It goes to show she is not driven by money/profit but she has genuine love for Korean food and she wants everyone/anyone to know. She is like a Korean Julia Childs.

      근데 조금 잘못된 정보나
      선정시 고려할 진짜 중요한 정보는 전달하지 못하셨네요.
      비난이 아니라 제가 아는 정보를 조금 나누고자 합니다.
      한가지만 말씀드리면,
      고추가루는 가늘게 빻을수록 밝아지는것이기에 색이 진하면 더 굵은 입자라고 볼수있습니다.
      똑같은 고추를 갈아도 간 정도에 따라 밝기가 달라지므로 말씀하신것은 잘못된 정보입니다.
      김치 담그는 용인지, 그냥 평소에 사용하는것인지 등등에 따라 입자의 크기를 다르게해서 판매합니다.
      입자가 틀린걸 사용하면 최고의 맛을 내기는 어렵고요.
      고추장도 말씀해주신 내용보다 성분 함량등을 보고 선택해야하는데 글이 길어져서 힘이 드니 한번 알아보시면 좋겠어요.
      좀 아쉬운 내용들이라 좋아요 하지 못해 죄송합니다.

    This is so helpful. I can read hangul better now, but the reason this is really helpful is because culturally I don’t know the variety of reasons korean ingredients are sold for, like cutting down time versus improving flavor or lowering cost. So i can much better understand what I’m looking at now. Thank you Maangchi!!

    I'm a Korean who living in Dublin, and It's so impressive there is BIG Korean market in the U.S.! In Dublin we have only small market. Even it's smaller than any convenience store in Korea. I don't have much options to choose. 아무튼 사랑해요 망치아줌마!!!!!

      I live in the USA and I was impressed by how huge the store is. Most like;y it's in a very big city like LA, Chicago, or NYC. Most Asian grocery stores in the USA just has a Korean section. And the aisles are rarely that wide. It's usually in larger cities (Over 100,000 people.) that you see specific Korean (Or any other country.) grocery stores. Although you will see Vietnamese groceries is a lot of small towns since so many Vietnamese refugees were settled in small towns throughout the USA.

    Aaaah why did I just see this now. I am always clueless when buying in Korean grocery. I can read Korean a bit but I'm still confused on which brand or which product is used for which recipe. I usually just end up buying things I don't need like BTS beverages or snacks they've eaten lol 😅 Thank you for this series!!! I will add this to my favorites so I can go back whenever I need to.

    Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to shop with us! Even though I've taught myself how to read the Korean Hangul (which REALLY helps when you're shopping) I wasn't always sure what the differences were between the varieties of soy sauces, pastes and spices. Google Translate partially did the job but going through the specifics with you in this video is way better and it has clarified a lot of the questions that I had in mind. This is now my go-to video the next time I need to remind myself of what to get.
    There are several Korean grocery stores fortunately dotted around my city, but not as MASSIVE as the ones you have in the States! If we have a serious store like that here I probably won't be getting out anytime soon. :)

    Maangchi sometimes I see that you use different containers to store items like soy sauce, hot pepper flakes, sesame oil, sesame seeds, kimchi, and all that stuff, so I know there are a lot of items and spices but I would like to know if you can make a video to show us what type of containers we can use for some of this items, how and where to store them and for how long?
    This videos are so helpful, thanks!

    • @Qattube
      @Qattube 6 лет назад +5

      Jorge Perales I think you might find more info on her blog. Also most of the time she usually mentions where she stores it when she makes certain things. For dry spices, like pepper flakes and roasted seaweed, she usually puts it in the freezer in a sealed or knotted bag to keep it fresh, and I think for fermented sauces like doenjang and the like she just keeps it in a container with a plastic film touching the surface and store it in a fridge. But that's what I kind of gleaned from all the videos I watched.

Foreign gricery stores are fascinating to me as I come from growing up in Japan, Spain, Italy, Portugal LOVE LOVE foods from those countries ! Now I want to learn Korean food❣️❣️🙏🙏and I love all those countries and its language and living styles!! PLEASE keep these videos coming ❣️❣️❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏

    Rice syrup can be used for any recipe that needs corn syrup. I use it for pecan pie. I find that Red Boat makes the best anchovy-based fish sauce. Kadoya is a superior sesame oil. I buy that one all the time. Thanks for the tip about yuja. I will seek that out next time.
