오늘 첨 봤는데 참 대단하신 분이네요. 한국을 빛낸 당신에게 감사드립니다.

[@user-pq4gc8rr5q]

한국에서는 흔하게 볼 수 있는데 외국에서는 찾아가야되니까 시청하시는 분들이 굉장히 유용하게 생각하겠어요. 잘 보고 있습니다. 야무지게 잘 말씀하셔서 듣는 분들도 좋아할거에요. ^^

[@delanimoon]

I love grocery stores too, in general. But going to ones from different cultures is always more fun, because you get to see all new products. It's like a treasure hunt. Thanks for these videos, it'll help my pantry. Of course I watched 2-4 first 🙄 lol

She must have been an amazing mom, she does so much for us. Imagine what she did for her children growing up. Such a lovely soul she has. She reminds me of my mom when she was alive. Watching Maangchi gives me comfort, I'm in my early 20's but I still miss my mom so much. Love the videos, keep them coming! :)

[@brnn17]

I love that Maangchi took this a step further by bringing along some fans, as well as taking the time to stop and explain what to look for when buying ingredients and how they’re important to Korean cuisine. I’ve been following Maangchi since the early days and she always puts in 100% effort. Her shining spirit never seems to waiver and can be found in every video, short, and blog post. My grandfather used to eat raw potatoes with salt. I hope a Korean sweet potato is much better raw than a Yukon lol.

[@Maangchi]

Thank you so much for your nice words! Happy cooking!

[@nisaba5752]

I've been watching Maangchi since I started watching KZbin 😁 She is practical, creative and fun! She also explains things so very well and takes a lot of the mystery out of Korean cooking. Her personality is so vibrant🌞 I think she is my Korean Big Sister 😸 🙏Thank you Maangchi!!!

[@Maangchi]

오늘 갑자기 추천영상 떠서 들어왔다가 한국의 맛을 영어로 알리시는 분이어서 존경의 마음 전하고 갑니다.. I accidentally came here because my youtube newsfeed recommend it, but I want to show my admiration to Maangchi about her great efforts of spreading Korean taste all over the world!

[@bootsw5374]

Omg i just started following you are so informative. I'm black and my husband is white. Fell in love with korean food when i first got pregnant 3 years ago. 3 years later 4 babies later. I crave Korean food all the time. I'm trying to learn how to cook it

Thank you Korean Mama!!! we really enjoyed this video going around shopping with you!!

[@ngckemente2487]

WaqaTv oo

[@Babegirlcass]

I am IN LOVE with this series!!!! Our Korean market is much much smaller, but this helps a lot because while a lot of the items will have an English translation, some don't so you're kinda taking a guess based on what is around it.

[@StressedDress]

"It's my relative!" I laughed so hard, she is so cute ❤️

[@Moonstarrr1]

Can't wait for part 2. Thank you for teaching us some of the various names for the produce and the difference between similar items. Within driving distance we have 3 major Asian supermarkets (Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese based) plus lots of smaller store options. Knowing some basics before you go is so nice!

[@florabramwell2638]

You're so sweet and kind to take your readers and viewers for food adventures! I love how you really are here for all of us with your recipes, advice and delicious food community :) Thank you dear Maangchi

[@chelsiewebster666]

Hello maangchi! Its 12:30 on monday morning in Australia and im so excited to watch your video before i go to sleep. Hopefully I'll dream about delicious Korean food now! Much love to you

[@Aya-bk5zv]

Maangchi you are not only informative you are also such an entertaining host/speaker. Whenever i watch your videos i always have smile on my face until the end. 😁😘👍👏

[@bicpapermate]

To the girl who loves hot and spicy, I guessed red pepper flakes too (oops). I am making kimchi today. Yesterday I bought 60 lbs. of some of the most beautiful Napa Cabbage. If Maangchi looked in my refrigerator right now her heart would beat so fast I'd have to call a doctor. I think that is an excellent supermarket! It's so big, bright and clean. I can't wait for part 2. Thank you Maangchi. Especially for the part about short grain rice. I've been using long grain all this time. Now it's time to chop cabbages!

[@shawna.3870]

haha! that was me. .making that comment!

[@waterlilly1498]

Shawn A. ha ha girl , you were so lucky getting to go shopping with mrs.M. 😉👍

[@bicpapermate]

You're so lucky to be a part of the tour. How many episodes are there? BTW I finished making my kimchi. Smells so good!

