The best brands should be notified of your channel because you’re so very thorough and wise as an educator for those of us who are truly interested in Asian food and health. Like the “Korean Vegan” you’re precise and tell stories along the way! I’m a master teacher, but I’ve learned and refined my skills by watching your videos. Thank you forever.
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
The 9:54 history lesson the lesson of culture is beautifully explained. I’m sorry that they said the soy bean paste is like ketchup that was insulting to hear. But the explanation is flawless.
Gochujang has been the ingredient that changed all for me. I add it to so much things, even western dishes now. Same with miso or doenjang but gochujang was my gateway to spicy food. Not just intensify like miso does, but it was something so new and amazing. It just adds a whole layer of love to food. I can truly say it changed my life.
Thank you so much for this video. I was trying to find a video or like a blog on this that helps me find stuff like this and I hardly found anything so I am so thankful that you posted this.
Thank you so much from this American/Polish/Irish gal! My first taste of Korean cuisine was kimchi that was made by a friend who was from Korea. And goodness she could grill some meat on a little $10.00 grill! That was 30 years ago and now I'm ready to make some wonderful Korean food!
This video is so so in depth and well made, and it ABSOLUTELY deserves more likes. You’ve just gained a new subscriber, thank you for this video and I look forward to more content!

Love the detail you go into for each ingredient. Especially the first pastes. I'm always in awe the artform of fermentation, and aside from the need to get it right, the pride in making the final products! And also really glad to know that a lot can be used in fusion, I mean, I know it can, but knowing what sorts of flavors they have and what that brings is super important! Literally have half my cart from an online store filled with korean ingredients at the moment hahaha. Can't wait to try gochujang for the first time!

I agree 100% Helen, that all too often Asian cuisines are over-sweetened in western countries. For instance in my city (located in New Zealand) popular Thai and Indian dishes are often ruined by restaurant chefs' heavy-handed addition of sweeteners. Completely ruins the intended flavour profile and makes it taste like a dessert in the worst way. I love UA-cam for being able to learn how to make Asian dishes from credible sources such as yourself, so that I can appreciate the true flavours (or the closest approximation, given limited access to some special ingredients) of these classic dishes. Thank you for this fantastic overview!
Excellent. I am Korean and late mom who was from the old country was so great with all this. Now I want to follow the proper basics of Korean cooking. Your explanation is really terrific. Thank you!

I recently discovered sesame oil, salt and pepper dipping for bbq meat. The meat I dont even need to season. This is similar to Vietnamese black pepper, salt and lime without the zing.
Yes! Korean eat non-marinaded grilled meat with sesame oil, salt and pepper dipping. I have a video on this which also includes scallion salad. U. An search for this on my channel’s search tab

Yes Kimiye, and you have picked a great Teacher! I really love how she explains and compare diverse products. Also, she keeps the reader in mind when talking about buying features, such as size and appearance while buying the items; not many Chefs here can claim that; yet she does this without comparing too many brand names; thus, if you are a supermarket CEO, you really have to respect that. So far as Chefs go, is my favorite Chef, hands down! (^_^) You 'll see!

I loved your straight forward talk. No beating around the bush. I am born Indian but crazy for Korean food. I kept in pausing video to add ingredients to my Amazon cart hehehehehe. This sunday I am going to cook a yummy meal for my kid.
Hi Madurai👋 Thank you for this week comment! Your kids are very lucky to be eating yummy homemade Korean food by you. Thanks for cooking Korean food with me🙏.

Hi Jo Reyes 👋. Thank you 🙏. One day, I hope I will have the opportunity to publish my cookbook. For now, there are lots of Korean recipes on my channel www.UA-cam.com/ModernPepper AND my website with written & video Korean recipes www.ModernPepper.com
I love you for being such a cuisine educator for non Koreans. It can be very intimidating shopping for Korean products either in the Korean I’ll of an American grocery store or a Korean grocery store. Thank you so much.
Hi Island Candies. Thank you for this kind comment🙏. It makes me so happy to hear that you feel more confident about Korean grocery shopping from watching my tutorial🤗
Yay. I just bought one of the ones you showed and I added it to my barbecued pork which I’ve been making for years and I used to put a little bit of hot chili paste in there but I put a tiny bit of one of the ones you shown I can’t remember the name of it. Sorry oh my gosh I just took it to a new level was perfect. I love Asian food and spicy food. Lots of garlic lots of vegetables and meat. So I’m excited to keep going down the list of good little secret weapons to add to my concoctions. Ha ha.
Helen, I appreciate the detailed way you teach and the way you inspire with flavor descriptions and reasons for your ingredient choices. Your excellent communication has opened up Korean cuisine to me. If you have a printed cook book, I want it, if not, please write one.
Thanks Laure🙏. One day, I hope, to have a collection of my Korean recipes published. For now, please use my website, where I list the written recipe for each of my UA-cam video recipe (written recipe link is listed in the description box of every UA-cam video). www.modernpepper.com
Oh Helen. Thank you so much. I'm ready to start my own pantry. Because my daughter has endometriosis and all its complications and had to drastically change her diet. To vegan, gluton free and no spices at all. Which distracted me so. Anyway glad to be back. I like a lot of others love and appreciate your classy Korean and fusion channel. Thank you for sharing the tips. Stay safe
@@ModernPepper thank you . I see you have several vegan recipes and you always let us know how to substitute. Thank you for your sincere concern. I love spicy. She can have none due to her bladder and colon. I had to learn how to support her and still do me.

