<br /> Add your Naan to hot pan until it puffs up.

Drain saving the water from the beans. Blend mung beans, rice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 cups water blend until almost smooth. </p> <p>Add veggies and if you want meat. Add the batter to a hot pan with oil.

My butcher can cut it L.A. style, across the bone, bue I want it traditional/king style (aka, wang galbi), with the meat filleted out from the bone into a very thin strip. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galbi" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galbi</a> for details. I doubt my butcher would do this, because he probably wouldn't know how, and even if he did, I doubt he'd be willing to spend the time doing it. Besides, the local butchers are not consistent in terms of how thinly they slice the meat, and I want it extremely thin. I know I could probably buy wang galbi at a Korean market, but I want to use grass-fed beef, and grass-fed beef is not available at my local Korean market (in Oakland, California). Any suggestions as to how I can learn how to cut this meat myself? I looked on Youtube, Amazon, and Google, but I couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for your help!</p> <p>Bonus question: Does the meat cook/taste better king-style, in your opinion, compared to L.A. style? </p>
