You can get the basics of Korean spices and pastes on Amazon and even some noodles and other Korean dry goods. The basics include hot pepper flakes or powder (I buy the coarse powder variety that look more like flakes), hot or red pepper paste, soybean paste and black bean paste. With those you can make many of Maangchi’s non-seafood meals and side dishes. Just look at her videos. You can look for more ingredients on the Cooking and Shopping tabs at the top of the page.
