All advertisement companies should learn something from you. You give us a part of you. You’re truly sharing and you’re the reason why I started eating Korean food. Very genuine. I hope those store appreciate you. Thank you for sharing

The brands that she uses should send free product for her to use as she's always plugging them. It goes to show she is not driven by money/profit but she has genuine love for Korean food and she wants everyone/anyone to know. She is like a Korean Julia Childs. Those ppl are so lucky to get the Maangchi shopping experience. Love your work Maangchi ❤❤❤❤

This is so helpful. I can read hangul better now, but the reason this is really helpful is because culturally I don’t know the variety of reasons korean ingredients are sold for, like cutting down time versus improving flavor or lowering cost.

근데 조금 잘못된 정보나 선정시 고려할 진짜 중요한 정보는 전달하지 못하셨네요. 비난이 아니라 제가 아는 정보를 조금 나누고자 합니다. 한가지만 말씀드리면, 고추가루는 가늘게 빻을수록 밝아지는것이기에 색이 진하면 더 굵은 입자라고 볼수있습니다. 똑같은 고추를 갈아도 간 정도에 따라 밝기가 달라지므로 말씀하신것은 잘못된 정보입니다. 김치 담그는 용인지, 그냥 평소에 사용하는것인지 등등에 따라 입자의 크기를 다르게해서 판매합니다. 입자가 틀린걸 사용하면 최고의 맛을 내기는 어렵고요. 고추장도 말씀해주신 내용보다 성분 함량등을 보고 선택해야하는데 글이 길어져서 힘이 드니 한번 알아보시면 좋겠어요. 좀 아쉬운 내용들이라 좋아요 하지 못해 죄송합니다.

[@LincolnRon]

I live in the USA and I was impressed by how huge the store is. Most like;y it's in a very big city like LA, Chicago, or NYC. Most Asian grocery stores in the USA just has a Korean section. And the aisles are rarely that wide. It's usually in larger cities (Over 100,000 people.) that you see specific Korean (Or any other country.) grocery stores. Although you will see Vietnamese groceries is a lot of small towns since so many Vietnamese refugees were settled in small towns throughout the USA.

Maangchi sometimes I see that you use different containers to store items like soy sauce, hot pepper flakes, sesame oil, sesame seeds, kimchi, and all that stuff, so I know there are a lot of items and spices but I would like to know if you can make a video to show us what type of containers we can use for some of this items, how and where to store them and for how long? This videos are so helpful, thanks!

[@Qattube]

Jorge Perales I think you might find more info on her blog. Also most of the time she usually mentions where she stores it when she makes certain things. For dry spices, like pepper flakes and roasted seaweed, she usually puts it in the freezer in a sealed or knotted bag to keep it fresh, and I think for fermented sauces like doenjang and the like she just keeps it in a container with a plastic film touching the surface and store it in a fridge. But that's what I kind of gleaned from all the videos I watched.

Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to shop with us! Even though I've taught myself how to read the Korean Hangul (which REALLY helps when you're shopping) I wasn't always sure what the differences were between the varieties of soy sauces, pastes and spices. Google Translate partially did the job but going through the specifics with you in this video is way better and it has clarified a lot of the questions that I had in mind. This is now my go-to video the next time I need to remind myself of what to get. There are several Korean grocery stores fortunately dotted around my city, but not as MASSIVE as the ones you have in the States! If we have a serious store like that here I probably won't be getting out anytime soon. :)

Last time, before Korea was known, we can barely find any Korean products in Malaysia. But after the booming of Kpop and Kdrama, finally there were demands for Korean products so now the Japanese retailers including retailers importing foreign products add the Korean aisle/section so now it's easier to find something from Korea.

MarilynSpook what city do you live in? I am in Den Haag, sometimes I see Korean brands in Oriental supermarket at centrum or even AH.

[@Marilynspook]

I live in Rotterdam, But that's why I said not an extensive assortment. I can still find plenty, but we don't really have many different flavours or brands when you're looking for Doenjang or red pepper flakes, do we?

This is amazing!! It's very hard for me to get around due to spinal issues, so this helps *so much!!* I can shop online for some ingredients I never would have known to look for, otherwise. Thank you so much for this ♡♡♡

[@bubbasmama2123]

What a great idea, Maangchi, taking us all shopping with you! I usually wander around, feeling slightly confused and out of place, but truly fascinated. I LOVE your culture's cuisine!

[@NekoNiji]

I never knew there was a korean grocery store in Hungary! Now i can finally make korean food! Im so happy

[@Maangchi]

Good luck with making delicious food! www.maangchi.com/shopping/hungary

[@katalinvarga4886]

Oh my! I'm obsessed with Maangchi's cooking videos and she inspiring me to go and try asian cousine (as my roommate is vietnamiese) and i like the asian tastes :) And i also live in Hungary too, however the asian products in food is pretty expensive sadly (as a poor university student it is hard to enjoy the freedom of cooking)

[@ryanwest538]

Katalin, there are many places to order online and it's usually cheaper. Does Hungary have Amazon?

[@nicol.7738]

Just wait until you see the prices loool your happiness will wane just a bit

[@TEE78SR]

I went to the international market today and got the hot pepper paste Level 3 for Myulchi Bokkeum Dried Spicy Anchovy used as a side dish . First time making it was So good 🤗😊🤗. I love watching your videos Maangchi...I have to cook my own Korean food now cause the only Korean restaurant in town closed by owner (who new me and my kids faithfully) due to a family death RIP Mr. Choi

[@jessicah3450]

Thank you! I get so overwhelmed with the sauce aisles at my local Asian grocery 😅. It reminds me of picking out a fine bottle of wine.

[@oxoelfoxo]

I had not idea you had to wash sesame seeds before toasting!
