Experience the delicious flavors of kimchi mac and cheese and a variety of other banchan sides

Caroline Choe, a Korean American chef, suggests replacing traditional Thanksgiving dishes with Korean banchan side dishes. Growing up, her family created a Korean American Thanksgiving spread with dishes like kimchi mashed potatoes and kimchi mac and cheese. Choe’s new cookbook, “Banchan: 60 Korean American Recipes for Delicious, Shareable Sides,” includes traditional banchan recipes and her own creations like maple doenjang dip and hot vegetable anchovy broth. The vegetable anchovy broth can serve as a versatile pescatarian alternative to chicken broth. Choe also recommends her seasoned broccoli salad and smoky gochujang chicken salad as light and flavorful additions to a Thanksgiving meal. The recipes in her cookbook combine Korean and American flavors to create a unique and delicious Thanksgiving experience. Choe’s dishes offer a creative way to bring Korean flavors to a traditional Thanksgiving meal, providing a fresh and innovative take on the holiday feast. Whether looking to switch things up this Thanksgiving or simply seeking some new, flavorful recipes, Choe’s cookbook offers inspiration for a memorable and delicious holiday celebration.
