Abstract

``Mippanchan'' is a Korean word for ``everyday dish'' that can be prepared in advance. This book covers over 100 dishes, including kimchi, namul, and pickled foods (jang-achi), which are essential to the Korean diet, as well as jeon and aemono, which can be used as side dishes or snacks, and hearty boiled and stir-fried dishes that can be used as main dishes. Introducing the exquisite Mippanchan. Although Korean food has an image of being spicy, there are many side dishes with mild flavors that are perfect for Japanese dining, and it is also characterized by the fact that you can eat plenty of vegetables. Both have a long shelf life, so it's safe to make a little extra. When you think that you have Mippangchan in your refrigerator, it becomes much easier to prepare meals every day. If you have some mitpanchan on hand, you can make a great meal on a busy day just by throwing in some frozen rice. Eat it as is on the first day, and on the second day, mix it up and have it as an evening drink. On the third day, stir-fry it with other ingredients or put it on rice to make bibimbap. The pickles and kimchi are served with noodles along with the pickled juice... Please try incorporating mippangchan into your daily meals.
