Yesterday, I went to visit my maternal grandmother and brought her a few of her favorite side dishes. For dinner tonight, I made a huge feast using the leftover side dishes and some fresh bamboo shoots I bought at the market. I made bamboo shoot sashimi and pot rice (sotbap), and paired them with some fish I bought last Saturday, serving it three ways: as sashimi, pan fried, and in a stew. It was such a delicious dinner! list of banchan: 죽순솥밥 (Bamboo Shoot Pot Rice) 매운탕 (Spicy Fish Stew) 광어회 (Flounder Sashimi) 간장생선구이 (Pan fried Fish with Soy Sauce) 마늘 장아찌 (Pickled Garlic) 보쌈무김치 (Bossam Radish Kimchi) 머윗대 들깨 볶음 (Stir-fried Butterbur Stem with Perilla Seeds) 애호박 볶음 (Stir-fried Zucchini) 얼갈이 김치 (Young Cabbage Kimchi) 도라지 무침 (Spicy Platycodon/Balloon Flower Root Salad) 마늘쫑 고추장 장아찌 (Pickled Garlic Scapes in Gochujang) 멸치볶음 (Stir-fried Anchovies) 취나물 (Seasoned Chwinamul/Aster Scaber) 오이지 (Pickled Cucumbers) 오가피 장아찌 (Pickled Acanthopanax/Siberian Ginseng Leaves) 초석잠 장아찌 (Pickled Chinese Artichoke) 죽순회 (Bamboo Shoot Sashimi) 겉절이 (Fresh Kimchi Salad) submitted by /u/yunnielee |
