Korean-style Cucumber Pickles (oijangajji)

[delightracardeanne]

Just a question, Maangchi, when you have examples of things you've made a week prior to the recording, do you give the extra as gifts, or do you throw it out? Just curious! I always wonder what chefs do when they have so much! :-)

[typhoidmary34]

Hi Maangchi, is this the same type of pickle that I see made with the long slender korean cucumbers?

[Maangchi]

@typhoidmary34 yes, it is. It's very salty, so you will have to eat with steamed rice. Happy New Year!

[Stephaniebobo]

Hi, Maangchi, I love your recipes always. Would you please tell me what is the purpose of using the apple in it. And if I just eat it after soap it one week, as I not eat spicy, so will it be too salty. Do I need to add sugar? Please teach me if you have time to read this message. Thanks for your recipes before and after and future.

[Maangchi]

@Stephaniebobo I used apple for flavor and sweetness but you can use sugar.

[xenia31479]

Hi maangchi! when i go to the korean restaurant near my neighborhood usually with the kimchi they bring us side dishes..in one of them there is this pickled i guess onion! it's sooooooooo tasty that i want to eat only this haha!

do you know what is called and how can i make it?

thanks :)

[Maangchi]

@xenia31479 Yangpa Jangahjji Yangpa is onion and jangahjji is pickles.

[xenia31479]

@Maangchi

Ah I see. And is it made the same way you make the cucumber pickles as you show us in your video or there is another recipe? ^^

[Maangchi]

@xenia31479 different, the recipe will be posted someday in the futre. Thank you!

[xenia31479]

@Maangchi oh ok~ i can't wait thanks a lot!

[992kirky]

Omg I love you! You made something using all of my fav foods! Pickles, garlic, hot peppers, vinegar and salt!

[econdah]

Your food makes me crazy! It is all so delicious!!

[econdah]

Man, everything she makes is so fantastic!

[sooksavathk]

@Maangchi I went to a Kbbq place today and I ate what I thought was cucumber Kimchi but there was nothing stuffed so i came here and I think it is the

Oijangajji muchim it was sweet slightly salty and not tart at all i loved it i was wondering if it was the same because theirs really looks more like kimchi. Thank you!

[boralady]

ma angchi? after cooling down the cucumber with brine and put it in the jar? should i put it in the fridge? while waiting for 24 hours?

[Maangchi]

@boralady yes, keep it in the fridge. You don't have to wait for 24 hours. Check the recipe on my website, please.

[boralady]

how many days can i keep the pickled cucmber in a fridge maangchi?

[Maangchi]

@boralady until it runs out. You can enjoy your oijangahjji until it's gone. But if you make a lot, I recommend taking care of the salty juice from the jar a couple of times. Take only salty water by using a strainer, and boil and cool it down. Add the salty water to the jar again with the salty cucumbers. Good luck! : )

[boralady]

hope i have a sister like you maangchi!~

[cherd1971]

this looks good i cant wait to try it

[rosered130]

How long can you keep (or preserve) the pickled cucumber in the jar ? The longer you let the cucumbers sits, the more pickled they get right ?

[madefmice]

I made this and actually started eating. Thank you for the recipe!

[babyhomer]

This looks so delicious.  Maangchi, thank you so much for this recipe!

[bearfun12]

Ahn-young Maangchi!!!! you are adorable & so wonderful with all of your cooking tips........ I'm a miguk & my hanguk uma-in-law will be so impressed!!!! 

[Maangchi]

@bearfun12 haha, "my hanguk uma in law" funny expression!

[delphinium87]

@Maangchi

what does it means? "my hanguk uma in law"?

I love ur video..very impressive ^^

[TaTaTew09]

has anyone tried to make this recipe?

[Maangchi]

@TaTaTew09 thank you, yes, many people have sent me photos of their cucumber pickles. Check the recipe on my website, then you will see the photos there.

[TaTaTew09]

maangchi you break my heart when you make these delicious side dishes! i freaking love you :D

[momo4youx3]

I got a question: Why does the cucumber soup have to be so cold? Can we just eat it without it being cold?

