Die Welt der Banchan - "koreanische Tapas"

In the organizer's words:

Cooking course in German
The world of banchan - Korean tapas
Bibimbap and banchan: Korea's classics
with Eun-Young Cho

Banchan (반찬) are versatile side dishes that really complete a Korean meal.

Unlike in Western cuisine, where a main dish often takes center stage, a classic Korean meal consists of many components that are served and shared together - and this is where banchan play a central role. In Korean food culture, banchan are not just an accessory but an integral part of the menu and can be salty, sweet, sour, spicy, savory, mild, crunchy or soft. All taste buds are stimulated!

In this course, we will cook vegetarian banchan together and then prepare bibimbap with some of them.
