Intro to Korean Side Dishes (Banchan)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Korean side dishes or, “banchan” are just that… little side dishes generally set into small plates and shared amongst the table. Banchan is generally eaten with rice and divvied out during most Korean meals.
In this video I’ll share how I make 4 of my favorite banchan. Three of which are all very similar, they’re all cold, refreshing, crunchy, spicy salads and the fourth is an acidic, sweet, spicy soy pickle sitch. I know you’re going to dig this one.
As per usual, more information/recipe measurements and ingredient lists are all below - I’ve also included links to purchase some ingredients that might be tough to get at the average American grocery store. Cook awn! 🤘🏻Adam

man, the popularization of korean culture globally has just surpassed so many levels now. as a korean american growing up, no one really knew anything about korea and kids would always ask if i was chinese or japanese. but now our culture is so popular and is literally a powerful economic and political tool for south korea. 10-20 years ago, it would have been so strange for me to see guys like this have so much enthusiasm and knowledge about this
Indeed it has. Half of my family is partially Korean so it's been cool to see people learn to appreciate the food/culture more - including myself over the past 15 years.
Same here! I’m also a Korean American and people would call me Chinese or Japanese. I’m glad people are making it popular. I hope they make it super popular so they can finally sell Korean ingredients at stores bc I miss Gochujang
Much thanks to BTS!! 😹
Absolutely love Korean food and culture!
Preach. When I moved to usa like 13yrs ago, no one knew when i told them im from korea. Now everyone knows. Madness
when i was in korea i think i ate side dishes more than the main dish >.< love it!
I love the simplification of the sauces and explaining the reasoning behind why you're doing certain things.
The detail is appreciated 🙌
soy sauce + gochukaru + garlic + sesame oil/grain + green onion... all basic & essential stuffs to make banchan addictive.
Thanks for sharing :)
It’s nice to watch a video that gets to the point right away.
I’m glad I came across your video, it is fantastic, straight to point and easy to follow
Awesome banchan ideas. Simplicity, fresh snd crunch are key. Thank you for the tips. Will use these on our next Korean tabletop.
Thank you for making it simple, short and on point 👍👍👍👍
No doubt! thanks for watching.
Looks like a good recipe to try, thanks for the video!
i love banchan. Great job. everything looked yummy
I love this video so easy to follow and simple!! Thanks :)
Allow me to simplify your recipe by using measurement equivalents. It saves a lot of measuring.
1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce (90ml)
1/4 cup White Sugar (45g)
1/4 cup Toasted Sesame Oil (45ml)
1/4 cup Toasted Sesame Seeds (21g)
2 Tbsp Gochugaru (15g)
2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar (36ml)
3 Garlic Cloves (12g)
Substitute 2 Tbsp liquid sweetener if you are watching sugar intake
Awesome, thanks Robert.
Robert Sparling how do we know that your recipe/measurement is accurate? Are you korean?
Thanks for measurements it is extremely important to give measurements for us beginners
@@creamy78 After a while, you'll begin to see that exact measurements are not so important. It is getting the right combinations. For instance, although I do not speak for Adam, my bet is that he got his measurements by watching his stepmom and her mother mix the dressing without measuring anything. He measured what they put in, and it tasted good, so that became his recipe.
Recipes can be endlessly adapted. I leave the sesame seeds out of mine because the seeds stick to the side of the glass and don't make it to the banchan. Also because there is plenty of sesame oil in there for flavor.
Another idea I haven't tried yet is to leave out the garlic and add scallions and ginger to make the sauce more Chinese.
@@hatoriterry8198 No, I'm not Korean, and my conversion is not accurate. 1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons, not three. If you think that will ruin the sauce, then measure your little heart out.
I use a gram scale to mix this sauce. I weighed the ingredients. Now I just put my Good Seasonings cruet on the scale, pop a funnel in the top, and just start adding the ingredients by weight. I don't use any measuring spoons or cups that way.
