hi Maangchi,
Can you please make Raw Squid Salad next time?
OH MY GOSH you were in Puerto Escondido?! I was there last month and I fell in love. Is this Playa Angelito? I remember I had a lot of seafood there and since I lived in South Korea, I miss good, fresh seafood. (I live in Chicago now) but thanks for the video! I just need to find some fresh raw fish somehow…
How did you like Puerto Escondido? Did everyone think you were Japanese? That happened to me a couple of times.
Hihi! My friend and I will be traveling to Seoul and Jeju this November. Since we’ll be staying in homestays, I am wondering if I can pay back such generosity with some local Malaysian cooking. I intend to use Spanish Mackerel to make some fish cake yong tou foo style for repay my hosts. Do you mind if I ask what Spanish Mackerel is called in Korean? I intend to leave ‘Ahjumma’ out of my brains altogether and just go with “Agasshi, *spanish mackerel’ issoyeo?”
Thank you for your great great tips!
Hai Maangchi,
can I use hairtail fish?
yes you can. yummy!
i love food!!!
im glad i found ur website.
Who’s the photographer of your food? This recipe and photos look very inviting! We lost our docks in the harbor during the recent Tsunami (March 11, 2011) so there will be no more fresh fish at the docks. However, I think I’m going to entice my husband with lots of Mandu so he will go fishing and catch fresh fish to make this particular recipe. ;)
It must be a treat to have tourists try your recipes? LUCKY TOURISTS! :)
Your husband must be a big fan of your mandu! I’m looking forward to your mulhoe feedback. I take my food photos.
Maangchi!
I used to travel in Mexico alot with my family!! You make me miss it- now I want to go to Puerto Escondido!
I noticed you used fresh lettuce and tomatoes and the water from the faucet. Is it considered safe to use the water and produce in Mexico now? Sometimes we used to get sooo sick from the water being contaminated.
You are so adventuresome Maangchi. I love it!
P.S. My 6 year old daughter thinks you like a teen ager- ha!ha!
“Is it considered safe to use the water and produce in Mexico now?..” Maybe I was lucky? I had no problem with the water. I always drink bottled water when I travel.
“My 6 year old daughter thinks you like a teen ager” lol, thanks!
Oh Maangchi!! :D This trip to Mexico was AWE-SOME right? :D I can see that you had sooo much fun :) I wish I was with you :D sorry if my english is bad today I got a very hard Work ;) .
I will do this recipe with my Honey ^^ he is impressed about you and your cooking skill with fish! :D
You`re such a good person :) .
Hugs and greetz from germany :))
Thank you Chris! I hope your mulhoe turns out very delicious!
I can’t wait to try this! I think it is very interesting that this recipe uses lettuce which is also used in hoedupbap (my most favorite Korean dinner).
yummy yummy! ^^
Wow, now that looks like Korean gazpacho!
Thank you for your videos!
yeah, you are right. Korean style gazpacho with raw fish! : )
Give me fresh fish ANYTIME of the day! That looks SUPER YUMILICIOUS!!!!! What can be better than cold, spicy, fish soup on a hot humid day!??!!!
