In this beautiful book that comes out this October, chef Caroline Choe shows 60 banchan recipes, traditional ones, but mostly Korean-American types, as the author is a true New Yorker with Korean roots. In the introduction she tells about herself and her family and their bond with food.
The book is divided into two parts; part 1 covers the Banchan Classics, which is subdivided into different chapters in which the recipes differ by cooking technique (fermented, stir-fried and steamed, soy sauce-marinated). Part 2 is "Banchan From My Kitchen'', with cold and hot banchan recipes from the author's hand, with recipes as Kimchi Mac and Cheese, Asian pear and green onion kimchi, sesame egg salad and grilled kimcheese sandwiches. And of course the author shares which staple ingredients are not to miss in you pantry for these recipes.
The recipes are truly delicous and the pictures that accompany the recipes are sharp , clear and just beautiful!
To name a few recipes that stood out;Kimchi Avocado Nigiri, smoky gochujang chicken salad, tomato potato miso soup, and a classic bibimbap.
Overall, this book is a must have for everyone who loves Korean/Korean-American food, and for those who are new to it and just for everyone who loves to recreate these delicious side dishes at home!
