I Had this today with my friends : D we all had a contest on who could cook the best Korean dish, of course we all used your videos and we couldnt decide on a winner. :)

[cheekymafia]

Maangchii... i remembered my friend said that her tourist guide recommend mixing tuna into the kimchi jiggae when she ask for the recipe... would that taste nice.? curious...

[Maangchi]

@cheekymafia yes, you can replace pork with a can of tuna. It's delicious. Happy cooking!

[beatricexox]

@MsAishiteiru yes, beef or chicken will work well. Happy cooking! ; )

[fmokhtar]

Maangchi... I have been trying to find the recipe for pickled Chayote in soy sauce like the one your friend made in this video. Is there any way you can get the recipe and post it? Thanks!

[21forever21]

[2PMArabHottest]

[3kayt]

You live in Toronto?! Can I ask where you go for ingredients?

[Maangchi]

@3kayt I used to go Korean shopping at PAT in Korea town near Christie subway Yonge and Bathurst. I'm living in New York now.

[tinypinkey]

[Tumldk1]

if I had a mother like her, I think I will be fat

[TheCancer833]

I don't eat pork. Can I put chicken in my kimchi Jjigae instead of pork?

[Maangchi]

@TheCancer833 chicken sounds good to me. Happy cooking!

[TheCancer833]

@Maangchi Thank you. I like your videos. ;)

[Keismo]

@Maangchi I did it with fish, so anything goes with the kimch Jigae. Just don't forget to have the Kimchi

[seksykhmaigirl]

Your welcome..

[ZarathuPower]

You're the foremost crusader in popularizing Korean foods. I strongly feel that the Korean government should invite you over and award you with a medal and lots of thanks. I hope that the cultural minster watch this and consider hard.

Thanks for inviting Debora over; she is a beautiful lady. I think your videos are getting more popular with people participate in cooking with you.

[seksykhmaigirl]

It's called chayote squash, the two fist veggies she's talking about her friend made.

[Maangchi]

@seksykhmaigirl thank you! : )

[iya0118]

[veverlyn1506]

[hengheng9586]

Can I use the emergency kimchi to make kimchi jigae instead of the regular one?

[SouthKorean07]

Kimchi Jigae is my fav korean dish. I'm adopted from South Korea and havent had much experience with Korean food. Then I grew up lol. Started going to korean bbq places and really love korean food. YAY

[Maangchi]

@SouthKorean07 Great! Happy cooking!

[shunneechan3]

By chance, I came across your blog site when I googled 'Kimchi Chigae'. I want to cook Kimchi Chigae for my sister. She and I both love spicy foods and I tried this in a restaurant once and decided I'd like to make my own. I like your blog, because not only are the instructions very easy to follow, the videos are great, so if I get lost with any instructions, I can just watch the video. :) About the pork belly...that goes in the stew, right?

[Maangchi]

@shunneechan3 Thank you very much for your nice message! Yes, pork belly goes with this stew! Happy cooking!



[LeaStav]

Wow I'm 10 years old and I want to cook this for my dads boss who is korean! I love watching u cook!

[Maangchi]

@LeaStav wow be careful when you chop something when you make this. : )

[dogsrule9908]

@LeaStav your gonna have to make the soup spicier than normal :) we koreans love spicy food

[9HereticPrincess9]

@LeaStav Good luck! I sure wish I knew how to cook back when I was 10! Remember to hold the knife steady, curl the fingers of your other hand under (the hand you are holding whatever you are chopping with) and GO SLOW Have fun! :D

[yenskie07]

makes me wanna eat this right now... it's such a rainy day today... :(

[pitko420]

I love making Kim Chi Jigae, but I dont have enough juice to make more then 1-2 dishes. I want to make enough for 4-5 dishes. I add water and chilli powder but if i add lots of water it doesnt taste like kim chi jigae anymore... what should I do? prepare chicken stock?

[udy0709]

can pork be replaced with another meat? cant eat porkk..

[Maangchi]

@udy0709 yes, you can use beef , chicken, or a can of tuna.

