Koreans often start each meal by saying 'Please, eat well!' because health is of
the utmost importance and goes hand in hand with eating well. Koreans also know
that good health begins with a happy gut. Eating is a communal experience where
banchan, the small but delicious side dishes that are served at every meal, is
shared, as are most of the mains.
Korean Food Made Easy able demonstrates how Korean cuisine is one of the easiest
to cook, requiring easily sourced essentials such as ginger, lotus root,
fermented shrimp, that you'll need to create your first banchan. Soon you'll
graduate to barbecuing ever-popular Korean dishes like galbi, or a one-pot soft
tofu stew, kimchee stew or dosirak (the perfect packed lunch), quick and easy
snacks, plus the simplest recipe (which works with just about any vegetable) for
gut-affirming kimchee.
