3. Banchan: A Flavorful Array of Side Dishes
One of my go to food compliments for Korean meals are banchan which are a variety of small dishes served with the main meal. They are usually served in small quantities which allow guests to try different dishes during the main meal.
Plenty of options are available including, kimchi, pickled vegetables, sautéed spinach, and marinated mushrooms. Banchan is perfect to accompany BBQ dishes for Valentine’s Day Dinner as it adds a whole range of tastes, textures, and seasonings.
Banchan is perfect for couples, as it increases conversation whilst trying out different new flavors together. Whether one prefers the spiciness of kimchi or the freshness of sautéed vegetables there is always something for everyone, and banchan just enhances the overall experience.
4. Kimchi Jjigae: A Hearty, Comforting Stew
For those in need of a soothing dish, kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) is a great add on to share. This hot stew is prepared with fermented kimchi, tofu, pork, and vegetables boiled together to form a rich thick broth. The rich, spicy, sour, and umami flavors of beef include elements suitable for a couple looking for something extremely warm and bold.
kimchi jjigae is classically known as Korean comfort food and is also normally served on the table during family gatherings. It goes nicely with Korean BBQ and rice which makes it an ideal recipe to prepare on Valentine’s day.
