This is a common banchan (BAHNchahn - Korean for "side dish") that comes with most Korean/KBBQ meals and also often as a topping for a typical bibim bap.It's made this way with either mung bean or soy bean sprouts, but here in the US, it's generally much easier to get our hands on mung bean rather than soy bean sprouts.The traditional way of making this stuff is a slightly more involved process of first blanching, shocking and squeezing the sprouts of their excess water and then seasoning, but when I'm not up for dirtying a pot, a bowl for shocking, and a bowl for mixing, I just saute it in one pan to make my life much easier.The texture is slightly different, but you still get the same delicious flavor. And even if you're not making it for a Korean meal, it'll go great as a veg side for any number of Chinese or Japanese-inspired menus as well.

For Korean housewives, with "Korean side dishes", every meal can be easily prepared. I really like this "cucumber kimchi". It tastes slightly spicy and sour, and it is very appetizing.😋🎬👇and 그리고 YouTube Recipe Video:《Cucumber 오이무침》https://youtu.be/WWoOHRLBWyM

Namul (NAHmool) in banchan speak typically refers to vegetable matter made in more of a fresh (not necessarily raw, but as opposed to pickled or preserved) preparation, and often using leafy greens and sprouts. There are several ways to season namul. This particular seasoning is pretty mild, likely familiar to those who have eaten some Korean food, and suitable for making bibim bap.Certain veg take to this preparation better than others - spinach, bok choy, soy bean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, even dandelion greens and chrysanthemum leaves are all traditional. Though they fall in the category of leafy greens, I wouldn't use dark leafy greens such as kale, collard, beet or turnip greens - too tough and chewy.Another thing to keep in mind is the volume of the vegetables will reduce from a third to a half after the blanching and squeezing is done (more with spinach). You can use the same water to blanch all the vegetables you're going to make. Just have a colander and some tongs ready to fish out one batch before putting in another.These seasoning measurements are for roughly 2 cups of blanched vegetables that have been squeezed of the excess liquid and cut into bite sized pieces. Sprouts don't usually need cutting.P.S. The zucchini in this pic was made bokkeum (stir fry) style. I'll share that recipe another day.

A side dish I grew up with almost with every meal. A spicy Asian side kick to go with your rice dish. Enjoy!

Easy summer side dish.

Quick summer salad to fix when cucumbers are in season!

All thanks to Ms. Maangchi :) This is not my recipe. also known as “oi-muchim”.

Guys this is my personal salad because I like spicy food! And for me eggs with sardine and potatoes is great!! So feel free to add what you like. This salad is really adaptable💞💞💞💞💞

A perfect recipe when you need to use a bunch of cucumbers.Since the marinade does not completely submerge the cucumbers, mix occasionally for the marinade to season the cucumbers.It may seem watery when the cucumbers releases their water content, but this prevents the marinade from completely overwhelming the flavor. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Nacchi sencho

Generally speaking, cucumber kimchi does not hold up texturally as well as Napa cabbage kimchi, and you'll find that it begins to go soggy more quickly. Best to make a smaller batch (you can halve this recipe) if you don't think you can eat it within 2 to 3 weeks because there just aren't as many good uses for overripe cucumber kimchi as with the Napa cabbage kind.A common question:HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE/EAT IT?You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but slowly.P.S. Yes, you do see a few pieces of turnip in there. I think I had one or two that needed to be used up on the day I made this batch. ;)

"Muru" (물) means water. "Nen-myon" (냉면) means cold noodles. "Bibimu" (비빔밥) means mixing."Muru-nen-myon" (물냉면) means cold noodles with soup."Bibi-mu-nen-myon" (비빔 냉면)) means cold noodles dressed with paste such as gochujang without soup.This is "bibi-nu" (비빔밥) of cellophane noodles, cucumber and chicken breast.If you can't find thick cellophane noodles, it's fine to use the thin variety.It looks red, but it is not as spicy red as you think. Gochujang is very spicy, though.Check the spiciness of your Korean chili at first before use. Recipe by pegupepepe
