Korean meal is known to have a wide spread of side dishes or also known as banchan. These side dishes can be blanched vegetables or fermented vegetables such as kimchi. I made bean sprouts salad for my bibimbap, which I made for this month's "Around the World in 30 Days with ABC Cooking" theme for Korea. This salad can be served as banchan or side dish and it can also be added to bibimbap.
