Hi there,

 

I am Korean by descent but unfortunately I don't speak Korean but I can help some with the pronunciation.

chapch'ae = chahp cheh Hopefully you can decipher that.

 

An idea...... look on Youtube for recipe demonstrations that mention the recipe name. I would post one right now for you but my copy and paste function is acting squirrelly. I try to post more later.

Is the "shik'e" fermented rice drink? Yum. If so, it's shee-kyeh. Make sure you blend the k and the y. Lots of people have trouble with the k and y next to each other though I'm not sure why.

 

chapchae is chahp-cheh basically.

 

Korean consonants are clipped way more so that in English. They hear a rush of air at the end of ours that we don't notice.

 

If those words were written in Korean I could help more!