[eluvvv]

aw man I was hoping you lived near chicago lol

and oh my gosh deborah is so cute alsdkfja;ldjksf XD~ <3

[Xxakmtz]

I made the gamjatang soup for my taekwondo teacher, and he loved it. Today i found out his favorite is actually kimchi stew. I'm hoping i could make this one a success like the last soup i made for him. I have huge crush on him and you know what they say "A way to a man's heart is threw his stomach"

[Maangchi]

@Xxakmtz lol, good luck!!!

[cookiesryumyum]

I recently made some kimchi but it ended up being too salty. Is it okay to use that for this soup?

[Maangchi]

@cookiesryumyum yes, you can.

[Maangchi]

@xChocoChan ow ow, I'm proud of you! ^^

[xChocoChan]

@Maangchi My mom said it was delicous, she's gonna make some side dishes now. Thank you, Maangchi!

[Maangchi]

@xChocoChan ooh whoo! 

[CardiganBabe]

Hello Maangchi, I always feel very happy when I watch your videos. It made me feel that Korean cooking is easy,tasty, healthy and happy !

[wishiwaskorean]

Does anyone know where I can buy fresh Korean bean sprout ing Singapore? The ones from the Korean shop are not that fresh. They're somewhat brown and bruised

[uberredden]

@wishiwaskorean I got mine at NTUC fairprice next to the usual local bean sprouts. Hope this helps. :)

[lieyan2011]

i love it yummy! anyway whats the title of ur background song?



[Maangchi]

@lieyan2011 It's "Raindrops from the Sun (hey hey hey)' by Imani Coppola

[9987ifY]

Lol when Maangchi says 'wow'.

[shev290]

hello there , the kimchi i brought from a grocery is too salty , what can i do to reduce the saltyness?& in my grocery store , the hot pepper paste is not halal , so what can i replace with it ?

[ShuZhenx]

[novelle1979]

[Maangchi]

@novelle1979 Great!

[crazybabes1991]

[Maangchi]

@crazybabes1991 yes, you can.

[KinkySupporter]

You made me hungry in the middle of 1.02 a.m.

[mbrown187]

Question regarding the bean sprouts. I went to an H-Mart (that's a Korean supermarket) and bought some bean sprouts that had already been prepared and I noticed it tasted fine but when you chewed it there was a part that was hard to completely chew. Is there something you have to do to the bean sprouts--such as boil them or steam them. I also have a rice cooker that has a vegetable steamer, could I put the bean sprouts in there? Thanks for the video.

[Maangchi]

@xiiaolovely thank you for the answer! You can check out the Korean grocery store section on my website, too.

[jamesbug2002]

wow..i'm....hungreeeeeee!

너무 먹고싶다 ~

[sundaevanilla]

[edanaify]

what is the title of the song playing?

[minoueel]

My fave soup/stew! I need to make it real soon sans pork though I wonder if it'll spoil the taste.

The heart-shaped veg that u describe seems like a type of gourd that we sometimes eat it as a stir-fry in Singapore.

[jayni1009]

[Vivianpuay]

I really like your cooking vedio, last time I also made Kimchi by learning from your website. My boyfriend really enjoy it. this time I will make Kimchi Chigae as your recipe. Thanks for your good lcooking advise.... Vivian from Thailand

[TheBaconEggAndCheese]

I want to make kongnamul muchim, but I'm always afraid to cook bean sprouts because I don't want them to be too soggy. Won't cooking the bean sprouts on high heat for 15 minutes make them too soggy?

[Maangchi]

@TheBaconEggAndCheese Check out my kongnamul muchim recipe on my website. I posted it without a video. Happy cooking!

[jimmykeehner]

i'm living in korea now and LOVE the food. I keep trying new kimchi jigae recipes and yours looks so authentic! Loved how you chopped! And your added korean made me know you were cooking some authentic korean food! loved it loved it loved it! Keep on cooking!

[lovelyvangurl]

if we want it spicier then we can add more pepper right??

[lovelyvangurl]

the kimchi that u use, is it the ones that u make only??

the first time u make kimchi, it

doesnt start to have the juice right??

and then after it being fermented, the juice will be

produced right??i am just asking so that if that's the way it is then i will jus make my own kimchi and use it for this stew!!

