Maangchi's cookbooks


Which to get? I suggest my second book, Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking because it has the most recipes, but my first book has recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces!

foodie,
yes, I use sweet rice powder to make porridge for kimchi paste.
hi maangchi,
im so sorry i forgot to ask you if i can use the one i mentioned earlier(sticky flour?) to use it to make kimchi?
thanks inn advance…=)
foodie,
There are 2 kinds of rice flour powder: sweet rice flour and plain rice flour. It depends on what kind of rice cake you make. For example, of my recipes, to make songpyeon, you will need plain rice flour (short grain rice), but if you make gyungdan, you will need sweet rice flour which is stickier than plain rice flour.
hi maangchi, i bought sticky flour because the vendor told me it is used for making rice cake….can i used it? is it the same as sweet rice flour?
anria,
I think so. Glutinous rice powder is sweet rice powder.
Good luck with your rice cake!
hey maangchi i realy want to make rice cake can i make rice cake with thai glutinous rice powder
Hi Deborah,
What is the purpose of using glutinuous rice flour in making kimchi? Thanks!
nina,
I don’t think so, please ask your question on the Forum. I’m not familiar with tapioca powder. Someone else may give you good answer.
I was wondering if i can use tapioca flour instead of sweet rice flour?? thank you!
Alexa,
No, mochico powder is sweet rice powder (glutinous rice powder). It’s too sticky to make songpyeon shape.
I love this site, I’m so glad I found it! Thanks for posting all these recipes.
I was wondering: Can I use Mochiko to make Songpyeon? Or does Songpyeon use a different kind of flour? Does it need to bre frozen?
Thank you again so much!
Alexa

Jen,
Glutinous flour is sweet rice powder! You can use it to make porridge. You could use even plain flour if you don’t have glutinous flour.
Yes, you can use Japanese cucumber,too.
I don’t think chili powder could replace with hot pepper flakes. Chili powder has its own strong flavor.
Hi Maangchi,
Can i use glutinous rice flour instead of sweet rice flour to make kimchi?
By the way i couldnt find dill cucumber can i use japanese cucumber?
And is hot pepper flakes same as chili powder?
Hopefully i can make some nice kimchi like yours.
