[@lauralu4175]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Exactly what I needed. ❤

[@DelightfulDissident]

Does anyone else love watching her show before bed? Her voice is so soothing and watching people cook food they love is so comforting. Gives me good dreams 😊 thank you Maangchi!

[@fruppypie]

Totally! Doing it now. 💜

[@robert_nyc]

Me too 😂

[@hananyousef5150]

Her voice is soothing, but for me, watching cooking video before sleeping is a bad idea 😂

[@oanaalinafluieras443]

Love her voice,i listen to her!She is the best!

[@sandralee8855]

I do....I work nights, so I just got home an hour ago...I'm in my jammies watching now👍😂

[@marisahaines3594]

The diakon storage tip makes me want a whole video on proper storage techniques. I'm constantly trying to find the best way to store different types of veggies.

[@comedicsociopathy]

The best way to store root vegetables is in a pile of dirt actually. But since that's difficult 😄, use the same technique as Maangchi did with the daikon. Can be just a wet towel and a box too. Leaf vegetables can be stored in the fridge wrapped in paper towels and aluminum foil or a dry towel (as opposed to a wet one for root vegetables) and a plastic bag but they don't last long in general and lose vitamins quickly too. All vegetables do but they're the worst when it comes to that. Tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables containing lots of water should never be stored in the fridge and onions, garlic, potatoes etc. should be stored in a dark, cool place (not the fridge). The cute stone / ceramic / etc. containers my grandma used seem to be popular again, they are perfect. Potato bags exist too but ceramic or stone keeps them cool too. Sorry for the long text and mistakes (English isn't my first language) but maybe that helped a little? 😊 Source: my dad is a vegetable farmer.

[@YiOldeJoel]

My favorite way to store daikon... is to pickle and share with friends haha

[@syky145]

For leafy veggies like arugula or lettuce, wash it with water, rinse very well, put in a bowl with tea towel/cloth which you fold over the leafy greens. It will stay crunchy and fresh much longer. Bonus points if you place a plate over the bowl too.

[@Maangchi]

Thank you very much for your nice comments and messages as always! Love you all! ❤ 영어, 한국어 자막 필요하시면 보세요! I just finished Korean caption, so English and Korean captions are available.

[@joannebattersby8365]

I love your recipes and the shorts as well as these longer and fuller shows. But I like it so much because I so enjoy yourself ,your great tips and also I really love your outfits, esp when you wear a matching hat. I think that you are just a lovely and enjoyable visitor in my own kitchen.😊❤

[@commi3205]

한국식 영어 억양 너무 매력적이에요~~~

[@yakipana]

As a Japanese, I had no idea that these cold noodles were so popular among Koreans! That's good👍

[@agentpai]

my mom (born 1950 south korea) made this every summer with tempura. I still eat it every summer with my family and friends in u.s.a. Thank you to for the meal my japanese brothers/sisters

[@robwastman4993]

I was on my honeymoon in Japan with my half Japanese wife when I had Soba for the first time. At about 10:00 PM the noodle man came down the street pushing a cart, blowing a low whistle. My wife who grew up in Tokyo said it’s the noodle man! Let’s go. It was a wonderful experience eating cold noodles in the warm summer evening with the neighbors who all came outside wearing their pajamas.

[@Maangchi]

Thank you for sharing the story about "noodle man"! : ) I'd like to buy some cold noodles from the noodle man!

[@justgotserious9124]

It’s called zaru soba in japanese. I use the same brand of dipping sauce(gold cap) featured in the video. If you’re going to add the ground radish in the dip it is absolutely necessary to dilute it bec it will make your sauce tangier. I use mine straight up and store it in my fridge so I won’t have to add ice.

[@nessavee2205]

I've enjoyed cold soba sice i was a child. I'm American, but my grandmother immigrated to the United States from Hokkaido Japan in the mid 50's. This dish was always a staple in our home during the summer months. It's so delicious! I sometimes like to have a little Natto on the side with some crushed sesame seeds and julienned shiso leaves for added flavor and texture.

[@aghiesscape5421]

😅

[@joannebattersby8365]

I started watching her because she is adorably cute in her outfits and hats- and I love that she loves her own cooking 😊. And the recipes are so delicious. But it is her that makes it so nice.

[@mbblmasckrobin]

Thanks for showing how to store daikon! I never knew how to store it without it always getting dried up or covered with mould

[@comedicsociopathy]

Do the same with carrots and other root vegetables, it will change your life. 😊 Source: my dad is a vegetable farmer.

[@bhaktichaudhary1797]

Yay!! Thank you Auntie Maangchi - we are burning up here and this is the perfect thing for me to make the family cool and filled up💜

[@2bearscape]

Maangchi is the best, whenever I watch her shows, I feel life is good fer having her as a human.

