koreancookery1-3, Challenge 3: A three-banchan meal Model answer (a sample plan; yours will differ): Dishes: sigeumchi-namul, gamja-jorim, kongnamul-muchim, with rice. Order: 1. Put the rice on to soak (30 minutes, Chapter 2). 2. Start the potatoes simmering, since they take longest. 3. While they simmer, blanch the spinach and season it. 4. Cook the bean sprouts and season them. 5. Cook the rice. 6. Finish the potato glaze, stir in sesame oil, and put everything on the table with the Chapter 1 ssamjang. Served cold or at room temperature: the spinach and the sprouts (the dishes are normally eaten that way, but that is not stated in my sources). The potatoes are good warm. Anything with egg should be eaten hot and set all the way through. Keep banchan leftovers covered in the fridge; I give no storage times because the sources do not.
