What are Korean side dishes (<\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i>)?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Banchan<\/span><\/i> literally translates to side dishes, and are served in small plates before the main course. They\u2019re not appetisers, but an essential part of every Korean meal. <\/span>Banchan<\/span><\/i> dates back to the era of Korean royal court cuisine, where each meal is served with 12 side dishes, rice and soup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, <\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i> is served in both Korean households and Korean restaurants, and can be any number from two to 12 dishes. If you\u2019re looking to order <\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i> at restaurants, here\u2019s the catch: these Korean side dishes are not listed on the menu, and the set of <\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i> you get at a restaurant can change up every now and then. Legend has it that there are more than 250 million Korean side dish recipes! Some of the most popular Korean banchan include Korean steamed eggs, pickled radish, and of course, <\/span>kimchi<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the types of Korean <\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Korean <\/span>banchan<\/span><\/i> represents balance. Therefore, in any spread of side dishes, you can expect to find a variety of vegetables, eggs, carbs and beans in different colours like red, green, black and yellow.
