Kimchi

[Muggobeano]

Its it okay if my kimchi paste has bits of garlic.

[cartoonfan496]

I love kimchi and great video

[fresno559omega]

that wasnt two hours it was only 10min and 52sec..lol. looks very good

[delightracardeanne]

I made a very big batch of this kimchi, it filled a giant jar plus 5 regular sized jars. It is so good, I doubt it'll last me more than a month or two! Amazing recipe, thank you for your help, Maangchi! I'm a kimchi addict!

[Maangchi]

@delightracardeanne yay! from now on you can make your kimchi anytime! yummy, When it ferments, make kimchi pancake, kimchi stew, kimchi stir-fried rice, kimchi soup...

[jonyjungs]

so great... your video!! ^^ so lovely!! wow Korean!!!

[2ne1BoMmIEYoSeOb3]

thanx, i luv ur videos ^___^

i was just wondering, what the measurements would be if i just used 1 chinese cabbage instead...

[MickeyLS]

the 2.5 cups of hot pepper flakes, does that include all the spices? if so, where can i find bags of spice that size?

[Maangchi]

@MickeyLS Please check out the recipe on my website if you like to make your own kimchi. All info is posted including ingredients photo and tips.

[piperjohn3]

Had to work all weekend when I planned to make kimchi. Discovered express subway from work to Chinatown to buy Napa and express bus back to crib.

Made my third batch of this recipe tonight on a weeknight and just finished cleaning up. What a great feeling. Added more ginger this time, but a little worried it will be too tangy in a week. Fresh kimchi is so delicious!

[Maangchi]

@piperjohn3 I know how you feel. You love fresh kimchi! So do I! : ) Happy cooking!

[Lamturnik]

I just ate your kimchi!! It was so delicious - you don't want to stop eating!

Guess how I ate it: with steamed rice, pickled fish and your barbeque beef video. (( :

Maangchi, thank you for sharing generations of wisdom with us!

[Maangchi]

@Lamturnik ooh yummy!

[edithlefebvree]

Aww! Samulnori!! I love it! jaja

[xkawaiihime4ux]

There's this other lady who made same kind of quick bite sized kimchi and she uses apple and apple pear in her recipe. Is that part of the original kimchi or is yours the original?

[fweshful]

oh maangchi i love kimchi a lot but my recipe didnt work out so fine......i just made a kimchi ryt now but it seems not good enough



[artisticgalacticgyal]

how long can the kimchi stay refrigerated since it has raw squid it in? Im in the kitchen as I type to find out before I add the squid..thank u..I love ur recipes

[Kpopfanatic05]

I bought some Kimchi from a Korean market a few months ago. After I ate some of it I put the rest in the refrigerator. I was wondering if it is still good to eat or if I should just throw it out? How long can you keep kimchi in the fridge? How can you tell when it's spoiled or gone bad? @Maangchi please respond!

[Maangchi]

@Kpopfanatic05 You can eat it. The kimchi is being fermented in the fridge. If you see some white stuff (mold) on top of the kimchi, remove only the top part and you still can eat it.

[Kpopfanatic05]

@Maangchi ok thank you so much for your fast reply!

[TubeGuest5178]

Have you noticed how Asians are very generous with oils, salt and sugar however they are rarely if ever OVERWEIGHT. Nor do they suffer with the maladies of diabetes or high blood pressure. We can learn from them!

[TubeGuest5178]

she left the amount of pepper flakes up to me....ok 2 teaspoons of pepper flakes for 10lbs of cabbage..lol

[cungiunim]

How spicy is it ? Does somebody know? Its lot of chilli there...plus ginger. I guess 1/4 cup of chilli would be enough for me :)))...maybe just a powder lol.

[TheCrazykpopfan]

I have got no crushed chilli flake. Can I use hot pepper paste. It still taste the same right?

[foodofkorea]

@TheCrazykpopfan no it will not taste the same. hot pepper flakes are dried and paste is a paste. haha. please try to obtain the hot pepper flakes - you can buy them online as well. it is the most crucial ingredient~

[TheCrazykpopfan]

@foodofkorea thankyou !

[delightracardeanne]

Just curious, how does it store with the squid/oysters? Won't it go bad? Just wondering, because it's seafood, and I wouldn't want to get sick. I LOVE kimchi, I have to make this! :-)

[foodofkorea]

@delightracardeanne it wont go bad because of all the salt. :)

[spygirl96race13]

THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VID! Its so clear and easy to follow, cuz i've nvr made kimchi before!!!

