Reply To: shrimp paste

Hi Robote,

I don’t know about the shrimp-paste, but the fish-sauce is basically the same; the saltiness may vary.

In my experience (about 15 years now), you may skip the salted shrimps (they are often out of stock during kimchi-making seasons ;-)) and use more fish-sauce; both Korean and Thai work nicely.

You may order your stuff online, I found two shops in the UK:
http://www.koreafoodsmitcham.co.uk (horrendous shipping-fees!),
and
https://www.orientalmart.co.uk

I don’t know them, but worth a try for you maybe?

Bye, Sanne.
