What is a cooking ingredient?

A cooking ingredient is any type of food item that is used in the process of preparing a meal or dish.

Why is understanding different ingredients are important?

Understanding different ingredients is essential because certain ingredients are needed to create specific flavours, textures, and appearances in dishes.

Can I substitute one ingredient for another?

Yes, but you need to be aware that substituting one ingredient for another can change the taste, texture, and appearance of your dish.

Where can I buy unusual or exotic ingredients?

What should I do if I'm allergic to a certain ingredient?

It's advised to avoid any dishes that contain that ingredient or look for substitutions that won't trigger your allergy.

Which ingredients are considered basic or staple in most recipes?

Salt, pepper, oil, and a variety of spices are considered staple ingredients in most recipes.

How can I store fresh ingredients to keep them longer?

Different ingredients require different storage methods. For example, most fruits and vegetables need to be refrigerated, while dry ingredients like flour and sugar should be kept in a cool, dry place.

What’s the difference between fresh and dry herbs?

Fresh herbs have a more potent flavor and aroma but have a shorter shelf life, while dry herbs have a more concentrated flavor and last longer.

Why do some recipes specify using unsalted butter?

This is to give the cook more control over the amount of salt in the dish.

Why do we need to balance different types of flavors in cooking?

Balancing flavors is important for creating a dish that is satisfying and enjoyable to eat.

What is the proper way to measure ingredients?

Depending on the ingredient, it might be measured by volume (cups, tablespoons, etc.) or by weight. Following the recipe is key.

Does the quality of the ingredient affect the final dish?

Yes, high-quality ingredients are more flavorful and can significantly improve the taste of your dish.

How do I know when to add certain ingredients?

As a general rule, ingredients that take longer to cook should be added first. However, specifics will depend on the recipe.

Why do we need to preheat the oven before baking?

Preheating the oven ensures it's at the right temperature for your baking to come out as expected.

How important is timing in cooking?

Timing is crucial in cooking as it affects the doneness, texture, and taste of the dish.

Can I freeze ingredients for later use?

Yes, many ingredients can be frozen for later use, but make sure to research each ingredient to ensure the quality isn't compromised.

I put it in the freezer immediately after delivery and ate it a few days later. The other things in the freezer were frozen properly, so I don't think it was a problem with my freezer, but the ice cream part had melted quite a bit. It was just about to run. The ice cream part seemed quite thin. Maybe it was because the milk fat was low. As the bean paste part is called red bean jam, it has a syrup-like texture, which is a little different from Japanese bean paste. It was quite sweet. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure if I would buy it again... 3 stars.

It's as good as Okinawan ones, the difference is South Korea uses a soft chocolate not the candy bar style, if you're use to Japanese or Okinawa type. Flavor wise still all there and good price too, roughly what you would pay at a mamasan store back home, per single.

This is not cheap. I prefer green tea or red bean flavor.

Tasty, but slightly freezer burned. Or maybe a bit melted then slowly refrozen, making the texture similar to that of freezer burn. It tastes great and fresh though, so probably just a shipping issue.

Delicious. The ice cream is light and melts instantly in your mouth. The cake part is soft. The ice cream as a whole is sweet, but not too sweet. And it's a pretty good size. It's a good alternative if you crave for an ice cream cake, but don't want to spend too much or eat too much. 10/10 will buy again.

The delivery time kept getting delayed and the ice pack was too small, so I was worried that it might have melted a lot, but it didn't melt as much as I thought, so I froze it a little and ate it. It was delicious because I ate it after a long time.
