    She’s like the OG of Korean food videos

  3. NoResponsibility8107

    Her food looks “SO delicious “🤤

    I’ve watched her for years. Fun fact, her name maangchi – which is korean for hammer – comes from her time playing mmorpgs where she played a tank. I forget the name of it, but it wasn’t wow. I think it was guild wars?

    I used her Korean fried chicken recipe maybe tenyears ago and have not looked back

    She’s got the best recipes bar none.

    She and I lived in Columbia, Missouri, at the same time, back in the 1990s. I’m sure I saw her at Chang’s market, but unfortunately we never met. Chang’s was the only Asian grocery store in town, and it was owned by a Korean family, no less.

    I have assumed that her and my Mom were from the same region in Korea. Her recipes are all so close to my mom’s.

    I absolutely love her. I swear by her cucumber kimchi recipe. My husband is so happy when I make it.

    I partially credit her for my love of Korean cuisine.

    I have a few of her cookbooks, the recipes are easy to follow and understand. Everything always turns out so good!

    I love her, she helped me learn and gain confidence to try recipes I thought were beyond me

    Omg I’ve been looking for this lady’s channel for years 😭 I could remember watching her videos with my dad when I was little but I couldn’t for the life of me remember what her channel was called.

    As a non-korean who loves cooking korean dishes, i learn a lot from her videos. Her cooking is very authentic and truly traditional.

    She reminds me of my Italian American grandma. She grew her own vegetables, and frequented old school butchers and bakeries, but also knew how to do anything they did at home (just about). She’s where I got my interest in foods from all over the world, and recreating them at home, and in sharing them with family and guests. I remember her table as the most welcoming place I knew, and that’s the feeling I get watching Maangchi cook. She’s right up there with Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Thomas Keller, and other greats who love to teach and started from humble/normal beginnings in my pantheon of cooking heroes.

  15. My favorite were her early videos, where she was very tipsy and funny, and it was really entertaining as she was starting out and figuring out her style. Maangchi’s recipes are totally solid and I really love how accessible she’s made Korean cooking. She’s a treasure 👑

    I love her, I learned so many successful Korean dishes & executed them nicely. And even experiment. Kimchi jjigae, kimchi fried rice, oi muchim, gamjabokkeum, I combined bibimguksu & jjolmyeon lol cause I was limited on the right ingredients. More to make & learn.

    Never watched her but I use her site for most of my Korean cooking.

    Bless your heart for remembering your grandmother

  19. I love her so much, she not only taught me how to make Korean food but how to cook in general

  20. supermarket_Ba

    I love her. I studied her cookbook for like 2 years.

  21. EverybodyPanic81

    Shes the OG and where I learn all my Korean recipes from.

  22. markisaurelius8

    She’s always the first recipe I look for and most of the time she’s spot on for what I’m looking for

  23. LilithNyx1

    I love her stuff too! Anytime I want to make a Korean dish she’s the first person I go to. Easy to make and absolutely delicious.

    My first dish that I made of hers was 김치찌개. I just remember that someone told me to try Korean beef noodle soup and samgyetang. I haven’t checked yet to see if she has a recipe.

  24. Bread_Punk

    I haven’t cooked Korean food in too long, but whenever I need to julienne something I think of her saying to cut veggies into cute little matchsticks to motivate myself.

  25. hobohobbies

    Yes. She reminds me of a grandmother I wished I had.

  26. lavie__enrose

    Same, I used to just lay in bed and watch her cooking videos for comfort lmao

    She retweeted my kimbap once — one of my proudest moments!
