what is coral grass in Chinese? I am learning how to cook vegetarian. In making kimchi, what substitute can I use for sugar?
thanks
Coral Grass Chinese name is 珊瑚草。You can use Licorice Powder 甘草粉 as a substitute for sugar in making kimchi. Enjoy your cooking! Cheers!
Is it supposed to be very thick? I wonder if I packed to much coral grass in my measuring cup.
Hi Seng Lau,
The quantity of the ingredients merely serve as a guide, hence, kindly make adjustment to your preferred thickness/consistency. Hope it helps, good day! 🙂
Thank you!
