Do you love Korean food? Do you like eating small plates and snacks, even as your whole meal? Me too! While most often served as a side, Choe’s Banchan gives these dishes the star treatment they deserve. It’s been a joy to create familiar, beloved dishes in my small apartment kitchen (like kimchi jigae, pajeon, gamja jorim, kimbap), as well as to experiment with new-to-me flavor combos (asian pear & green onion kimchi, strawberry-citrus geotjeori, and namul quiche, to name a few). This one’s a winner.
