your favorite pan'chan

[kasia]

korean food may actually be the reason i moved to k-town. i am particularly in love with the side dishes ("pan'chan" in korean).

my favorites are soybean sprouts, spinach, kim chee radish, and chap chae. i can totally live off those and rice...or even without rice :) in fact, i often eat kim chee straight from the jar. :ph34r: the raw oysters dish is kinda ick.


if any of you want recipes, speak up and i'll post 'em here.

kasie. you're so funny, acorn jelly!!
i can't believe you know.

i can have a whole meal with just that one dish.

I am in love with kimchee pancakes.

[applehead]

stop whining about the kimchi pancakes.

[ism]

I need such a schooling. The question doesn't even make sense to me. Some kind of appetizer or a side dish?

Meena is giving me the recipe for kimchi pancakes! Look for it on F & T later!

Ism, when you go for korean bbq or just korean food, they usually bring out a wide array of side dishes for you to snack on or to enhance your meals. The ones in the poll are some of them.

you mean the kind you dip into hot sauce?

what about the onions that you dip into the black bean sauce? :)

[kimpossible]

Holy smokes. I don't know squat about Korean food. Other than the karubi burger I had in McD's Japan and kim chi.

[angel nympho]

I like... "mook" too. :D

I thought the onions were Chinese. The only time my family eats them is in Chinese restaurants.

what is "mook"? sorry, i don't know what most of the dishes on the list are called in korean -- maybe you can help out?

i have noticed that the onion side dish is served in korean-chinese restaurants, but also in korean restaurants, too. i've seen them in chinese restaurants only only about a couple occasions.


apple: yum. toasted seaweed is good. the other dish i'm talking about has raw seaweed that you dip into hot chili sauce. i've never tried it though.

[SunWuKong]

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb Bean sprouts
1 t Salt -- or to taste
2 tb Sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1 pn Cayenne pepper, optional
1/4 c Finely chopped green onions

Clean the bean sprouts. Drop into boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Drain well. Return to the pan. Stir in the salt, sesame seeds, sesame oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and green onions. Simmer 2 minute. Serve hot or cold.

*remember to buy soybean sprouts and not regular bean sprouts. i made the mistake of buying regular bean sprouts my first time, and it just doesn't taste as good.

[kimchee63]

How about those seasoned Perilla leaves they sell in a can? They're stacked right on top of each other, so you just peel one off and eat it with rice.

Man. I'm hungry and it's only 10:45 am.

[applehead]

hey iris.
here's the recipe.
found it on the web.
hope it tastes good.

ingredients for pancake
1/2 of cabbage head or i'm guessing about 2 cups
100g of scallions
3 cups of flour
1 egg
sesame oil
sugar

ingredients for dipping sauce
2 tablespoons of soysauce
1 tablespoon of vinegar
sugar to taste

directions
1. shake off excess ingredients from kimchi.
2. tear it apart in long strips
3. add sesame oil and sugar, mix well
4. let it sit.
5. add flour, egg and water.
6. heat pan and add oil
7. spread the flour mixture then top it with the kimchee and scallion
8. turn it over when it gets golden

okay. so, i say you don't really need to mix the kimchee with sesame oil and sugar
and you can also just add the kimchee to the flour mixture then pan fry it.
so it's easier.
and they don't say how much water but you have to add enough water
so it's REALLY watery.
and yes. the kimchee should be really fermented.
you can also rinse the kimchee in water if it's too spicy.

mook is acorn jelly.
well, there's two types
the acorn jelly is the brown one.
and the white one, i don't know what it's made out of.

the recipe kasie gave can be used for just about every
"na mool" dish. kekeke

Dude, I don't even know what half of the stuff you are talking about is. I guess when you are used to hearing Korean names then the english makes no sense. Like.. Dolsot Bibbimbap for example.. If you said stone bowl mixed wegetables and rice I wouldnt know what the hell you are talking about.


Furthermore spinach doesnt even grow in Korea until fairly recently.

If you are talking about some type of namul, then it's not spinach, but the green of some other root.

And I don't think you can call Kimchi a panchan, i mean, it technicaly is something to be eaten with rice.. but... It's like mandatory. All the other panchan is not mandatory.

Speaking of kimchi, I need to go to K-town in Tokyo. This Japanese imitation watered down sweet cabbage is horrible!!!!

[kasia]

my new favorite: doragi. can someone please tell me what 'ragi' is?

nm - i just found out - it's a root!
