I love eating side dishes when I go to Korean restaurants. I even asked a Korean person for the recipe. Recently, I've started eating low-carb, so this recipe is sugar-free but tastes very similar to the regular version. Make a big batch and store it in the fridge to enjoy for several days.

・ While spinach is a winter vegetable, it's generally available year-round to enjoy as a seasonal dish at any time.・The ceramic bowl shown in the photo is a Mishima rice bowl made by Mutsuhiko Shimura.It's a perfect size for side dishes, and the natural pattern, gloss, and deep green-tinged color make it an attractive dish for colorful items.・ When parboiling the spinach, if the leaves are boiled for too long, they will lose their texture, and the color will darken.・ To drain the excess water from the spinach, after parboiling, thoroughly squeeze the excess water with your hands. If it's too watery, the flavors will not hold. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ta-Ke-O

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

Standard boiled spinach is fine, but it can get old from time to time, and my family members won't eat much.But with a splash of sesame oil, everyone gobbles it up.If you chop the spinach, you don't have to use as much water when parboiling. Briefly parboil for about 20 seconds. If you boil it for too long, it will turn mushy. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Ichigo latte

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.

I came up with this recipe using salt and dashi.You can also use pre-cut burdock roots. Please adjust the amount of salt and sugar to your taste. If you want a softer kimpira, please add a little more water and simmer for a longer time (for 10 minutes). It's also amazing with just the sugar and without the mirin. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

There are times when I only use soy sauce and bonito flakes, but sometimes I make it without cutting corners.Mizuna, komatsuna, and Chinese cabbage are also delicious. You can also boil and add enoki or shimeji mushrooms. They are tasty as well.If you heat the dashi stock, it loses its smell, so avoid adding it to Step 1.It looks delicious if you mound it generously. Recipe by msft5632
