I watched this today and was wondering why you look different and video quality is bit low. Then I noticed this is from 12 years ago! Wow! Even back then you made so good cooking videos!

[@varietyvibe123]

I’m watching this today in 2024 and this video is 14years ago 😂😭 love her so so much.. I’m learning a lot of korean cuisines from her ❤️❤️❤️

[@mikepellerin4611]

10 years ago, I was sick with cancer. I couldn't eat all of the food the Hospital brought through, to me, it just stank. I couldn't eat anything. A Korean nurse asked if she could prepare something for me, that her Mom and Grandmother used to make when her family members were sick. She had the kitchen staff prepare dakjuk. I ate two bowls with toasted bread. It was everything I was craving: Rice, Chicken Broth, Onions, Garlic, Salt and Pepper, all stewed into a thick broth. Months later, when I was leaving the Hospital, I asked the Nurse for the recipe I had so many times now. She gave me a printout of a recipe from your website. She said it was just like hers/and her Mom's. 10 years later, I'm cancer free, but I still eat juk 1-2 times a week! I also share it with friends who are feeling a bit under the weather!

[@bildaojiton7217]

Mike Pellerin, thank you for this information right now I have cancer on my liver and can not eat anything that's way im looking the best food, im going to try this one, once again thank you.

[@Maangchi]

Thank you, everybody for your nice comments. I talked to the hotel staff yesterday to let them know about this video. They love it! I like to live in Costa Rica now. : )

[@windilyn_1178]

I just came across this video. I love watching you videos and have gotten to recreate some of your dishes which are delicious. I love that you loved Costa Rica, it's where my parents are from. Every time I go, I love going to La Fortuna and taking a dip in the hot springs.

[@snehapodala]

Which rice do they used

[@brodie-tzu4753]

I love Costa Rica! The sloths are so cute!

[@niseno5605]

The porridge is similar to our traditional porridge here in northeast India 🇮🇳 (State : Nagaland) My tribal class called "Angami" prepares this kind of porridge called "Galho" with our local rice grown in the fields, we add greens and meat to our porridge and make it thick and slimy to eat! Love how Koreans have the similar taste with us! Love this recipe!

[@sakuratzuki4015]

Yeah ! Here too

[@sakuratzuki4015]

This is my fav

[@ophliablue]

I used to be an opera singer and my stepmom would make this for me if I got sick before and audition or performance. She got the recipe from one of her yoga retreats, and it is nearly identical to yours. I’m actually making it right now for a friend of mine who is under the weather. So much love and health in this dish! Thank you so much for posting it ❤️

[@Zannnnah]

This actually made me tear up at the end! You are a seriously positive soul. I'm of Jamaican parentage so the Bob Marley in the background was the first surprise. Then just seeing you cook for ppl lovingly was a joy to watch...thank you sooooo much for sharing...all the best from London, UK

[@ageless_linda9590]

She has to be the Asian mother Theresa so humble!! You can actually feel her good vibes.

[@toluwalaseopanuga8721]

I am a Nigerian, am pretty sure you have no idea how much I love south Korean culture especially their food.. yea its too much Korean movies but I must say that I really love this video, your website and you.

[@misstaylor5104]

All those people were like "who is this magical food fairy😮😄she's so cute and little and loves to feed us!" Lol u can tell she enjoys feeding people as well as cooking 💙

[@Maangchi]

❤️

[@laileelailee1247]

Loved when she fed the young guy haha her personality is funny and nice 😋

[@yoyomax12]

The video quality in this was wonderful, felt like I was there! The food you cook is so different from what I was raised with, I love to learn new things from you. :)

[@Maangchi]

@beatricexox add more water, no problem. When it cools down, it will get thicker. Add more water and boil it. Stir it with a wooden spoon. Add more salt.

[@maryhook9698]

I've watched this video over and over again I just love ❤️ her attitude she's so adorable

I just finished cooking this soup and it was more than delicious 🤗 Much better than the soups I'm used to but in Asian restaurants here in Germany. Thank you so much, you are the best 😍

[@Maangchi]

👏

[@Plant_Parenthood]

Love it! Jamaican music, Korean food and Costa Rican scenery.

[@chopsticksforlegs]

Omg they're so lucky to have had a chance to eat your food

[@dewontherocks]

[@elizabethdonnamason856]

I tried cooking this today! The taste is superb! Thank you so much for the recipe! I’m craving for juk but in times like this I can’t travel! Cooking with your recipe ease my cravings for Korean food

[@Maangchi]

👍

[@Maangchi]

@Delphiki yeah, lots of similar food among different cultures. I love seafood congee!

[@alnsubuga]

I love your holiday videos! Not only is it impressive how you manage to cook Korean dishes no matter where you are in the world, but I enjoy watching how you connect with people and make new friends through food. You have a warm and generous heart.

[@Maangchi]

Thank you so much for your kind words! You are awesome! : )

[@chowfun1976]

You are so much fun Maangchi! It's so nice of you to share your delicious food with the friends you made in Costa Rica. I'd love to see you shopping at the market on your next trip. Your sweet personality is so infectious and wonderful! Keep posting, I enjoy your videos immensely!

[@powerfulnightmare]

I’ve been sick all week, and without realizing I have been making this to eat. It’s been about the only thing I can keep down. Thanks for sharing!

