Hello! I really love your videos and I was hoping you’ll make some dolsot bibimbap and make videos on how to make side dishes (my favorite is the small potatoes with sweet sauce)
Thanks!
hi,agasuka,
I use apple vinegar to make sauce for kimbab.
Maangchi,
Thank you so much for the video.
I made the tuna kimbap for supper tonight.
It is very tasty.
May I suggest that an extra lamp/ light to be place at front during the making of your videos so that the objects will be clearer to the audiance?
The cooked tuna reminds me of the chinese ‘pork sung’ which usually serve with rice porridge. I think the tuna will be great as a side dish alone if the amount of soy sauce to be reduced to 1 tbs. I use the rice vinegar which you mentioned. I am not brave enough to use the Korean apple vinegar yet.

I’m in the US. I had a shopping spree at the international market last weekend. The squid is the packaged dry variety but sauteed in soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and pepper flakes. It’s chewy, sweet and spicy. So good! Thanks for dropping by.
hello,James,
I checked out your blog and saw your pictures displaying making kimbab. Wonderful!
You must be getting korean ingredients easily. Where are you living now?
hi maangchi, it’s me james(himasf).
I made 김밥 today. I couldn’t decide so I made 1 kimchee, 1 tuna, and 1 spicy cuttlefish. They’re all delicious! Thanks!
p.s. I posted a picture of me making them.

Hello Maangchi, I bought a bottle of Sa Gwa Cho/ Korean Apple Vinegr yesterday.
Can I use it for the kimbap sauce?
What can I do with it other than making salad?
Hi,patricia,
My next one will be Ddeukbokkie(hot and spicy rice cake).
I learned the recipe from an old lady selling her ddeukbokkie in a big market in Seoul. She was using very simple method.
Traditional way of making ddeubokki was made without using hot pepper paste. But I prefer hot and spicy ddeuk bok kie. : )
Thank you for the recipes. Can you do Tteokbokki sometime? -patricia
Andreas,
hehe, yeah,kimchi kimbab will be tasty as long as you like kimchi. : )
Thank you paul.
You must love sesame leaves(Kkaen nip) dish!
ok, sure I will put your request in my cooking video list.
Where do you live in France? I went to Paris February this year.
Hi, your videos are GREAT and very useful. I’m a korean born in France and i love korean food. Do you know how to prepare Kean-Nip (a sort of kimchi with Sesame leaves) ? Can you show it by video ?
Thank you for all these cooking videos !
Paul
