About Korean side dish

Korean side dishes, known as banchan, are an essential part of Korean cuisine, often served alongside main meals. One common dish is kimchi, a fermented vegetable dish usually made from napa cabbage and radishes, seasoned with chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce. Rich in probiotics, kimchi supports gut health, aids digestion, and provides vitamins A, C, and K. Other side dishes include sautéed spinach (sigeumchi-namul), soy-marinated mushrooms, or stir-fried anchovies (myeolchi-bokkeum), offering protein, iron, and healthy fats. While many banchan are packed with nutrients, some may be high in sodium due to the use of soy sauce or salt in preparation. These dishes reflect Korea's deep culinary traditions focused on balance and variety, making them flavorful and nutritionally diverse. When enjoyed in moderation and as part of a well-rounded diet, Korean side dishes can contribute to a healthy, satisfying meal.
