Korean Home Meal Structure
Kimchi 김치 (Seasonal & Prepared Each Visit)
Kimchi is included with every meal plan and selected or prepared at each visit using seasonal vegetables and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Different styles of kimchi are introduced throughout the year and may be made in vegan or traditional versions, depending on household preference and balance with the rest of the menu.
Banchan 반찬 (Korean Side Dishes, Seasonal Vegetables)
A rotating selection of 3-4 seasonal vegetable banchan, prepared to complement the kimchi and overall meal.
Banchan change regularly based on seasonality, availability, and household needs, and are designed to be nourishing, balanced, and gentle.
​
Rice ë°¥ (Customized)
Rice is prepared using Korean home-style methods, incorporating white rice, mixed beans, and carefully selected ancient grains, tailored to each household’s dietary needs and taste.
​​
Soup or Stew êµ, 찌개 (Rotates Weekly)

​
Yori 요리 (Main Dish & Alternate Meal Structure)
Depending on the balance of the meal, a yori (main dish) may be included.
Some meals lean toward a wider selection of banchan, while others feature a heartier yori, with the table adjusted accordingly.
Upon request, the meal may also be prepared as a standalone Korean comfort dish served with kimchi, instead of the usual rice, soup, and banchan combination.
Dishes may include:

(Mandu) -dumplings
(Jeon) -savory pan-fried dishes
(Bibimbap) -mixed rice bowl with seasoned vegetables and optional protein

​
​​​Korean Healing Tea Pairing 차
Meals may be paired with gentle Korean teas such as Bori-cha, Hyeonmi-cha, Daechu-cha, or mild Saenggang-cha, served hot or cold depending on the season and selected to support warmth, digestion, and balance.
​
Optional Meat Dish ê³ ê¸° (By Request)
Plant-based meals are designed to be complete and satisfying on their own.
For households that prefer it, a thoughtfully prepared Korean meat dish may be added upon request.
Because meat dishes require additional planning and preparation, this option is offered at an additional charge.