But there is more. If I'm out of light soy sauce, I use regular, no big deal. If I'm out of rice vinegar, I use white. I replace the sugar with a liquid sweetner.
There are as many variations of the sauce as there are banchan dishes. There is no single "right" way to make it.
The 'master sauce'!!!. I live in Ktown (LA) and love kbbq. Everytime i would make it again home, I found myself making the same sauce for different recipes. This makes it so much more efficient!
first time I tried korean food, think it was 2013, i fell in love. I've never been an adventurous person when it comes to food, always been a picky eater, but the first time I saw kimchi on bizzare food I wanted to try it even though I cant handle heat.
Man,...my mouth was watering watching you chow down. Such a fun video!
love the idea of a master dressing - great video !
I have made these Bachas from this video several times now! They are great! The bean sprouts are amazing! Making them again today. Just wanted to review the recipe. Thank you! PS. The fish sauce on the bean sprouts is a must!
This is right up my alley
I need to try these banchan this weekend
love it!!!!
This is realy slick an straightforward
Oh man, Jenny Tian over on TikTok wasn't kidding about Koreans being obsessed with their side dishes. I love it, though!
I'm willing to give Korean cuisine a try one day!
I just discovered you and I've subscribed. This video was super interesting. I recently fell in love with Korean food. Thanks for making it look so easy.
Dope! Welcome. I make it look easy because (most of the time) it is with a little practice. Get after it!

mm looks good! makes me want a steaming bowl of plump rice!
I dont cook but I watch your videos just because I love your vibe.
Like your culinary vocabulary.
I tried the all purpose sauce today and it was really good! However, I personally think that there was too much sesame seed. I also put in a bit morr sugar and a pinch of salt. Overall, awesome video!!!
Beautiful recipes! Thx for sharing
Thanks :)
Great video. Keep em coming!!
Thanks Teresa! I got you.
I enjoyed watch your video, you really like Korean food! :) Thanks for introducing Korean food
I’m going to try this today!
For Korean dishes I don’t recommend daikon radishes because it is different from Korean radish . Korean radish is much more sweeter
Awesome 🤘🏻🤗
Omg radish banchan has been my favorite since I was young. I was also raised on Korean food but bc my parents were stationed in SK for a while, not bc of heritage. I eventually figured out how to make my own pickled radish. But I can't take it anywhere to enjoy because people always complain aboutthe smell. 😭 Do I complain about your stupid pickles?? No! Let me beeee!!! 😭😭😭
Would you do a video on best tabletop smokeless grills. There’s just so many to choose from it’s overwhelming.
Delicious!
The sauce!!!!! Soo good
Trying these Thanks! 👍🏻
These are the bomb. Evertime I go eat kkbbq I always want to ask for more side dishes.
이집 반찬 잘하네...
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ그러게요.ㅋㅋ
sending my support by watching the whole video ✨✨✨🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Korean side dishes are heaven. I lived there for 6 months and I was obsessed with musaengchae (radish salad). I want to eat it again so bad 😢
this is great and also your pronunciation of banchan as bonchon
Your videos really help my cookin dude thanks 👍
Ayy, no problem homie!

Thanks. Welcome.

fantastic tutorial! all my fav banchans ♥
Hey Adam you gained a new follower!! Your recipes are awesome any chance you can do fish cakes? My kbbq place in cali mixes it with their kimchi and it was the my fave side can you give us a video of it!
Welcome. That's a great idea. Perhaps down the road. I love fish cakes.
Nice video!
