Delicious! I first had this when I was in Hawaii and couldn’t stop eating it! Now I know how to make it…I am so happy! Thank youuuuuu!
haha, couldn’t stop eating it? Cute!! You must like healthy food. yum!
I could not find a package that had the word “miyeok” on it at my Korean market, so hope that “salted seaplant stems” is close enough. I will try this tonight, and let you know. Part of the fun of cooking from your recipes lies in exploring the markets.
yes, this is the photo of miyeok julgi. https://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/miyeok-julgi I hope yours turned out delicious.
Maangchi – your little blooper at the beginning was very funny and nice to see. You should make a video of bloopers – it would be so much fun for all your fans! :)
Yum! I found some miyuk in the fridge today and told my husband that I would try making this dish. (He has always made it in the past.) Everyone loved it and my husband asked me how I made it about 3 times…I think he was taking mental notes. I’d better be careful because I don’t think that he is going to cook much at all if I keep serving him better versions of the foods he usually makes. ;)
Hi Maangchi,
Can we store this banchan in the fridge and for how long?
Thanks
Yes, you can keep this in the fridge for 3-4 days.
kamsahamnida seonsaengnim,,or can i call you unnie,,I i ate this food last july in a korean restaurant, well it was actually the sidedish, our main order was 삼겹살 , seafood pancake, chapchae, bibimbap and bulgogi, since im not really a meat lover i tried eating the bibimbap but i didn’t find it delicious(mat opso) since there was too many rice, and few veggies, then i i saw this side dish at first glance i knew it was seaweed, i tried it and i was like wow, this taste like pork skin( without cholesterol) and i had like 4 servings of it,
thanks now i can make some of this at home
“.. this taste like pork skin( without cholesterol) and i had like 4 servings of it,” haha! Now you know how to make this. Great!
yep yep,,thanks for making this recipe available online,,this and bibimbap is my ultimate diet food..u can eat more and lose more..hehehe,,happy pepero day
Dear Maangchi,
I tried this recipe because you advices me, do you remember?
Check my reply in (Spicy fish soup recipe) to remember :)
I followed your steps and make this nice dish.
I like it, but I added some lemon and ground black pepper.
This is the final dish photo: http://www12.0zz0.com/2010/09/21/02/798080990.jpg
You can upload it to your flickr page.
Now, I planned to try Grilled Mackerel, this kind of fish is popular here in Egypt and all people know it, but I ate it before by different way.
Thanks dear for your effort.
I’m sorry about the late reply. I just see this post now. Please email me the photo at [email protected]
Adding lemon juice sounds very interesting! yummy!
heya thanks for the new video.
i always like the sea.
well anyways could you use this in kimbap?
hmm, for kimbap filling? I have never thought about it! : )
Oh wow good idea! miyeok kimbap is something I will try soon!
love your recipes…:)
Can I make a request?
Could you please do a video for Kalbi tang?
pleaseeeee
:D
thank u
Yes, galbitang is one of my future video recipes. Thank you!
i hope to learn more recipes for vegetable side dishes / fish or seafoods recipes / and any kinds of soups, so that i can really do my duties in cooking a korean food for my korean husband……
by the way, i want to know how to cook the daktoritang….pls. help me…hope to see it here next time…… thanks a lot and i love this site so much….
thanks! dakdoritang (or dakbokkeumtang) recipe will be posted in the future. Not next time though. : ) Thank you very much for your interest in my recipes.
hmmm, i was so glad to knew this site…. it’s really helpful to those people who really likes cooking and mostly to those people whose married to a korean man/woman like me…..
To bad Pakistan now blocks YT. Guess I have to wait until I go back to Dubai to watch.
oh, you are still in Pakitan! Keep updating what you eat or see there if you can. Take care!
That looks really tasty, Mangchi. And I like your laugh at the beginning of the video. ^__^
hoho, you caught it! : ) I know you will like this side dish!
HI Maangchi, thanks for the new recipie, I’m so happy your’e doing something with sea weeds!!
Can I use dried wakame for this recipie, or does it have to be the salted type? I’ve only seen dried wakame here in Denmark, and never the one you used. Thanks in advance!
hmm, I would make salads with miyeok, but it’s up to you.
If you make it, let me know how it turns out.
Even though miyeok stems are mixed with salt, it won’t be salty at all if you follow the direction.
My miyeok salads (called miyeok muchim) recipe is here:
https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/miyuk-guk
I loooove all things “sea plant” (like miyuk, kim and dashima) and always saw this in the freezer section at the store and wished I knew how to make it….and now I do! Kamsahamnida, Maangchi unnie! ^^
You love healthful food! Good for you!