Hi Martin K. So happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you🙏. If your local Asian market does not sell SsamJang, you can order it online. amzn.to/3iTosTm OR if you already have Gochujang (fermented Korean red pepper paste) and DoenJang (fermented Korean soybean paste), you can make SsamJang at home. You can adjust the taste by adding more sugar and/or less or more Gochujang. You can even add a bit of Beef Dashida to your SsamJang mixture to make it extra yummy. Here is my Korean BBQ Lettuce Wraps Ssam 쌈 & Dipping Sauce SsamJang 쌈장 w/ Bacon (+Vegan Recipe) K-BBQ Sauce Recipe. (This is one of my earlier videos, hence the green editing and me looking/talking so seriously because I'm so nervous inside...😂) ua-cam.com/video/u4MUnovC1j8/v-deo.html
Amazing 💜 Thank you so much 💐 I was searching like . . Is there anyone uploaded very detailed video about korean ingredients... OMG Finally I got you 💐💐💐💐 Thank you so so much 🫂
Love your channel. I love your foods. I am going to learn how to make everything by following you. I'm Hispanic and love love your foods. But it excites me to want to learn how to cook everything but first kimchi. Thank you

Many thanks. I started cooking asian food recently and korean food has a special place in my heart but I often follow the recipe as it is. This video gave me an understanding to the cusine itself and how to use the ingredients for different purposes.
I have just fallen in love with these ingredients. I have been adding it to everything. It's such amazing ingredients 🥰. Thank you for explaining everything
This is one of my favorite go-to episodes of your channel. I keep referring to it before I go to my fav korean market. Very thorough, well-edited video and I appreciate the history behind these products. THANK YOU!
Hi Helen! Thank you🙏. Glad that you enjoyed it! Not sure if you saw this already, but here is my latest recipe: Radish Kimchi Salad + Simple Bibimbap ua-cam.com/video/22aQQT9_CFA/v-deo.html
I used to live in Uijongbu, and there was the restaurant a couple of blocks down the street from Camp Red Cloud on the way to Camp LaGuardia. They had this soup with tiny little clams in it and what looked like jalapeños, and it was SO spicy. I’ve never been able to find it anywhere else besides that restaurant. We used to go there every Friday night for “beef and leaf” and that soup. We were silly but loved that food!
Heyo! Im the one who asked about soysauce a while ago in the group. And thank you for this video.🥳 It is very informative and i can't wait to fill up my Pantry.

(my mother and i have a major language barrier, which makes it a challenge to learn how to cook korean food). also, although i am a pescetarian, i do a lot of vegan cooking (for my husband), so i really appreciate the fact that you include vegan options. thank you so much, helen! you’ve got yourself a new subscriber.

I always look for Korean made products. Foods, housewares, cosmetics are always of better quality and I know that their facilities are fastidiously clean.
Hello from Belgium, I love Korean food so much, I still have so much to learn about the ingredients and which one with that I am so thankful for this helpful video thank you for sharing it ❤️
Thank you for your opinion on the sweetness of korean food. Nowadays some newer recipes and also prepared foods are sickeningly sweet, but my mother’s korean home cooking never tasted like that!

This was very good! I wish you said the names more slowly so I could learn to say them so I can ask for them in the store instead of taking screenshots.
Hi Ruby👋. Please check the description box, as it lists the names and product links of the Korean ingredients. And, www.modernpepper.com/post/koreanseasonings contains all the Korean ingredients included in this video (including phonetically spelled names). Hope this helps!
Oh thank you so much you're amazing and I wish I would have soundview 20 years ago thank you so much for all this information I'm Mexican so I'm not real familiar with the Korean seasonings when I certainly am learning and thanks to you learning even more thank you so much

