In general, a Korean meal includes a bowl of rice and various side dishes called banchan. The most common type of bancan is kimchi. Kimchi is ever-present in Korean meals. It is most often made with Korean cabbage. It can also be made with other vegetables like radishes or scallions. Rolled omelets are another popular side dish. They are made by whisking eggs in a bowl and cooking them on a low flame. They can also include ingredients like cheese or ham. Seasoned vegetables called namul are common as well. Typical ingredients are bean sprouts, spinach, and mushrooms. They are low in fat and calories. They are some of the healthiest side dishes on the dinner table.
