Highlighting this underrepresented aspect of Korean cuisine, Banchan offers 60 mouthwatering recipes for classic and modern banchan dishes so home cooks everywhere can get in on the deliciousness.
From namul (fresh vegetables) to buchimgae (pancakes), these tasty sides are proof that big flavour can be found in small bites: Smoky Gochujang Chicken Salad rounds out a delightful midweek lunch. Perfectly tender-on-the-inside, crisp-on-the-outside Hobakjeon (Zucchini Pancakes) are what dreams are made of. Pa Muchim (Shaved Green Onion Salad) is a must-have with a Korean barbecue meal or an unexpected pizza topping. And, of course, a favourite: Kimchi!
Use Mom and Dad’s Kimchi, a favourite recipe passed down through Caroline’s family, to make Kimchi Mac & Cheese or Creamy Kimchi Bacon Dip for a crowd-pleasing party dish. With tips on stocking a Korean American pantry and ideas for making banchan into a meal—add to a quiche, wrap in a kimbap, pile on a sandwich—Banchan shares an ancient and beloved feature of Korean cooking that will make every meal sing.
In addition to a trove of new and old recipes, Caroline shares stories about her background and upbringing as a first-generation Korean American. Following in the footsteps of successful cookbook authors such as Eric Kim and Andrea Nguyen, Caroline joins a strong tradition of authors passionately sharing their experiences and the cuisines of their heritage with American readers.