Hi Helen, just found your channel and love all your videos so far. How many videos do you have so far? I hope you don’t mind if I ask for recipes and if you would consider making videos of some of my favorite Korean dishes. Here are some dishes I would like to see how you make them bulgogi,Kimbap, Bibimbap, chapchae , spicy squid stir fry, cuttlefish side dish, beef bbq short ribs (Kalbi), bbq chicken, seafood pancakes. Recently, I lost my appetite for food but, your recipes look so good it makes me hungry looking at them. I want to try making them. By the way, can you offer some suggestions of dishes to make with the ingredients like the Korean chili paste, pepper flakes, Kalbi sauce. I find I buy the ingredients make the Korean dish few times and then the ingredients sit on the shelf & refrigerator goes bad then I throw it out because I don’t know what else dishes to make with it. I waste a lot of money because I buy the bigger size container and then throw it out later because it’s gone bad. Also, I tried making my favorite chapchae dish but, after I follow the recipes I find online it doesn’t taste as good as my Korean friend’s chapchae I end up adding oyster sauce to make it edible. I know it’s not Korean but, it’s only way I know how to make it taste better. Can you please tell me how to fix my chapchae recipe if it’s not flavorful enough. What is it missing? Every time I ask my Korean friend for her chapchae recipe she says her soya sauce & sesame oil is homemade I can’t make my own sauces like she can get from her Korean mother, Thanks again, I will share your videos with my friends.
Hi Diane Wong! Thanks for loving Korean cuisine🙏.

Hi Madurai👋 Thank you for this week comment! Your kids are very lucky to be eating yummy homemade Korean food by you. Thanks for cooking Korean food with me🙏. Here is my Simple JapChae recipe (also includes vegan friendly modifications), if you have not seen it yet.

BTW, my family and I LUV Indian food. We say, once it hits the lips, you can’t stop eating Indian food😋💚🥰
please shop for Korean ingredients at Korean or Asian markets as most prices are much lower than on Amazon

@@ModernPepper Thank you and I will be sure to watch it‼️
This tutorial is beyond excellence.
Everyone should watch.
Outstanding and then some!
Aww 🥰 THANK YOU 🙏
I love you for being such a cuisine educator for non Koreans. It can be very intimidating shopping for Korean products either in the Korean I’ll of an American grocery store or a Korean grocery store. Thank you so much.
Hi Island Candies. Thank you for this kind comment🙏. It makes me so happy to hear that you feel more confident about Korean grocery shopping from watching my tutorial🤗
Hello, I enjoyed watching, thanks so much for sharing, have a great day.🤗🤗🤗🤗
🙏
Yay. I just bought one of the ones you showed and I added it to my barbecued pork which I’ve been making for years and I used to put a little bit of hot chili paste in there but I put a tiny bit of one of the ones you shown I can’t remember the name of it. Sorry oh my gosh I just took it to a new level was perfect. I love Asian food and spicy food. Lots of garlic lots of vegetables and meat. So I’m excited to keep going down the list of good little secret weapons to add to my concoctions. Ha ha.
🙏
This is one of the most informative and helpful videos I have seen.
Thanks so much!
Thank you 🙏 you are my cooking guru, chef 👩🏻🍳 Helen! So much to learn and so very grateful for your generosity!
Hi Betty👋. Thank you for cooking Korean food with me🙏
OMG... Helen I watched your Kimchi show and my mouth was watering...luv that stuff....and you are funny luv your passion 👍😆
🙏🙌🙏
Kikkoman Soy Sauce!!!! Yes!!!! That IS MY FAVORITE!!!!
👊👊👊
This is the.most informative video that I have watched talking about Korean condiments and ingredients for cooking. Thank you so much for sharing!
Helen, I appreciate the detailed way you teach and the way you inspire with flavor descriptions and reasons for your ingredient choices. Your excellent communication has opened up Korean cuisine to me. If you have a printed cook book, I want it, if not, please write one.
Thanks Laure🙏. One day, I hope, to have a collection of my Korean recipes published. For now, please use my website, where I list the written recipe for each of my UA-cam video recipe (written recipe link is listed in the description box of every UA-cam video). www.modernpepper.com
Oh Helen. Thank you so much. I'm ready to start my own pantry. Because my daughter has endometriosis and all its complications and had to drastically change her diet. To vegan, gluton free and no spices at all. Which distracted me so. Anyway glad to be back. I like a lot of others love and appreciate your classy Korean and fusion channel. Thank you for sharing the tips. Stay safe
Hi Rosemary! I hope your daughter's health improves quickly with a diet that best suits her🙏.
@@ModernPepper thank you . I see you have several vegan recipes and you always let us know how to substitute. Thank you for your sincere concern. I love spicy. She can have none due to her bladder and colon. I had to learn how to support her and still do me.
@@rosemarywatson8145 Ur daughter is so lucky to have a wonderful mother looking after her🙏
Here is my Non-Spicy Korean Recipe playlist. Hope it helps🙏

