    The Trader Joe's website has a lot of recipes to go with some of these frozen products. For example, there is a "Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice Stuffed Pineapple" recipe using the BBQ Teriyaki Chicken. When I run out of ideas on what to cook, I like to browse the recipes to try something new.

    Hii meimei! don’t worry you said hotteok correctly (I’m Korean myself). by the way, the hotteok is supposed to be more chewy not crunchy. I really enjoy your videos MeiMei and always enjoy when you post! If you ever have the chance to, could I review food places in the dmv area?

  • @stephaniewarthen
    @stephaniewarthen Рік тому +32

    The Korean pancakes are often made with sweet rice flour, giving them a mochi style texture ... that may be why they taste a bit doughy or chewy.

    Love the mee krob crispy noodles (vegan) at trader Joe's. It needs fish sauce but is pretty authentic thai flavors.
    My local Costco just got a lot of new Korean foods in the refrigerated and frozen sections. They also had a similar "cinnamon stuffed pancake " which they were demoing. It was very doughy and not chewy enough. I've eaten the proper Korean version and it doesn't really compare. On the other hand the mini red bean taiyaki were very tasty.
