What is Namul? (나물, Korean vegetable side dishes)
Bulgogi and Galbi are the most famous Korean foods. They have quiet easy tastes even for Korean food beginners.
However these dishes are not common for typical Korean family’s dinner. If father watches them on the table, definitely he would say “i didn’t know today is special day!”.
Then what is typical Korean side dish?
Namul. it’s the name of all kinds of Korean vegetable side dishes. usually they are once steamed first and cooked simply after then.
that is why so many characters in Korean drama could make Bibimbap quiet easily at home. Just putting all kinds of Namul they have and mixing them with rice, sesami oil and Gochujang. That is the recipe of typical homemade Bibimbap.
Let’s ask Namul if you are invited to Korean family. you can enjoy real Korean taste. at least they are not spicy at all!
