koreancookery1-3, Challenge 1: Banchan families Model answer: Banchan are "small side dishes served along with cooked rice" (Wikipedia, Banchan), shared from the middle of the table. Four families from the articles: - Namul (blanched, seasoned vegetables): e.g. sigeumchi-namul, seasoned with sesame oil and soy sauce. - Jorim (simmered until the liquid is absorbed and reduced): e.g. gamja-jorim, usually soy-based. - Jjim (steamed): e.g. gyeran-jjim, seasoned with salt or salted shrimp. - Kongnamul-muchim (seasoned boiled soybean sprouts): sesame oil and soy sauce are my seasonings, since the article gives no method. Others the banchan article lists: kimchi, bokkeum (stir-fried) and jeon (pancakes).
