Looks delicious Maangchi! I will try to make this with rice flour or cornstarch as I cook for someone who cannot eat wheat flour. Any suggestions welcome!
Hi, Mam Maangchi,
I am very impressed about your cooking, especially Seafoods, Pancakes and Permented veggies like Kimchi, actually I love them all your recipes… I very Proud of you! Can I have a favor to ask, because I really Loved Korean foods and TV intertainment and dramas, how about if you give as Korean to English name your menus or recipes. Just like Saeo- Shrimp, jeon- pancake, Wow…next time I will a picture the one I will cook from your recipes. Thank you so mam Maangchi and God bless you more.
Hi Maangchi!! I always try your recipes and they always end up so delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us :))
I have a question too. Can I use smaller shrimps and just make them like a batter to stick together and make the pancakes for this recipe? Would it still work? Or does it have to be bigger ones?
Yes, you can make delicious shrimp pancakes with small shrimp. Chop them up and mix with batter.
Thank you Maangchi!!
Hi Maangchi,
Started following your channel since last year and I love your videos a lot! Your video has been a great inspiration for me to cook and taste Korea food especially for people living in other countries where it hard to find nice Korean food. But with your video, I can recreate them easily at home. I tried making Korean food for my parents and friends and they really like it! Now I am constantly cooking dinner for my parents with some of your recipe!!! And I thought I couldn’t get your cooking book in Singapore! But luckily I found them and it was the last piece. I know they are going to stock up the book, but I have to get them asap because I couldn’t wait any longer!
I’m happy to hear that you found the book in Singapore! “with your video, I can recreate them easily at home…” You must be a great cook!
Hi, i was just wondering where you got that basket from?
ive been looking for one for vegetables and i havent been able to find one.
oh, you like the basket! I bought it in a market in Korea. Check out a large Korean grocery store, please. You may find one.
Hello Maangchi
You did it again, another great recipe!
I just finished eating this and I can only say: fabulous.
I made this with regular mustard powder (becasue thats all I ihad) and I wish I had more shrimps. It tasted so great. And it is so easy and fast to make. I just have to practise the butterfly cut :-). Is there is a difference between Korean and regular mustard powder?
See full size image
Yours looks fabulous! Yes, Korean mustard powder gives it a tingling spicy feeling, more than usual mustard.
Hi Maangchi! I am living in Seoul now, and at this season there are so many stands selling cases and cases of 매실. Could you post a recipe of making 매실주 and 매실 extract? I now can only buy made ones from the traditional market. Thank you!
OMG these look out of this world! I must try it!!!
Hi, it’s my first time to meet you online.
I met your food online a few days ago and I got to love your cooking.
After that time, i watch your videos every single day.
I like your recipe and would like to follow all your way.
I have a question.
Where did you buy your cutting board, I love it , so I want to buy one like yours as much as I can.
Hi, Nice meeting you here on my website! I have several cutting boards but 3 of them (thick ones) are from Brooklyn Butcher Blocks.
Maangchi, this looks amazing! I’m super excited to make this for a dinner party next week. :) Thanks so much, your recipes mean the world to me :)
Let me know how it turns out. One tip is to use heirloom eggs with dark yellow egg yolks.
Ooh what a fantastic idea to use heirloom eggs! That’ll make the shrimp a beautiful orange yellow – even more appetizing. I’ll definitely do that – thanks so much for the tip! :)