Loved your video . I’m not korean but I’m korean on the inside lol . I’m obsessed with Korean Dramas. Watch them daily . So I’m learning the language loving and the food . My patient I care for happens to be korean . I eat korean food all the time and living in Hawaii has me in the center point of all walks of life . Korean people, Japanese, Chinese, Phillipino’s, Micronesian, Vietnamese, Hawaiian’s of course and many more . I said all that to say this . I think your korean side dishes are spot on . The spices etc. You surprisingly, got the sesame seed oil correct . Because anyone who’s Korean knows that the brand you chose which is , Koha, is the best tasting one out there. You can’t find a better one . It’s so good a lot of side dishes only use that . And Koreans know their sesame seed oil. I’ve tried them all and Koha Rules . So thumbs up on the unexpected . I’m privileged to eating the finest tasting side dishes (Korean of course ), often . Now I just got to make it myself . I’ll start with your recipe . Thanks . I look forward to watching your other videos.
This is good
Very entert!aiming!😁
I was wondering how I would eat the Spicy cucumber salad at work without it going soggy. I can't believe I never thought to dress the cucumber just before I eat it 😅 thanks for the tip! Also how long will the pickles last in the fridge?
Wow so cool, If you cut the cucumber a little bit thinner. have much better than thick. 'BanChan:반찬 [ 오이무침 ]' I want make cucumber Kimchi now haha Thank you.
Do you live in Korea? Where I live there is a large Korean population and it has made me curious about the food, and I have tried some. However I also like to make things like Kimchi and Korean radish kimchi. I tried to make my own bilgogo a few times, and it came out ok, although maybe a little too sweet. Thanks for your video--I've been looking for this.
Thanks for this recipe. I just bought radish coz i like to start dieting. Can we salt the vegies first and wash them after 30min? Thenn pour the sauce?
Yeah that should do the trick.
Nice! But Kong namul muchim doesn’t have any vinegar. I would just make the seasoning separate for each banchan. ❤️
Thx for the info
No doubttttt. Thanks for tuning in.
Where did you get that cone strainer? Thats so cool!
You can grab it online on amazon or webstaurant. Or if you can get into Restaurant Depo they have them.
Hello i'm ur new subscriber..i love korean fudz thanks for sharing..this...🥰🥰🥰
Yo! Welcome. Me too.
Really... i feel hungary now.please make more videos for international dishes but veg dish please.Love from India
Thank you.
삶은 콩나물 얼음물에 넣어서 아삭함 살리기..찐이네?
Dude. Did you live in Kirea at all? How did you get around to make Korean food
You did really good, it,s time to rest, and start again, you can only get better.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
are there any Gochugaru powder that is less spicy?
Would love more korean recipes
I like i subbed
Watching as a way to mourn the fact that I haven't been out to a Korean restaurant AT ALL in 2020 because of darn Covid-19. 😞
Goodness...I haven't been in years. Last korean food I have had was at Hollywood Burger only because that location was owned by a Korean couple. They are really sweet!
I love kimchi
Thank u
No probs
✌️💚
Could you make us some Gamja Bokkeum & phó next?? :o
Is that knife a masamoto? At 3:30
How long can I keep the first banchan (pickled veggies) in the fridge for ?
If you don't have a separate fridge for stinky food (sometimes called a kimchi fridge) then do NOT store pickled radishes.
Joong Boo Market for the win.
Thank you ❤
Banchan reminds me of BANGCHAN from skz😂
In Israel we called it salads. We have salads from all over the world
밥이랑 먹으면 더 맛있어
Can you do radish paper please
Mannnn que buen video... sos hermoso
Adam are you Josh Weisman's brother?
I want that but I can’t eat that spicy sad😢
Dragon breath😂 thanks for the video!
Kikkoman is not korean soy sauce, taste differrent. I recommend to use korean soy sauce, called GANJ
ANG from different brands.There are two kinds of soy sauces. It depends what you want to cook or what taste you want.
I'll have to check that out, and yes I'm aware Kikkoman is Japanese, but I got it at my local Korean market and it was an affordable, bulk option so I reached for it. As far as inexpensive soy sauce goes, it isn't a bad option.
I'm Korean and my mom always used Kikkoman (from the Korean market) to make Korean dishes 🙄. Now that I'm an adult I do too. It's not even a big deal.
Surprised he didn't add mayonaise and walnuts. LOL
Everything has sugar? Is it healthy daily
