Hammer Girl does it again!

Emily Kim is a phenomenal Korean home cook, who has a knack for teaching. Better known by her web name "Maangchi" ("Hammer" in Korean).

Now 9 years later, Maangchi has 288 videos posted and has more than 1,317,204 YouTube subscribers, more than Martha Stewart, Alton Brown, Ree Drummond and Ina Garten combined. She is widely loved by her fans. Her recipes really work. Tonight I made her Honey butter fried chicken. It was beautiful. . Not only are her recipes easy to understand, create and eat, but her organization is easy and light weight. When I made the chicken, it was so easy to keep every thing in one bowl and then clean as i went.
Culinarily Maangchi is the greatest thing that has happened to me in a long time. I have learned that it doesn't matter how young or old you are. Seize your dream! She is 59 now and doing so well she had to quit her job several years ago to do this full time. Obviously, i am not interested in YouTube being a centerpiece of my life, I only wish to use it as a tool for the big picture.
