Hi Maangchi! I love your website!!
I’m just wondering if you knew the recipe for making a side dish that I see a lot in Korean restaurants. The side dish is cucumbers and it’s sweet and also has red spicy sauce. I think it’s with vinegar and sugar. I keep trying to find the recipe online but I only find the recipe for KIMCHI CUCUMBER, which is NOT the same.
Also, I love the fishcake that they often serve with the above mentioned side dish. Do you have any recipes for those? Thank you!!! keep up the great work!
thank you very and god bless u ;)
Allo allo Myla!
You can use either white vinegar or apple vinegar. I love the flavor of apple vinegar.
Hi, thanks for the recipe, but can i use a white vinegar or just an apple vinegar?
Jennifer,
oh, interesting! yeah, we always see similar food between different cultures. Thanks!
Maangchi,
This reminds me of my moms cooking, there’s a thai salad called ” Som tum taeng” using cucumbers it’s the same way to make “oi neanggkok” but you shred the cucumbers and don’t add water or ice cubes.
Cloud,
You remind me of one of my blog readers. She said she has changed her diet to Korean food since she found my cooking videos on the internet and lost 75 pounds! I didn’t ask her weight though. : ) Anyway, you asked me to recommend healthy and low cal dish. Why don’t you make seaplant soup (miyuk guk in Korean ) My mother loves the soup. She makes it at least twice a week!
Wow, will try this next time :D Sounds like a low-cal dish, haha. Maangchi, could you recommend me some low-cal dishes I could cook during a diet? I just got interested in Korean cooking, but I really need to lose some weight -_- 제발요~
haha, you got some engergy! : )
I just made some and ate it.. I used following this recipe. I left over cucember from a salad I made that I didn’t use. I feel like I have energy from eating it lol My only thing s I forgot to put salt. But it was good! had some thai chili peppers so I used those in the soup too.
I will definitely get the right peppers next time. Thanks for the recipe, Maangchi!
En,
As long as you emptied it all, who would care! : ) But next time you should try to follow the recipe exactly.
You will see the difference.
I made this in a bad mood today – and now I’m in a good mood! Unfortunately, I was in a pinch. I had to substitute the hot red pepper with red pepper flakes and the green pepper with a couple of chopped green olives. It ended up tasting like olives ^_^ Not bad, overall~~ At least it looked okay!
…and no one can tell now that I’ve ate it all *ha!ha!*
I promise I’ll try this with eggplant some time.
As long as it is made with fresh, good quality ingredients and proper cooking methods, it is gourmet food to me! And most of all, made with love!!!
Thats soo true!
