South Korean Banchan (Side Dishes)

South Korean banchan are side dishes that are often served with a meal. They are known for the large number of them. Koreans also cook each dish individually to ensure the proper cooking time and seasoning is applied to each dish. This takes a bit of patience but totally worth the effort. I made five different sides to enjoy with the galbi (BBQ) and as a bonus with the leftovers, I made their famous dish called bibimbap for lunch the next day.
