My Korean table

Korean meals usually include several banchan or aide dishes. For my dinner, I have cubed radish kimchi, bellflower kimchi, steamed eggplant with spicy sauce, stir fried anchovies with sesame seeds, and steamed eggs in my clay pot. These banchan will complement my miso soup and boiled shrimps(not exactly Korean) and white rice.