[Maangchi]

@momo4youx3 oh, you don't like cold food? You don't have to put ice cubes in it then.

[Heather063]

What! My jaw dropped when I saw how you cored the apples. Why didnt I think of that?

Keep posting videos! I love learning new recipes.

[yosoycocinera]

Muchas Gracias.

Muy interesante!

[ellamachis]

Maangchi you're wonderful! CAn I still eat it after one week or over? I MEAN THE cucumber

[Totalknee]

Maangchi you're my hero!!!

[Maangchi]

@Totalknee yay! Thank you! : )

[YenSturr]

can you use this brine for other vegetables?

[Maangchi]

@YenSturr yes,you can use other vegetables such as radish or green chili peppers. Check broccoli pickles recipe on my website, too.

[YenSturr]

ohh thank you very much.

[Suki314]

Oh man some times i dont know what to cook i just wished if there was a 1-800-maangchi

[Maangchi]

[FCK27]

Yes i know it would be great!

[Korea4Me]

I agree!

[youriahh]

hi maangchi.

is there a specific reason why you put apples in the brine? thanks!

[Maangchi]

Instead of using sugar, I used apples in this recipe. You could use sugar.

[youriahh]

ohhh i see.

thank you!

[kerichen]

how much sugar?

[Maangchi]

@kerichen I did not use any sugar in this recipe.

[ltkman]

I love it!!!!

[galaxiatic]

yumyum

[ToMzLad]

This is just like Chinese food, with a twist. I am Chinese and foods like this are usually similar to your cooking. You are good at cooking!

[Maangchi]

yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that there is similar food in your culture.

[jleexoxo]

i love your videos ^_^

[lomosaltado1]

very good !! i started watching your videos just yesterday , and i love them all!! ^^ keep the awesome work !

[Maangchi]

Welcome to my cooking channel!

[lshlover]

oh man, i wish i could eat at your house every day XD

[weetyko]

hi frist of all i wanna say thank you so much for posting all your vedeo jst wondering if u posted a recipe called kalbi...

[Maangchi]

I posted galbijjim.

[Artewilde]

Thank you....I was referring to a dish that is made with korean black beans.....

Is it not the same, I think its made with black beans, sugar, soy, garlic, green onions, seasame oil, and seasame seeds.....I just dont know how to make it :( My best friend is Korean, and his mother makes it some times, but she is getting older, and my best friend has asked me to learn how to make it! :)

[Artewilde]

Do you know how to make Kongjaban?

[Maangchi]

Yes, I posted the recipe already. Check my "soybean side dish" (kongjorim) recipe. The written recipe and photos are posted on my website.

[ErasmusIII]

what does maangchi mean?

[Maangchi]

It's hammer in Korean.

[vAmpirEaLcHemiSt23]

hey i try ths one and my fnds and my family loves it . so yummy :)) thank u ma'am i learn korean dish i also tried the mandu

[Maangchi]

wonderful!

[luvCKay]

thats a lot of salt in the soup...

1 tsp of salt is actually a lot, especially paired with pickles...

enjoy your hypertension, guys!

[TemLo5425]

A.Thanks, i'm sure Maaangchi enjoys hers, too.

B. no one HAS to add as much salt as in the video. "adjust to taste"

C. that was very rude, Maangchi is taking the time to share her wonderful food and culture with us, and for that we thank her.

[123nickel123]

could you please make mujigae ddeok i cant find a recipe anywhere... thanks

[Maangchi]

yes, mujigae ddeok is one of my upcoming recipes. Thank you very much!

[xxjungahfantasyxx]

yay~!! i love mujigae ddeok!! ♥

[AshlynKanuha]

I was wondering if you make the cold black noodles, if so I'd love to see you make a video please.

[Maangchi]

interesting! I have never heard about cold black noodles. If you want to discuss more about the noodles, please leave your message on the forum on my website. Someone else may give you a good answer.