[TheKabukicheriichan]

Maangchi, since you live in NY, head to Chelsea Market. It's a huge place where they sell all kinds of things, and I'm sure you're to find that giant basin you're looking for!

[kimkaouthar]

Ok then i will try with soy sauce thank you

[kimkaouthar]

i forgot to ask you plz ... in my country there is no sauce fish :( it there is something I can replace it with ??

[Maangchi]

@kimkaouthar fish sauce is sold at any Asian store. If it's not available, use soy sauce.

[kimkaouthar]

thank you so much you are really the best :) gomapseumnida

[nan2845]

maanchi i love you

[AprilFool369]

why do we nd the sweet rice flour?

[XKeelyX]

Sorry if this is an annoying question... but how much of everything would I need if I just used one napa cabbage? I live by myself, and I've never had kimchi before, so I don't want to make 10 pounds of it if I end up not liking it :S

[Maangchi]

@XKeelyX no problem. Please check out my "emergency kimchi" recipe. It's for smaller amount of cabbage. Good luck with making good kimchi.

[HealthDiets]

@Maangchi Love recipes Thanks :) what type of salt is used for kimchi? korean bamboo salt? kosher seasalt?

[sirikanya24]

I made my 1st Kimchi today, following your recipes and it comes out so YUMMY! Thank you so much, Madam Maangchi! xx

[Maangchi]

@sirikanya24 omg, I'm happy to hear that!

[beautifulkoreansea]

Hello, Maangchi 씨. I have a question about storing kimchi, please help me out with it. Whenever i make kimchi and store it in a plastic box or jar, and put it in the fridge, it creates mold on the surface in a week or two. I just cant figure out what i am doing wrong, since usually kimchi can be stored for quite a long time. 곧 다시 김치 만들고 싶어서, 좀 도와주시겠으면 좋겠습니다. 미리 고맙습니다. 

[Maangchi]

@beautifulkoreansea We have already talked about this topic. Please check out the forum (general discussion) on my website. Type"how long can I keep kimchi?" in search box. 

[raccoonlovethomas]

I have seen some recipe used apples and pears as ingredients of kimchi. But I don't really know if the traditional Korean would use them or not. I doubt the apples and pears are for the sweet flavor and help the fermentation. :))))

[VaniilaCake]

That is a lot of cabbage. xD

[TheLegendOfZeldaFan9]

i wonder why so many people are disliking this :(. I mean these videos take alot of time to make and they are fun to watch.

[DarkChibiShadow1]

watching your videos always make me so hungry!

[reesescupbrandy1]

I have yet to see what it taste like. Is it spicy?

[sammyzweird]

Hi Maangchi,

I have a question. So I made some mak kimchi following the recipe from this video and I let the kimchi sit out for about 72hrs. However, it's not getting the pure sourness taste that I want. Instead, I'm getting this really acidic taste from it. What does that mean? How much longer should I let it sit or did it sit out for too long already? PLEASE HELP! =/

[jem06heartilly]

wow looks delicious!!! i love korean foods :) im going to make this... thank you so much for your recipe... love you Maangchi!!!

[daveh013]

My friend's ohma use to make me all these dishes. I'm sorry watching your clips that I moved away from them.

Korean food is amazing.

[naomiCENSOREDv2]

Maangchi, I want to thank you for providing a way for a simple Jewish girl from Canada to enjoy delicious Korean food! I followed your recipe carefully and made my own Kimchi a couple of days ago, using all Kosher ingredients and methods. I made it way too spicy (>.<) , but aside from that it's delicious! Thanks for inspiring me to finally learn to cook, and for making Korean cuisine available to me for the first time. Can't wait to make more food using your recipes!

[Maangchi]

@naomiCENSOREDv2 wow, great news! Cheers! : )

[redd1001]

i see ur hands and fingers the way they move together

i guess and no doubt cooking is your passion and art

its a goodluck to have someone like you in kitchen :))

[WhatMyNameIsThy]

I have a fish allergy, can I make it without the fish sauce?

[LittoBUbbo]

lol I remember the first time I ate kimchi. It was so disgusting. But now I love it.. ( after I tried a restaurants and not my own)

[SuperHyuki]

thank youuuu :))))

[piperjohn3]

I'm completely out of this after just over 2 weeks. So good! Had to buy some more from the Korean store until I can make more this weekend. The store bought is not nearly as good--and so expensive. I am a kimchi addict now. And noticeably skinnier.

