About Korean side dishes

Korean side dishes, or *banchan*, are an essential part of Korean cuisine, offering a variety of flavors, textures, and nutrients. Typically served in small portions, *banchan* includes options like kimchi (fermented vegetables), namul (seasoned vegetables), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), and pickled radishes. These dishes often feature nutrient-rich ingredients such as vegetables, seaweed, tofu, and legumes, with flavor profiles enhanced by garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili paste. Many *banchan* are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and probiotics, making them a healthy complement to meals. However, some dishes may be high in sodium or use added sugars and oils, so moderation is key. Rooted in Korean tradition, each dish contributes to a vibrant, balanced diet that supports gut health and overall wellness.
