Korean Banchan Cookbook: 50 Easy Korean Side Dish Recipes for Meal Prep, Make-Ahead Meals, Rice Bowls & Everyday Korean Cooking

Banchan are the small Korean side dishes traditionally served alongside rice and main dishes. Instead of making one side dish every night, you can prepare several at once and build a rotating selection of flavorful sides that make everyday meals faster, easier, and more interesting.

This cookbook focuses on make-ahead Korean banchan recipes that are practical for home cooking and well suited to preparing in batches. You'll find crisp vegetables, savory protein-rich sides, sweet-and-salty braises, spicy salads, tofu dishes, pickled vegetables, egg dishes, and classic Korean namul.

Inside, you'll discover recipes featuring familiar Korean flavors such as soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, gochujang, gochugaru, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame seeds, along with ingredients that are easy to find or substitute.
