Korean Side Dishes (Banchan)

An authentic Korean meal often includes a minimum of five different side dishes. Korean side dishes, also known as “banchan”, not only compliment the Korean food experience, but also adds unique and interesting flavors to this one-of-a-kind cuisine. A traditional Korean feast (pansang) is served with steamed white rice, soup or stew, and side dishes.