[Maangchi]

@lovelyvangurl yes, it sounds like you made yummy kimchi!

[Maangchi]

@Maangchi yes, yes,

[TheCzev]

I cooked dduk pukki (spelling?) last Christmas and everybody loved it!!! Thanks so much! If I hadnt followed your dduk pukki video, i woulnt have done it so well. I mean even my students (I teach Koreans) cant teach me properly. I really appreciate your work.

So I'll try this stew next weekend. I'm so excited! Thanks again!

[Maangchi]

@TheCzev Great news! cheers!

[Gorillagal247]

I am a Muslim so I can't eat pork so would it be okay to use chicken or beef instead? will it taste good?-x

[Maangchi]

@Gorillagal247 yes, use beef then. It will be delicious! : )

[Tomboysdude]

i have a question...my father and sister are diabetics...can i use splenda instead of sugar...

[Maangchi]

@Tomboysdude yes, you can.

[supotech]

i made this twice alreadyy but with tuna it was SOOO GOOD!!! thank you SOOO MUCH!!! hahahaha i also used the kimchi i made using your video too hehhehe :)

[Maangchi]

@supotech awesome!

[jhayanneo1]

hi! i really love this recipe and been wanting to make it. but i don't know where to buy the red pepper paste which i've been looking for in ages. I'm also from Canada, in winnipeg. ^_^ I hope you'll reply! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[Maangchi]

@jhayanneo1 Check the grocery section on my website. It's sold at a Korean grocery store.

[jhayanneo1]

@Maangchi thank you. yup i saw the grocery store on ur website ^_^ i will go check it out! THANK YOU SO MUCH! <3

[Bristy90]

Can I exchange the pork belly for something else as I don't eat pork? ^_^

[Maangchi]

@Bristy90 You could use lamb or chicken.

[Bristy90]

@Maangchi Ok, Thanks =D

[savanna1980]

@Bristy90 My Korean mother-in-law makes it with beef stew meat and slow cooks it in the broth until it's tender like pot roast before adding the veggies for the last 20 minutes. Delicious!

[Football10Fan]

Do you have a 감자탕 recipe? I hope so, I hope I can make it soon, I miss Korean food

[Maangchi]

@Football10Fan yes, check my pork bone soup recipe. It's gamjatang.

[XbabyCCX]

Would I have to use the hot pepper paste? I only have hot pepper powder. :(

[laurysocheerful]

can i leave the pork skin on?D:

[Maangchi]

@laurysocheerful yes, remove the skin before using it. check my grilled pork belly recipe (samgyeopsal gui) where I'm showing how to remove the skin. : )

[laurysocheerful]

can i use 막김치 for this recipe?D:

[Maangchi]

@laurysocheerful yes, of course!

[laurysocheerful]

is it okay if we leave the skin on?D:

[babulia247]

wow. good job;) i like it

[KellieXLR]

thank you so much for making this because it is raining right now and i was craving some kimchi chigae and i wasnt sure if i had everything to make it, but i did!! so i just finished it and am going to eat it with my family!! thank you!

[Maangchi]

@KellieXLR It sounds like you make your home cozy! kimchi stew on rainy day!

[KellieXLR]

@Maangchi yes very cozy!! thanks again for the recipe

[oOpreciousOo]

i was wondering if there are any differences in flavors between Hot Pepper Flakes and Hot Pepper Powder? Would it be ok to use Hot pepper powder with his recipe?

[shrimpxchips]

I know the Korean name for red pepper paste is gojuchang, but what is the Korean name for red pepper flakes?  Everytime I go to a Korean market I ask for red pepper flakes but they don't know what I'm talking about!

[Maangchi]

@shrimpxchips hot pepper flakes are called "gochu garu"

[puiphay]

this is the first time i cook korean food ^^ i don't use sugar because i don't like sweet but the soup is still nice taste^^ thank you

[MobileKitteh]

Thank you Maangchi! I made this soup for my husband yesterday and he really liked it. I'm so grateful for your channel! It is the only way I can learn how to cook Korean food and make my husband and my mother in law happy.

