Hi Maangchi,
Maybe it wasnt bulgogi maybe it was Japchae. Is Japchae and Pajeun the same thing?
no, they are different.
Japchae:

pajeon:

I used buchu (asian chives) instead of green onions (pa) in the recipe.
Hi,
I saw your web and love it as I can learn to cook more korean food now.
I love to eat kimchi but my concern is too much salt involved in making kimchi….I was told to us coarse salt which is better in making kimchi by my korean friend….CAN WE DO WITHOUT SALT ? What purpose of adding salt to fresh kimchi before adding kimchi sauce….is there any healthier salt to use if it a must in making kimchi…
Awaiting your advise.
Thanks!
Fan from Singapore.

Maangchi!
I’m sorry I could not make it to your meetup; I was still jetlagged from my Korean trip, but I hope to make it next time (I live in central NJ!).
The food everyone made looks amazing!!
By the way, please give us the recipe for makkoli and/or dong dong ju sometime~~~~!! ^^*
How about a San Diego meetup. I would totally do that.
oh, you are living in San Diego! Sure, I hope I can meet you there someday!
Hi Maangchi,
I wish I couldn’t been there; but I was all the way in L.A.
(the other side of the country~)
However, I am happy to know that your meeting was a success.
Cathy
yeah, let’s meet up in LA someday again!
All the food was so good making it so hard to judge. The cake was amazing and super moist. The Meetup was really fun and it’s a good thing i didn’t open the hot pepper paste from the bubble wrap because it’s really hard to find ingredients in the Dominican Republic. I only know of one Chinatown on the whole island, and I won’t be back in New York until the end of August. It’s a life saver or shall I say Food Saver ^_^.
Jenneida!
OMG! My hot pepper paste is in Dominican Republic with you now! Have a nice trip there and think about me whenever you eat the hot pepper paste! : )
Looks like everyone had a great time. To bad I could not make it.
yeah, we had a great time. You are invited to my next meetup! lol

Hey Maangchi, when will you do a meetup in Toronto? Looking forward to it.
I’m sorry about late reply. To tell the truth, I have to go to Toronto soon for my dental treatment. I don’t think I can find time to plan meetup in Toronto this time due to my busy schedule.
Some other time, Thank you very much Becky!