[@wc5598]

Made the cold noodle dish last night… it was really good. Thank you M!

[@Maangchi]

Wonderful!

[@druidOcelot]

its that time of year, where cold meals and iced barley tea are kinda absolutely my go to "i do not want to heat up my house, because its too hot" situation, and having another recipe in the repertoire is 100% something i absolutely needed beyond all belief, thank you so much Maangchi!!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Is iced barley tea a thing or is that a euphemism for beer?

[@druidOcelot]

@@canaisyoung3601 it is, in fact, a whole thing, and its absolutely delicious. (it is not beer, and is incredibly hydrating and good for your skin lol)

[@user-nm7nl5jh2j]

​@@canaisyoung3601It's called bori-cha in Korean. You just boil dried roasted barley (Korean stores sell these dark kernels used specifically for tea) in water and drink it hot or chilled.

[@katl8825]

@@canaisyoung3601 barley tea is a thing, if you have an Asian grocer you can probably find it in the teas isle. It’s lovely hot, but incredibly refreshing cold. A lot of Korean restaurants (at least here in the US) also often serve it instead of water :)

[@daunngriffith720]

Thank you for the joy and delight you bring...in addition to the magical looking foods you teach us about ❤

[@TheDiplococcus]

Anew Maangchi video always makes me happy. :)

[@Suki-Tawdry]

I love how sweet and wholesome Auntie Maangchi is! I can’t wait to make this dish!

[@couragefish]

I like to save the super starchy water when making buckwheat noodles, you can use it in place of milk in recipes! I usually use it to make crepes.

[@marraharris6080]

Have a recipe for those crepes?!

[@mikk5540]

I love the fact that you also teach good ways to store the ingredients ♥︎

[@danielleappay652]

Love the additions to the dipping sauce. I will definitely be trying this out

[@kathysalkeldbonilla6541]

Very nice for a hot summer day!

[@julienicolay]

This is a super favorite dish of mine that I always order when it's on the menu, and now I'll be making my own, THANK YOU! So simple and SO refreshing! ❤

[@kalmage136]

Yesss I’ve been waiting for this recipe from Maangchi. I’ve been seeing so many mukbangs of this.

[@yurironoue5888]

[@SpoonForkHeart]

As always, your food looks so amazingly delicious ♥

[@hoptoi]

Looks delicious!😊

[@gillyp6919]

OMG! I always wondered why the cold soba I make as an adult doesn't taste the same as what my grandpa made on hot days when i was a kid. It might be because he made it THIS way! I remembered a "cold soup", with noodles in same bowl as dipping broth (probably because we were clumsy kids) 😂When I've tried to make it (Japanese way), the broth was more salty and not "fluffy"...now I suspect the "secret ingredient" is ground radish!! I'm stopping off at my Korean grocery ASAP--I can't wait to try this version!

[@devinodonnell]

That's an awesome looking recipe, and I can't wait to try it out!

[@user-nm7nl5jh2j]

Love you Maangchi.

[@carolsze6559]

This looks so lovely, cool and soothing. Perfect for this week of stifling heat! Thank you!

[@nidonemo]

These are super refreshing and enjoyable, especially when the summer heat has taken away your appetite. Ice cold ramen is delicious too!

[@ericvandomselaar8420]

That looks delicious.

[@slocad11]

I learned a lot of new details on preparing this. Good job!

[@janiceinFL]

Maangchi! I learned from you, long, long ago, how to roast a stack of gim in a pan, and also sheet by sheet over my gas stove! Ever since, I buy gim in 100 sheet bags and always have it on hand! I eat it almost every day and even my 6 yr old grandson has come to love it and asks me to toast him some every time he comes! Now I'll have to make Memil- Guksu for us too! What would I do without you! I know Ive shared with you before, but I am still fighting cancer and I truly believe that eating so much Korean peppers and gim and vegetables has helped reduce cancer reoccurances! I owe all of my Korean cooking knowledge to you, Maangchi! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! And now, if my dream to see Korea ever comes true, I will know what each dish I order is and how delicious it will be! ❤

[@quick.easy.eat23]

I really needed this recipe ❤ thank you sooooo much for sharing this ❤ much love from Canada 🇨🇦 stay safe and blessed always ❤

I love cold soba, udon, so-men and ramen especially in this season🥵💦🥢. I also love to cook noodle salad using these noodles when I get bored with soy sauce based soba soup🥗🧑‍🍳.

🌼Maangchi🌻, you always lift my spirits up especially when I'm working at the hospital and sneak your video in😂 Believe it or not, we have some great chefs here and the food is amazing!

Hope your enjoying this weather..I love winter myself😊 Thank you so much Maanchi for always bringing us great dishes!💗