[Maangchi]

@piperjohn3 ow ow, it sounds like you are going to keep making your homemade kimchi! Great!

[omgiitsmai]

Does kimchi have to stay in the fridge or can it be outside? Like if you don't have a fridge :P

[thesporeshow]

I made this with my mom, because some friends from Korea came to visit.

They loved it, it turned out great!

Gamsahabnida :)

[JenniferVillanueva69]

Hi, Maangchi I love your cooking style. Thumbs up!

[zero52one]

can we use pickled radish..

[Yummy907]

it's raw squid right? :S

[xickin]

Can you use some sort of substitute for the squid? I might like to make this but my mom is allergic to sea food

[piperjohn3]

Made this last Sunday after schlepping back 15lbs of amazingly fresh big napa cabbages back from Deluxe Food Mart on Elizabeth (NYC). Good exercise!

Very, very tasty. I skipped the squid because I didn't want to use frozen and then salt.

Such a good feeling to have almost a month's supply of fine homemade kimchi stashed in my fridge. The more I eat, the more I like eating.

A great first try here. Will change a few things next time maybe, but very happy. I love chopping cabbage with good knife

[jlauralee]

This was.... EPIC X-O

[thebackpacker9]

I am Indian, lived in china for 5 years and me and my mates always used to go to korean restaurants as i live in northeast of china,mainly north korean restaurants in the famous korean street.we loved the food there,especially korean bbq,kimchi,radish kimchi and a lot of south korean beer(haishi) if i remember good and soju.Kimchi is awesome with korean rice wine,as soju is sweet still salty kimchi was good with it.i miss the kimchi and saw your video and i will try to make it today.thank you!!!

[Maangchi]

[CuteBirdie11]

[CuteBirdie11]

[MsEtoile16]

[selmatheking1]

[GK007001]

Hello der,

Has anybody tried this, if so can you pls let me know.

[TehTr0nik]

[21forever21]

[fjordking]

how long does it last in the fridge

[plzbemygirl]

@maangchi oh dear,.. when you ate the squid i went like OO!!!...

[Kaitlynsveggiecorner]

It was nice that she mentioned about vegetarians

[luckydesu]

Would it taste the same without rice flour porridge?

[ChocoXKiwi]

can i use regular rice flour?

because i only have rice flour and gluttounus rice flour :(

[Maangchi]

@ChocoXKiwi yes, use glutinous rice flour.

[cellcat]

Is it still considered kimchee if there is no fish sauce in it? I don't like fish sauce at all. Also, what should I substitute for the fish sauce?

Is kimchee a side to go with the meal?

[joshanator1]

I am dying to make this but I'd like to try it first to see if it's something I would enjoy.

[yasmincoolnes]

[sara46762]

[littlexuaniie]

[isoluvmylife]

hey maangchi, i made some kimchi the other day nd i check it out nd it looks fermented but what concerns me is that garlic and onion taste, when the kimchi has it's time of fermentation does those garlic and onion taste suppose to be still there??? please reply i need to know >.<

[isoluvmylife]

i want to make these with just one cabbage, can u please tell me the exact amount of the ingredient i should put.

[isoluvmylife]

awesome recipe, i'm going to try it out!! :D

[Muggobeano]

after i make kimchee and store it in a room, can i leave it to ferment for atleast 3 months? It would mold or anything rite?

[Maangchi]

@Muggobeano no, keep it in the fridge.

[MrRjay2012]

Can I add kimchi juice from the previous kimchi batch into the kimchi paste?

[HollyL74]

Yipee Maangchi's video has taught me how to make Kimchi!!! Kimchi is considered one of the 5 most healthiest foods in the world!

[karurosu7]

maangchi Gracias! thank you, I`ve just finished my kimchi with your recipe, my family loved it! greetings from mexico!

[1998shasha]

Yess!! Thnx a lot maangchi! I just made it. Two days a go and i tasted today, big suksess

[kihribaprac]

:( it's so sad that here in Puerto Rico I Can't Find Hot Pepper Flakes

[cheekymafia]

@kihribaprac owh.. i asked one of my korean friend bout this too... you can also use the chilli powder or just the blended chillies...

