Back To My Roots

I never really appreciated Korean food until I turned pescetarian. I never realized how many dishes can be transformed into vegetarian dishes. Most Korean meals consist of many side dishes called ban-chan. Ban-chan are mostly composed of some form of cooked, pickled, or steamed veggies. I love that the flavor profiles are all different.  Some might be sweet, some can be salty, but you can find many dishes that are pickled like kimchee ( spicy pickled cabbage). Korean ban-chan is awesome because it's so easy to enjoy. Most Korean market will have a refrigerated section stocked with already prepared meals. Don't be afraid to try everything!