[SGVBaller5]

My guess is possibly some rare kind of noodle for jabchae/neng myun

[TKDInferno]

Hi Maangchi thx for recipes! can u please also teach how to make cold noodle too? I had the "super elastic-chewy" col noodle at korean town and the soup and noodles are just wonderful. Dying to know how to ake it. heehee. THX!~!

[Maangchi]

I love naengmyun, too! (Korean cold noodles)

I have already posted the recipe. Check the recipe section on my website plz!

[princessroyalblue]

that bite of pickles was super crispy. i LOVE pickles. i'll definitely try this recipe :)

thanks

[rapturina]

Thanks for posting this video, Maangchi! I LOVE pickles. :D

Would this also work with regular cucumbers? I've never seen a kirby cucumber around here, so it'd probably be difficult for me to get them. :D

[lapoetica]

I am a vivid watcher of korean drama who's living far away from Asia. The food the people ate in the drama seem to be very exotic and looks veeeerrrry tasty. I always wondered what the dishes are and with your channel I not only know what the dishes are called but ALSO how to make them! Thank you very much!

[genuinepearl2008]

what vinegar do u use?

[Maangchi]

I used Heinz brand apple cider vinegar in this recipe.

[genuinepearl2008]

what vinegar exactly do u use ??

[Gulruhbonu]

Hi Maanghi,

Thanks for the recipes! They're just awsome!

it might sounb weird but can I add less venigar and salt into the pickle?

[Maangchi]

yes, real authentic Korean style salty pickles are made with no vinegar and much more salt. I just modified the recipe a little this way. My answer is that you can use less vinegar in the recipe.

[Gulruhbonu]

WAW, cool. Thanks a lot for the recipes, Maanghi!

[SkyPiper606]

*:) Hey Maangchi!

Great start on the culinary career! Love what you've created so far! Can't wait to see more!

[ListenitupSon]

Hello Maangchi!!

I love all of your recipes! :)

My mom and I made a few of your recipes and they were dynamite!

It would be awesome if you could do a Questions and Answer video because we'd love to learn more about you.

Such as your other hobbies besides cooking delicious korean foods.

Okay, have a great day, bye bye :D

[LeticiaKrupe]

thank you looks delicius and kruspy ^^

[Emilydogcat]

Very nice.

[sourkupo]

The food you make is always so wonderful!!! Thank you!!!! XD i can finally make good food!!!

[seiyaodango]

I love the crunchy sound of the pickles :D It looks very tasty, I want to try making these soon. Thanks Maangchi!

[kooktocook]

I have tried this before but I have never prepared. Now I can. Thank you! KtC

[zeekzack]

I will make cucumber pickles, but could you pls tell me, how long will it last if I let the cucumber in the fridge?

Thank you

[koreatastic]

when my mom made similar styled pickles, it lasted at maximum 3 weeks. its good to eat them quickly because cucumbers dont seem to last long - they become mushy and the crunchyness disappears after 2 weeks or so...

[Maangchi]

oh, yeah? mine is ok. I have some pickles made a month ago, and it is still cripsy.

[Loganoob101]

The food you make never seems to disappoint me! Your an awesome cook ^_^

[minjurang]

maangchi ur the best!!

[soffellsereh]

Maangchi, please show something from that movie; Jewel in the Palace, the meal they prepare for the king and family just look very delicious...

[powerplantop]

[arose4lee]

[PrincessCopyright]

[fhjazzz]

[wandongluv]

Do you have a son I could marry so I can be apart of your family?? - lol - I have to go find a jar big enough to do this! Thanks so much for sharing with us, Unni!!

[CVGshardraco]

LOL... that would mean free food all your life..

[aeronamous]

Thanks again for looking out for the vegetarians, Maangchi! <3

[PoppyBrown]

Haven't been able to make much oi kimchi ,or anything else, since the cucumbers aren't that great here this year. And the cucumber plants in our garden drowned in the rain.

Who does the videotaping while you cook?

[edensdarkpoet]
