Maangchi's letter to you

Korean french fries corn dogs 🌭 Spicy stir-fried chicken 🐓 and jjajang noodles! 🍜 #  [View in browser](  #  [[]  #  Buying flowers for my video shoot!  I went to the Union Square Farmer's Market in New York City yesteday, arriving later in the day around 4pm. I wanted to buy some fresh vegetables, fruits, and flowers, but it was very chilly and most vendors were packing up and going home already. I still got what I wanted! These flowers will be situated right behind me in the next video I film.   #  New recipe: Spicy stir-fried chicken with vegetables  [Dakgalbi]( is a spicy grilled chicken dish that’s a popular choice for friends who are getting together to go out to eat. When you order the dish in a Korean restaurant, they bring a large grill to the table, with a pan filled with a mountain of vegetables such as cabbage, sweet potato, as well as rice cake, noodles, chicken, and a super-spicy paste. The dish is cooked on the spot, which is so fun.  When I lived in Toronto, Canada, I used to go my favorite dakgalbi restaurant, "Joons" in Koreatown. The place was always full of people and everybody was busy talking, cooking, and eating at their tables. While we waited for the dakgalbi to be cooked we enjoyed soda, soju (Korean alcohol), and some side dishes. We'd also order a large pajeon (green onion pancake) as an appetizer. After grilling and eating, a waitress would add a bowl of rice to the leftover sauce in the pan and stirfry it for us, creating a bibimbap finale for everyone to share, hot off the grill! That's too bad that the restaurant closed a long time ago. But no matter where you live, you can make this dakgalbi tonight!   [Make dakgalbi for your family!Â](  #  New recipe: Noodles & black bean sauce platter  Another 1 bowl meal! This [jaengban-jjajangmyeon]( is usually served in a large platter in Korean chinese restaurants in Korea, and you have to order at least 2 servings.  If you are a fan of Korean dramas, you're probably familiar with jjajangmyeon noodles with black bean sauce, because they show it all the time. Everybody loves jjajangmyeon because it's savory and tasty and there are no pungent spicy ingredients. Yes, it's mild so that children and those who can't eat spicy food will love it too. This recipe is an upgraded, deluxe, party-sized platter version made with meat, seafood, and vegetables.  You can make this and serve it right away or make the sauce on a weekend and refrigerate it and enjoy it during the week. Just reheat and put over warm rice or noodles!   [How to make jaengban-jjajangmyeon](  #  New recipe: Korean corn dog with french fries  This crazy-fun Korean street food is a [battered hot dog on a stick encrusted with french fries](! It's easy to make, fun to eat, crunchy on the outside and a savory hot dog on the inside. If you never tried these before you should check this out, you will love them!   [Hot dog & french fries on a stick](  #  What's the difference between my 2 cookbooks?  I've written [2 cookbooks]( for a major publisher, both of them best sellers. I wrote them to work together, and to compliment my videos and website too. You can own one or the other, both, or no books at all, and still learn about Korean cooking. Many people have sent me messages asking about the difference between them. So here you go!  #   I wrote [Real Korean Cooking]( to be the essential guide to Korean home cooking. It has all the recipes you need to make delicious Korean food at home, including fermentation projects for kimchi, sauces, pastes, and homemade booze!  [More info & buy](  My second book, [Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking]( is bigger and has more photos than my first, and goes beyond home cooking. Of course it is full of homemade dishes but it also has chapters on things like street food and Korean Buddhist temple cuisine.  [More info & purchase](  #  Wow they look perfect!  Good work Goldeen! You made them perfectly!   #  Cecelia's dakgalbi  Cecelia posted her dakgalbi photo on [her Facebook page](. It looks so good so good!   #  Songpyeon!  [LiljaS]( made these gorgeous and perfect looking [songpyeon rice cakes](! She followed the recipe tightly but she added a few more fillings. The pine needles are from her mom's garden. Fantastic!   [How to make songpyeon](  #  Amazing messages from my viewers and readers!  My vegan viewer [Kari Min left a very useful veganizing tip]( on my corn dog video and got lots of thumbs up! Thank you, Kari! She said: "All I need to do is cover the Lightlife (or Beyond) sausages and enjoy a good Korean corndog!"  #  [Daniel left this message on YouTube]( and my heart was deeply touched!   "Maangchi!...My Korean mother recently passed away this summer and your videos give me a great deal of comfort and replication of the foods that I learned to grow up with and love….We love you!!!" I love you, too, Daniel!  #  Did Covid-19 make you learn cooking? One of my viewers left [a comment on YouTube](:  "...With this horrible Covid-19 you can't go in and eat in your favorite places, so I've been learning a lot of things during this time. I will eventually learn to make Kimchi so that should be interesting as well. Never too early to start learning. And I love your video's Maangchi, so many things I consider and wish to try!! Thank you!!"  #  My simple and super easy recipe for [pickled radish (chicken-mu)](was the 1st choice for one of my viewers who survived Covid-19!  "This dish has a new meaning for me now. It was the first thing I was able to taste after having corona!"  Stay safe and healthy!  #   I was interviewed by the LA Times for their [special section on kimchi and kimchi making in October](. They also printed 2 of my kimchi recipes including [chayote kimchi](, which I invented last year in Mexico.  I was surprised when my reader tweeted this and I saw it was a big article with a big photo. My Mom living in Los Angeles said that one of her friends called her (speaking Korean): "Oh, my! your daughter is in the newspaper, a very big photo!" Then she drove all the way to my Mom's house and delivered the paper. My mom was so proud to see it! She loves to be known as "Maangchi's Mom." : )  Stay safe and you next month.
