A typical Korean meal usally consists of one main dish, generally meat or fish, and a wide range of tiny side dishes as appetizers or Ban Chan.
Kim Chi, a spicy fermented cabbage dish highly seasoned with garlic and red pepper, is served at virtually all meals and is probably the best known Korean Ban Chan. |

Two very popular meat dishes are Kal Bi, and Bul Ko Ki which are marinated in a delectable sause and grilled over an open flame. |
| Soups are also another Korean staple at mealtimes. A popular soup is Man Du Guk, a tasty dumpling stew in a seasoned beef broth. |

Another favorite is Bi Bim Bab, which usally makes for a hearty meal on its own, with just a few appetizers. Bi Bim Bab starts with rice in a big bowl, and is topped with assorted vegetables and mixed with a spicy bean paste. This dish can be served with shreds of beef or without. |
