    Hi Aeri!

    Let me say I was so excited to find your website! I stumbled across it searching for the calorie count in yellow pickle, of all things! LOL.

    I am Korean, but was adopted, so I know nothing of Korean cooking, even though I LOVE eating it. I was ecstatic when I saw all the recipes that you have put up for everyone.

    You know, the way I always cooked my beef for the wraps was just with some salt, sesame oil, and some pepper, and I would then eat it wrapped in lettuce with rice, kimchi (bought from the Korean Market), and yellow pickle (also bought from the Korean Market. I am so happy to have found a recipe for the beef bulgogi. My family didn’t leave Korea until I was 5 years old, and this has always been our favorite dish.

    I am still moving through your website, and I am fascinated with everything I didn’t know. I just wanted to say thank you for such an awesome website!

    Dear Aerie,

    My best friend has referred me to your YouTube because she has made your delicious sweet red bean bread! I have been buying them from Oriental bakeries here, but now I can make my own! They are amazing!!!

    There’s not a lot of Korean restaurants here in Minnesota, USA. One of my favorite things to eat is Kal Bi and Kimchee Bokum. You should teach us how to make it pretty please :razz:

Thank you for making such a lovely blog to help people learn how to cook!! I was very moved by how much joy you bring to people through your cooking.

    Hi Aeri,

    I’m looking to buy a new rice cooker. Do you still recommend the Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer?

    Also, nice to meet someone who is Christian, who loves the Lord. May the Lord bless you and your family with more grace this year.

    God bless you,
    Daniel

    Hi Aerie!

    Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! The instructions, pictures, and videos are a great help!

    While I was living in Korea, I ate at a resturaunt called Dasarang. They had a fried chicken called “gluttonous chicken.” Can you please help me recreate this dish?

    Thank you!
    Gigi

      hi Gigi,
      Thanks for your comment. Sorry but I can’t guess what you mean.. “gluttonous chicken” it’s English name ?? If you have a picture or more detailed explanation about it, it will be helpful for me to guess what it is. thanks

    Hi Aeri.Thanks for sharing your country’s tasty recipes.I just love Korean food.But after my pregnancy I am little worry about spicy food for my baby.But still want to try lots and lots of more Korean food.My question is Do Korean pregnant ladys eat spicy food such as Kimchi,hot chili paste and chili powder? Thank u very much Aeri

    • Aeri Lee January 21, 2012 at 4:26 PM

      hi zola,
      At first, congratulations on your baby. Yes, it will be good to eat healthy food and escape to eat too salty, greese.. spicy food. In that point.. many korean ladies will try to be careful what they eat. but that doesn’t meat they will totally eliminate all kinds of spicy food like kimchi in their diet. So.. try not to eat too often..but eat sometime if you are really craving for certain food. If you get stress because you can’t eat something.. that stress can be worse than not eating. ;) I hope that you and your baby are healthy and happy. thanks

    Hi Aeri,
    I was wondering if you could post some Korean recipes for babies. I know you have a son and feed him Korean food and I would love to learn some good recipes that are modified for a baby’s palate. I appreciate your website and use it often as a resource for Korean food.

    Thank you,
    Robyn

    Hi Aeri
    Could you do a video on Korean Barbecue provided with recipes and tips. I had Korean barbecue the other day it was delicious. There was beef, marinated chicken, pork and you eat it with this really nice dipping sauce. I’m not sure what it is but I looks like mushed beans.

      hi Kimberly,
      Okay I will add it to my list and post it someday. the sauce is called “ssamjang” in Korean.. ^^ It’s seasoned soy bean paste with different kinds of ingredients.

    Hi Aeri,

    I have actually been watching your YouTube videos for three years now. I live in 대만 by myself and I do not eat out often so I rely on your recipes to prepare meals. Thank you so much! I enjoy watching your videos about cooking and also about Bryson. Your family is so lucky that they get to try your cooking.

    One request: Would it be possible to make a category/tag for healthier foods? That would be very helpful. :)

    Hello Aeri

    I am living in Hong Kong. I bought seaweed to make Kimbag. But the one I bought is a deep fried and grease one. The size is for Kimbag use, not a pocket size. It is made in Korea. Did I buy a wrong one ? Your advice please

    Thank you very much. Happy New Year !

      hi sasa,
      I can see what you got.. You got kimbap seaweed size one..but they are seasoned.. which means..they are not for kimbap..it will be easily broken.. since they are roasted and the kind for kimbap is thicker than those type. You cut the big size seasoned seaweed to make pocket size. So.. for your kimbap.. yes you got a wrong one.. oops.. Hope you can find a right one and make your kimbap again. Thanks. Happy new year to you too.

    Hi, Aeri,

    Thank you so much for your youtube clips. My mom just emailed me the link of your 총각김치. She said she loved your recipe. So, I am now introduced to your clips and I immediately subscribed it. Thank you so much for your work. I can’t wait until I move to a new apartment and cook following your recipe. My White landlord doesn’t like me cooking Korean food here so I decided to move out to live by myself~ Yay!! Just wanted to leave a note to say thank you!!!!
