My second cookbook is now available for sale. The first one was very popular, so I made another with all my recipes from the last year. You can download the .pdf e-book for free, or buy a full-color printed one on the Createspace website and on Amazon.com. I also made a book that contains books […]
I went to Chinatown this afternoon. It was a very exciting and pleasant visit as usual. I bought these items. Chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, air vacuumed sticky corn, green onions, Asian chives (buchu) shrimp, thin noodles, Chinese black bean sauce, a can of bamboo shoots, and fresh pork belly! And a dozen live blue crabs! I […]
I made this sushi using the fish on the left (forgot the name but it’s pickled and tastes is like mackerel), avocado, seasoned and cooked eel, seaweed (kim: nori). I bought these fish at a Japanese grocery store. On the lettuce, the red stuff is a pickle that I made with beets. Its actual color […]
I was interviewed a few days ago by Ms. Jinhwa Jo (조진화) who is working for Korea Joongang Daily News in New York. She let me know the article is already on today! You may not understand what it says because it’s written in Korean. It’s all good things about me! Check out my face! […]
Hi, Everybody, I think I should let you know that I updated my jjajangmyun recipe. I made my jjajangmyeon by following my own recipe a few days ago because a few people pointed out their jjajangmyeon turned out too bland. I exactly followed the measurements in the recipe and found out some were wrong! I […]
I was so happy to find this store yesterday. It’s at 91 Mulberry St in Chinatown. The closest subway is Canal St. I saw many Korean ingredients (hot pepper powder, paste, seaplant.. etc) sold at a cheap price. They even have the short grain rice that I eat! I bought some dried noodles and Chinese […]

I went to Lower East Side Pickle Festival a while ago. People brought their homemade pickles made with so many different kinds of vegetables. It was a hot steamy day, but the tasting of the free sample pickles was enjoyable. Some pickles were not well made, so its taste was kind of soggy. Pickles should […]
Last Friday I went to Hagi sake bar which is located on 152 West 49 street Manhattan, NYC. They serve beautiful and delicious food along with sake. We had to wait for 1 hour to get seats! It was full of customers, most of them Asian. Here is what I had: They serve sake in […]
Hi everyone! I made a new discussion forum for my website here: https://www.maangchi.com/talk/ When I first started making Korean cooking videos on YouTube, I was really interested in helping people learn how to cook Korean food. But YouTube comments are so short, so I made a blog to keep in contact with viewers. Then I […]
My friend visiting me from Toronto loves spicy Korean food, so I made this dish along with other side dishes. You can use my “stir fried squid side dish” recipe to make this. I used baby octopus instead of squid.
This Rosario’s place, located in lower east side, serves quite a good pizza. I’m not a big fan of pizza, but since I tasted this pizza last winter when I came to New York to travel, it has been my favorite pizza place. A week ago, I visited there and ordered this spinach pizza. And […]
I made some changes to my website this week. I wanted to be able to add more categories easily, and so I moved everything from Blogger to WordPress. I also started a new kitchenware section and maybe I will add more sections now that it is easier to do. I also divided the blog section […]

I met my blog readers on Saturday afternoon, July 26. All eight members got together and had a great picnic. I was surprised that they recognized my face quickly. “Hey, Maangchi!” that’s the first sentence when they saw me. I took off my sunglasses to show my face so that they could find me easily. […]
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
