Our favourite Ban Chan Recipes

Besides kimchi there are 2 side dishes which we particularly like

Seaweed salad:

First I make a salad dressing with rice vinegar, sesame oil, 1 clove garlic, salt, sugar, soy sauce, sesame seeds and some finely diced white onion.

Soak the seaweed as directed on the package, lucky is the one who can buy fresh seaweed. Mix with the dressing and let sit for a while before serving.
Very good and very healthy!



Steamed eggplant with dressing:

Wash your eggplant and cut into half down the middle, then cut into quarters.
Steam for about 10-12 minutes, don't let it get too mushy. Tear the eggplant into strips so that they soak the dressing better.
Make the same dresing as for the seaweed salad but wih more garlic and toss the steamed eggplant strips.
Very good, even for those who don't like eggplant such as myself. This works with zucchini too, not traditional but delicious the same.