[@shawna.3870]

Waterlilly 1 She is just as super cool and fun in person! It was a really fun day..we all ate lunch with Maangchi at the end of the day at the store. Best day ever! ❤️🥘🍚🍲

[@bicpapermate]

Next up is spice, paste and sauce. Shawn, I hope you got Maangchi to show us how to find the super-spicy ones even if we can't read the labels.

[@danalynchable]

This video was fantastic! I lived in Korea for several years, but I learned so much from this store walkthrough. Can't wait to see more of this series! Thanks Maangchi!

Thank you for taking the time to film this! It is very helpful! I know how to read Korean but sometimes I don't know what it means so in the store I can feel confused. Love you Maangchi! 😍

[@breesevere]

Thank you for this! We can't wait for part two. This month we are using your videos to make a bunch of Korean food. I would love to see a foraging video!

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

고맙습니다!!! I love this adventure with you! I do not live near a Korean store but there is one in a few towns from here. Your tour has made me excited to go and visit and buy food!

[@diannes4384]

My favorite series ever. Thank you so much for helping us navigate around the HMart

[@reinagutierrez9929]

Maangchi oh my goodness I love you sooooooo much!! I just started to follow you. I’m totally obsessed with kimchi. I spend so much money on buying it prepared but I love all your kimchi recipes. Thank you for coming into my life. I can’t wait to make kimchi like you taught me. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@scruffy281]

You are an amazing lady!!!❤️ This video is so amazing......I have learned so much. I wish I had 100 more years to live just to learn more about Korean cooking. Thank you so much for sharing your precious time and knowledge of Korean cooking. It is priceless and I appreciate it so much. ❤️ from Texas!!!

[@GIANTKAIJU]

Love that you are doing more diverse video content! I would like to see you also do videos about Korea traditions, culture topics, but outside of the kitchen like this video. You are an engaging host.

[@mikedee8876]

[@nenylei1422]

You are the best Maangchi, guiding us & teaching us what to get & the kind of product.

This is such a great idea, Maangchi! Thanks so much for all these information! I love you!!!!

Thanks for taking us along! I bet that everyone learned a lot. I can't wait for part 2!

[@marypoppins123]

Your grocery shopping videos help me so much as i have found a great korean mart near me. I watch your videos, pick a recipe by you and then i shop,cook, eat. I did your korean coffee for my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend today. They lovvvvvved it. 😺

[@chantelwade3299]

I lived in Seoul 40 years ago and didn't appreciate Korean food. It was the garlic. My mother does not like garlic so we never used it. Over the years I fell in love with garlic and now I love Korean food. I found your channel and tried making Kimchi. I was hooked. Thank you.

[@meowitsmartha]

You even look like a tour guide! So cute! This was so much fun to watch, I can't wait to see part two! :D

[@NielsPausma]

Oh Maangchi! This is more useful then I expected. Next time I visit the Korean grocery store I'll watch this series again. Thanks! I hope you'll do a leafy herbs episode someday, there are so so many in the cooling section in the store here, and no clue how to use them.

[@kpcofvs911]

This video will change my life. i always feel intimated with so many selections and how to use the items properly. Well done, can't wait for the next video.

[@visas1227]

I have been learning from you for the past two years! Love the way you cook and i will like to try all.

[@hallyuniverse]

I love going to the Korean grocery store, I wish they had a huge one where I lived.

[@patricianavarro4653]

This was super informative! I loved it!!! I went to a Korean grocery store before watching and now that I watched it I need to go again. I'm excited for the next part.

[@johnnytries]

I love this! I think the hardest part of diving into new types of cooking in this case Korean is getting out there and getting the ingredients you've never heard of. Once you get your building block ingredients you can make lots of Korean foods! Gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce and sesame oil should get one started :) happy cooking all - thank you Maanchi!!

[@ebbygal1111]

I wish we had a Korean grocery store here in Mobile. We only have an Asian grocery store which is small but great. They have a good selection of ingredients from Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. But I was happy to find out that H Mart ships so I ordered a few things from them last month. :D

[@SageWolfStudio]

Ebony Arnold you can order ingredients online! Amazon sells all kinds of stuff, not sure about fresh produce but if you can get your hands on some planters and seeds you can grow a lot of veggies! I grow my store bought green onions that are now pretty thick at the base.

[@MyoshiC]

Ebony Arnold Amazon Freash sales korean stuff but its only available for Amazon Prime memebers

[@laxuslucy4eva]

Ebony Arnold I'm from Mobile too! Luckily there's an influx of Asian ingredients coming down here, but I see what you mean. Hopefully throughout the years we might actually get a grocery.

I recognize most of the labels from food shopping in Korea. I never managed to find enough time to learn to read Hangul, but I remember the look of the writing on the packaging.