[Maangchi]

@MobileKitteh awesome news! Yes, food makes family happy. : )

[MrZotZot]

Do you put garlic in kimchee jigae or you dont need it because the kimchee has it?

[Maangchi]

@MrZotZot I don't use garlic because kimchi already has garlic in it. good question!

[chocojung]

i luv kimchi soup

[huhushi]

I don't know if anyone has answered you already, but Maangchi, the squash you were talking about is "chayote"

"Buddha's hand squash" or "closed palm squash"

[Maangchi]

@huhushi thank you very much, I heard the answer so many times, but still I don't know how to pronounce it. chayote. : ) It's so kind of you!

[boyweed]

Oh my! you really are the queen of Kimchi!! I'm going to make stew tomorrow thanks you your video.. :-D Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[YenSturr]

um i was just wondering if you could use other kimchi such as kimchi radish?

because right now i dont have kimchi so would kimchi radish work? or does it have to be kimchi cabbage?

thank you

[Maangchi]

@YenSturr fermented (sour taste)cabbage kimchi is better for kimchi stew but you can use radish kimchi, too.

[Johnkhoan]

no tashida or any seasoning? wont this turn out bland?

[kimsuke101]

a friend introduced to me to this video...

I really love Korean food.

My friend told me that he think the name of the food at 8:34 is called 'mandrake' because he think you said that it was like a small child with two feet

[1dorinda1]

does it matter if the kimchee is old or new?

[Maangchi]

@1dorinda1 old kimchi (fermented and sour taste kimchi) is used to make kimchi stew.

[KenjiXP]

you live in toronto? I do too!

[NIGWBOO]

i really love to watch your videos

[heyhayvio]

looks very good. i am going to make kimchi chigae tonight!

[Maangchi]

@heyhayvio let me know how it turns out! : )

[heyhayvio]

I turned out to be very good. I didn't pick up the anchovies, my bf didn't want to see them in the soup. Do you usually eat them too?

[mekon1971]

Thank you for posting this. I love kimchi chigae!

[DAIGORO14]

Love your videos

[bokhead1]

my dads making kimchichigae right noww soo goodd

[SooyeonnPark]

:]]]]]

내가 재일 잘하는 요리다!! :3

[AnotherMACfreek]

I love kimchi jigae! with lots of dubu

[kplzsuspense]

I am making this tonight! My mouth is watering. :D

P.S. The kimchi that was like two fists together is what we call "buddha's hand" in Chinese! We always eat it stirfried at home but kimchi version sounds yummy!

[skycub99]

I wanna meet Maangchi!!!!!

i wish you were my mom, then i would have grown up learning to cook like you!

[crazy4sian]

Oori uhmuni eeguh jahl mahnduruyoh.

Of all Korean spicy stews, this is my favorite. One isn't truly Korean without it!

[isendono]

i believe shes korean x)

[Churumbelita]

I think they were asking about Deborah. Maangchi said Deborah wasn't Korean.

[luvelysteph]

"so how did u meet me?"

"online"

"wat online? online dating??" LOLL xD nice dish again btw

[GingeyBreadPantz]

What does kimchi taste like? I'd love to try it:)

[heat4yoass]

ahn young! I love this dish! my wife is korean and she makes this for me all the time. I mix it with bap (rice) and it's sooooo good!

[Raymel187]

I've followed your recipe but for some reason it just tastes like hot bean paste with water. I like for it to be really spicy and tasty but I can't seem to get it right.

[Maangchi]

Add more hot pepper paste then. You can modify the recipe according to your taste.

[FS11111]

@Raymel187 maybe you could try using chicken stock instead of water... it'll be more flavourful.. but thats in theory though... havent tried cooking this yet. heheh

[Venatrix99]

Her guest was so lucky! cooking with Maangchi must be so exciting

[sinnerinheaven82]

this is one of my fave korean dishe´s next to bibimbap

[vikkilor]

OMG that looks SOO GOOD^^

[emeraldsunsets]