[ILUVMAHBABIeZ]

Can i half the recipe with 5 lbs of cabbage?

[kokla235]

thank you.... i love your recipes and your so fun to watch cooking... your energetic and sweet .

thank you

[Chauzard]

you're spicy too ;) lol anyway I should try this tmr or someday

[kokla235]

can we use regular cabbage instead of nappa cabbage?

[Maangchi]

@kokla235 yes, check out my emergency kimchi recipe. I use regular cabbage in the video. 

[MissMaggieLicious]

@kokla235 No they are very different taste! regular cabbage is harder and not soaking the spicy sauce. but napa cabbage will soak the sauce and they are thicker too! So they are different. just use napa cabbage for kimchi =D taste better

[501chuly]

can I use any fish the one you use i can't find in my supermarket ?

[501chuly]

thank you mamma maangchi i really what to do it now thank you again ^_^

[kwonsunhee]

[peggyli76]

i made a smaller batch just now, it was delicious! I can't wait until it ferments for a couple of days and see how it tastes then <3

[RubenViz]

I Have a question, i dont know much about Kimchi, but this is FULLY KOREAN kimichi? or is like mixed whit other culture, what i wanna say if this is how they make it in korea?.

[xChocoChan]

@RubenViz This is how they make it in korean. It's a "easier" way of making korean kimchi.

[sharktub]

My wife followed your recipe and it was the best tasting kimchi I ever had. Not only you are a good cook, you are a good teacher too. Keep posting. Love your recipe. You rock!

Thank you!

[bethanyfja]

@Maanchi Hi dear maanchi, can you please tell me with what ( rice, noodles,meat etc) you can eat kimchi and also howlong does it take for the kimchi to be fermented? Thank you!!ByeBye :)

[Laocarabao]

I love Kimchi but it hard to find Kimchi in Laos, I will try to follow your VDO to make my own Kimchi. Thanks for the VDO

[EdmundoMD]

Hello. I'm Filipino and LOVE LOVE LOVE KIMCHI!!!!!!! I finally made it by watching your videos....THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!!

[Maangchi]

@EdmundoMD awesome!

[ohgaryo]

HELLO MAANGCHI..I LOVE YOUR KIMCHI..YOU HAVE EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS..I MAKE A CRAB SALAD,AND I LOVE TO EAT KIMCHI AND THE SALAD TOGETHER. I LIKE YOUR VIDEO...ITS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU MUST READ A BOOK TO GET INSTRUCTIONS..THANK YOU..

[Maangchi]

@ohgaryo Thank you very much! Happy cooking! ^^

[tpnhin]

can i make kimchi without adding garlic and green onion?i can't eat those :(

[MedicTune]

Thank you Maangchi for this recipe.

I made some myself (used 2 heads of nappa cabbage) and halved the whole recipe.

It was very fun to make for both me and my mother.

The only problem we have is that the kimchi isnt very flavorful.

Is there a way to boost the flavor of the kimchi after it has started fermenting without adding more hot pepper flakes? We like our kimchi mild and sour but the kimchi we made tasted like it was watered down and there is a lot of juice at the bottom of the container

[airplaneaholic]

hi maangchi! How do i combine the onion, garlic, and ginger if i don't have a food processor or a blender to mix?

[Maangchi]

@airplaneaholic chop or mince it with a knife.

[vintagewars]

I love you! We have tried to make kimchi for years and failed. NOW however it is as good as any bought kimchi and all thanks to you! We will try more of your food as well! You are fantastic, thanks for sharing your expertice with the rest of us!

[Maangchi]

@vintagewars I love you, too! Happy cooking!

[NetInYoFace]

what kind of knives do you use?

[AngelKell94]

Also i was wondering how long does Kimchi keep. Like how long until it goes bad?

[TheCandygore]

ooo cool :D

[AngelKell94]

Wow thank you heaps i wanted to make Kimchi but never knew how to make it.

Thank you heaps it really helped alot :D <3

[xg3000]

you are the best!

[AsIaODL]

Excellent& Marvelous Vid =)

[bmb007]

Can I add 10 cups of hot pepper flakes in the paste Maangchi??? I LOVE spicy foods alot!

[DistinctiveSound]

3:00 "if you are very something something" what? :o

[Kpop4everxD]

@DistinctiveSound "if you're vegetarian, just skip it ( the fishsauce)" :)

[bob70388]

i love your food.