[@Maangchi]

Hope you get well soon!

[@powerfulnightmare]

Maangchi thank you!! I am better now 🙏

[@kasvinimuniandy4178]

Awwww that's so fun!! So sweet of you to cook for your friends! You are so motherly and kind.

[@Maangchi]

Hi, everybody! Thank you for all your nice comments! I'm working on my written recipe now. It will be posted soon. More photos, recipe, and tips will be there! yes, I put some hot pepper flakes and short grain rice in my backpack for just in case use! Thank you thank you! I'm busy busy..omg! : )

[@KimmieSpirit]

It's so nice to see people from different cultures eat a meal in complete harmony and peace. Why can't the rest of the world be like this?

[@laramis]

I made this on Sun and it was great! I did add a few things to make it my own. I added carrots at the same time I put in the rice and after I put in the green onion and egg, I put in some spinach. My Korean friends roll their eyes at me everytime I cook Korean and then add something to it (like when I add carrots to the radish and beef soup) but I think that a truly good cook has fun with food! Thanks for the recipe!

[@s.montfri4924]

Wow! I'm from Costa Rica. I miss my country so much ! Pura Vida !. I wish I 'll be there with you and eat this soup, this guys was so lucky! .. . Maangchi you are an amazing and lovely person!..

Hello Maangchi-ssi! Today I made this juk for me and my mom. It tastes... awww, wonderful! I wanted to eat it, cause my stomach feels bad, and I have to say, I FEEL MUCH BETTER now! In korean dramas juks are remedy for everything. Well, I have to agree! Thank you very much for this recipe!

[@HarukaNUsagi]

This is something I can't screw up! Thanks, Maangchi! You're always shining in your videos.

[@Ishtars_Star]

woww! my friend is filipino but she made me the same porridge when i was sick. the difference is she put ginger and garlic in it and put shredded chicken back into the porridge and topped it off with a little bit of ground fried chicken skin. :) it cleared my sinuses!

[@Maangchi]

Thank you very much! : )

[@Kamilachan]

I just made this recipe, it was SO tasty! Definitely a keeper! I think I'm going to start making this about once a week :) Thank You Maangchi!

[@rehnumatabassum7654]

[@Maangchi]

[@bossred7038]

I not only addict to Korean dramas but Korean Foods too...:) now i want to learn cooking Korean foods..

[@zackcovert2547]

this brings back such great memories when i was a little kid cooking with my korean grandmother :)

[@SuzanneBa]

What a good, new, way to serve chicken and rice for us. Thanks. Looks like a wonderful place to have a holiday.

[@mykidsvideo123]

Wow, that is a lot of garlic. Lao and Thai have a chicken and rice porridge recipe too. Difference is we don't add garlic and we shred the chicken meat and put it in with the pot of porridge. This dish is serve anytime of the day and especially when you are sick. Thanks for sharing. Nice place for vacation. Wish I was there.

[@Maangchi]

@ginablackmer awesome!

[@martinlowang5420]

i tried the recipe today and it turned out to be an easy, delicious and healthy one..jst lovd it..thnk you chef maangchi😙😙

[@bushramollick8077]

i love these old videos of maangchi!

[@Maangchi]

@hastiin yeah,I had to clean the large pot I used for this video for a long time! They were happy to see the shiny pot later. : )

[@SamiSmolboi]

I love watching this old videos. Maangchi is a super mom!

[@bronzeandnoble]

Maangchi. You're such an inspiration. Just to show no matter where you are, food really does bring everyone together. Thanks for a wonderful recipe, I'll definitely try it out soon.

[@troyreng2762]

"ouch! maangchi is cutting my bum! :)" You're hilarious, and of course an amazing cook and teacher! Thank you for all your videos!

[@Ahonya666]

I will try it at home. When I told my brother this recipe has a lot of garlic he said :"why? all the recipe will be a garlic flavor!!" I can't convince him... ;( Sorry if my English is bad. I love your channel ❤ and greetings from Spain!

[@ashleymora870]

+Araceli Pastoriza Fernandez I find it funny that a Spaniard is complaining about garlic because over here in Central America, that's the main flavor we taste in your guy's cuisine lol! The soup has a garlic flavor, yes, but it's also light & refreshing because of the chicken and the onion! Make a little for yourself & maybe if he tastes it you can convince him! ;)

[@classical7]

Delicious food always bring us together! Can't believe this video was 10 years ago! Goodbye 2020!! Happy New Year!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@MrKeithayu]

I enjoy every video of yours! Your genuine, kind personality shines through the delicious cooking.

I love this video and you Maangchi, you are a wonderful human being, sharing food makes the world one. I love this porridge, I call it soup. Very wholesome, healthy and tasty. Thanks again for sharing it.

[@toyoyoyo104]

The way she cooks porridge here is so different from the way we do it. We use ginger and sesame oil. And the chicken goes into the porridge. But her porridge looks yummy. 😍😍

[@jhb61249]

Maangchi - world peace Prize holder! She is a good person doing good and encouraging peaceful interaction with all throughout the world. Thanks Maanchi !!!

It seems like a really nice place with friendly people:) The ingredients are simple so I can also cook this dish at pretty much any place we travel to. That's great;)

[@cendawan17]
