Banchan is traditionally made days in advance and it’s incorporated into every Korean meal. Make these small side dishes ahead of time and add a side of rice or an easy soup bowl recipe throughout the week and plan your meals efficiently. If you have never cooked with gochujang before, now is the time to give it a try! Gochujang is a Korean red chili paste that can be quite spicy and very concentrated and pungent in flavor.

Mealthy Tip

Gochujang is a Korean red pepper paste usually consisting of chile powder, fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, sweetener (often brown sugar or corn syrup) and salt. It is sweet, savory, and spicy and a little bit of gochujang goes a long way. You can purchase Korean ingredients in Asian and Korean markets and in online stores. Make these side dishes ahead of time and store them in resealable containers to enjoy throughout the week.

I opted to leave out the spicy pepper and added soy sauce to this recipe. It worked! Always wondered what to do with anchovies.