[bob70388]

I love kimchi, your kimchi looks more delicous

[LooseEndsTiedInKnots]

How long does this amount last you? How often do you make kimchi?

[TheNgocKnock]

[Maangchi]

@TheNgocKnock muwoo or mu

[NunuXSHINee]

YOU LOOK A SWEET LADY :D

[maycomet]

You make everything so easy. Thank you for posting many of your recipes.

[peaches5712]

This recipe was much easier. I will definately do it this way. :-) Thank you again !

[facefacegl]

Kimchi is anticancer food. it is very healthful for our body.

Kimch is the most unique food cuz it is storaged long time to creat very healthy ingredient oxgen- exestence germ.

Oxgen-germ is another biofood like yogurt.

[DevinaKat]

Hi Maangchi,

Its my second time making kimchi i wana add squid...

I have frozen squid...

is it ok to add the squid without fermenting it for a week....

thanks

[Maangchi]

@DevinaKat I would ferment it to make good kimchi.

[DevinaKat]

@Maangchi Thanks for your reply... :)

but i bought all the ingredients....i was thinking to put the squid raw in kimchi and let it ferment with the kimchi...

[Maangchi]

@DevinaKat Go ahead then. : )

[DevinaKat]

@Maangchi Thanks a lot ur the nicest youtuber i know...:)

[sakuramankai94]

Hello Maangchi! I was wondering if you could use soy sauce instead of the fish sauce, or does it have too much of a difference when it comes to taste?? It is really difficult to find fish sauce from where i'm living :s

[adrianschulte1978]

MAANGCHI!! YOU ROCK!!! I love these! Can you make another cabbage kimchi video - except with less? I liked the other one, but it's waaaaay too much for me.

[Maangchi]

@adrianschulte1978 check out my emergency kimchi which is super easy to make. : )

[rosecran17]

Hi Maangchi!,

I made this Today! Very Easy to make and looks and taste delicious!

Thanks

Josh

[Maangchi]

@rosecran17 Great! Thank you for your update!

[RosebonboM]

Hi Maangchi! i'vw wanted to try this kimchi recipe for a long time, but i was scared of not liking it so much and spoiling food! Yesterday i found some already made kimchi at a vietnamese market and decided to buy it!!! It was delicious and i love the fermentation taste of it!!! Thanks to you, i travel with wonderful foods from around the world!!! =3

[Maangchi]

@RosebonboM awesome!

[Maangchi]

@xxxAngelikaxxx You can use flour. Check out the written recipe on my website please.

[rosecran17]

Hi Maangchi, How long did you soak the cabbage for? (it does not say in the instructions)

and do you salt it when it's soaking or do you salt it after it's finished soaking in the water?

Thanks

[terojak]

@rosecran17 you soak it for abt 3-4 hrs and salt it when it's soaking

[sunnayika]

Thanks from Thailand

[livesnake]

I just made this and it is so good and I bet it is better after it ferments some, I did the squid too, and will work on some of the other recipes

[Maangchi]

@livesnake wow, you added squid! When your kimchi ferments, the squid will also ferments. Delicious! If you want to share your kimchi photo with my readers, please upload it on my website! Let's impress many people with your kimchi!

[StaIIHawker]

@Maangchi Can i make the paste without the porridge and keep in the fridge for future use? Bcuz sugar will make it go bad for some time right? So, only maneul, yangpa, ginger, fish sauce n gochugaru?

[christianamagic]

@StaIIHawker Agree with you. I think the porridge is the problem here, I dont think I can find it in my country hehe..

[StaIIHawker]

@Maangchi I made my own batch of kimchi this morning to ur recipe video!! It tastes so awesome!! To actually taste kimchi in India is like heaven!! Btw, i'm Chinese Malaysian studying in India who super-loves Korean food!! ^^ TQ sooo~ much!!

[Maangchi]

@StaIIHawker awesome! Thank you for your update! Congratulations!

[christianamagic]

Hi miss, how long can you keep the kimchi? will it be like other food that turn bad after a few days? thanks

[Maangchi]

@christianamagic You can keep your kimchi in the fridge for a few months. It will ferment. Cheers!

[suprhomre]

I saw your other clip about Kimchi for three years ago and I have made Kimchi on a regular basis now. I just want to say thank you and thank you for this new improve recipe.

From a Swedish food lover. Thank you so much.

[bigagigamigaliga]