Korean seasonings ✌🌎🇰🇷☕😋 thank you, gracias
🙏
I wish my local Asian shop stocked ssamjang. Thank you for your valuable advice
Hi Martin K. So happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you🙏. If your local Asian market does not sell SsamJang, you can order it online. amzn.to/3iTosTm
OR if you already have Gochujang (fermented Korean red pepper paste) and DoenJang (fermented Korean soybean paste), you can make SsamJang at home. You can adjust the taste by adding more sugar and/or less or more Gochujang. You can even add a bit of Beef Dashida to your SsamJang mixture to make it extra yummy.
Here is my Korean BBQ Lettuce Wraps Ssam 쌈 & Dipping Sauce SsamJang 쌈장 w/ Bacon (+Vegan Recipe) K-BBQ Sauce Recipe. (This is one of my earlier videos, hence the green editing and me looking/talking so seriously because I'm so nervous inside...😂)

I used gochujang paste to make kimchi. I used other ingredients too. It tasted like the kimchi I like.
I love your videos, very clear explanations, you are my Korean Martha Stewart,Cheers
Aww🙏
I used to live in Uijongbu, and there was the restaurant a couple of blocks down the street from Camp Red Cloud on the way to Camp LaGuardia. They had this soup with tiny little clams in it and what looked like jalapeños, and it was SO spicy. I’ve never been able to find it anywhere else besides that restaurant. We used to go there every Friday night for “beef and leaf” and that soup. We were silly but loved that food!
Sounds delicious!
Heyo! Im the one who asked about soysauce a while ago in the group. And thank you for this video.🥳 It is very informative and i can't wait to fill up my Pantry.

i am so glad i came across your channel! your videos are informative and easy to understand. (my mother and i have a major language barrier, which makes it a challenge to learn how to cook korean food). also, although i am a pescetarian, i do a lot of vegan cooking (for my husband), so i really appreciate the fact that you include vegan options. thank you so much, helen! you’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Yay🙏🙌

Hello from Belgium, I love Korean food so much, I still have so much to learn about the ingredients and which one with that I am so thankful for this helpful video thank you for sharing it ❤️

Thank you for your opinion on the sweetness of korean food. Nowadays some newer recipes and also prepared foods are sickeningly sweet, but my mother’s korean home cooking never tasted like that!
Hi Sera WasNever. EXACTLY👊👊👊. Like your mom and most Korean moms, we prefer to NOT make Korean food taste sweet🙏

This was very good! I wish you said the names more slowly so I could learn to say them so I can ask for them in the store instead of taking screenshots.
Hi Ruby👋. Please check the description box, as it lists the names and product links of the Korean ingredients. And, www.modernpepper.com/post/koreanseasonings contains all the Korean ingredients included in this video (including phonetically spelled names). Hope this helps!
Oh thank you so much you're amazing and I wish I would have soundview 20 years ago thank you so much for all this information I'm Mexican so I'm not real familiar with the Korean seasonings when I certainly am learning and thanks to you learning even more thank you so much
Wow awesome video

wow! this was amazing...i wish i would have seen your video yesterday before going to my local Chinese market.... thanks so much!
Hi RAG fad THANK YOU🙏 Some big Chinese supermarkets will carry some Korean ingredients. Korean supermarkets will definitely have a full selection of everything included in this video.

Hi Helen, just found your channel and love all your videos so far. How many videos do you have so far? I hope you don’t mind if I ask for recipes and if you would consider making videos of some of my favorite Korean dishes. Here are some dishes I would like to see how you make them bulgogi,Kimbap, Bibimbap, chapchae , spicy squid stir fry, cuttlefish side dish, beef bbq short ribs (Kalbi), bbq chicken, seafood pancakes. Recently, I lost my appetite for food but, your recipes look so good it makes me hungry looking at them. I want to try making them. By the way, can you offer some suggestions of dishes to make with the ingredients like the Korean chili paste, pepper flakes, Kalbi sauce. I find I buy the ingredients make the Korean dish few times and then the ingredients sit on the shelf & refrigerator goes bad then I throw it out because I don’t know what else dishes to make with it. I waste a lot of money because I buy the bigger size container and then throw it out later because it’s gone bad. Also, I tried making my favorite chapchae dish but, after I follow the recipes I find online it doesn’t taste as good as my Korean friend’s chapchae I end up adding oyster sauce to make it edible. I know it’s not Korean but, it’s only way I know how to make it taste better. Can you please tell me how to fix my chapchae recipe if it’s not flavorful enough. What is it missing? Every time I ask my Korean friend for her chapchae recipe she says her soya sauce & sesame
oil is homemade I can’t make my own sauces like she can get from her Korean mother, Thanks again, I will share your videos with my friends.
Hi Diane Wong! Thanks for loving Korean cuisine🙏. To avoid sending you a lengthy reply with tons of recipe links (I have 100 video recipes posted to my channel0, I'm going to suggest the following:
