Banchan aka Side Dish, and to begin our collection, here are a few Korean Side Dishes, that along with this beautiful crunchy Broccoli Salad comes up in mere minutes.
Drinks that can be whipped up in 5 minutes:
Blueberry Kale Smoothie, my favorite!
Even Rice Cakes can be made in just 10 minutes. {Not bad for something that used to take hours}!
To make this beautifully crunchy and flavorful Broccoli Salad, you don’t even need 10 whole minutes. You’re just 5 minutes away from a unique salad that can be eaten as is or tumbled into Bibimbap!
Ingredients
- 1 Head Broccoli, cut into Florets
- 3 tb Gochujang (Korean Hot Pepper Paste)
- 1 tb Sesame Oil
- 1 tb Sesame Seeds
- 2 ts Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tb Brown Sugar
- Black Pepper
- Green Onion Garnish.
Instructions
- Boil your water and salt it well.
- Toss in your florets and cook for no longer than 3 minutes.
- Immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and retain their vibrant green color.
- Tumble in all of your ingredients and mix well. Garnish with Green Onions.
- Serve immediately, at room temperature, in Bibimbap, or keep in the fridge.

Cheers to eating your Veggies! {Mom would be so proud} 
Love,
{and 5 minute fixes},
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
Thank you for this recipe. Served it hot with rice and bulgogi. It was a perfect compliment to the meat. Just what I was looking for!
Very nice!!
Just saw your bibimbap and now I started to drool. That’s my favorite Korean dish. Thanks for sharing the collection so that we can check/revisit your recipes this time. I love banchan!!!
I just had it for lunch, love the stuff!
Love the hit of heat in this dish. Would get more people to eat their broccoli for sure.
It’s the best of both worlds
Oh yum, that salad looks awesome
Thanks Kim! Have a great weekend.
you are such a sweetheart…so sound so good in the video
Thank you so much =)
You are SO adorable on camera! I love your enthusiasm and manner, it’s infectious
You are very kind!
Oh yum! All of these sound fantastic! I’m sure I’d love the spicy Korean paste – sounds wonderful
It is quite lovely.
Love, love broccoli and I bet I would love the spicy Korean paste. Great five minutes recipes!
Thank you =)
i adore korean food, and it’s always a game to me to see what banchan we’ll get when we go out to eat. my favorite, other than the stir fried anchovies, is a sweetish potato salad. i attempted to make it once at home, and it’s actually one of my more hit upon posts, and tho it was edible, it just was not the same as what i’m used to.
It’s like you KNOW that I have broccoli sitting in my fridge. AWESOME.
Hi Angie, Delicious quickie meal in 5 mins and 5 steps. I love it and good for full time working mother like me who still prepared 3 meals before and after work.
Love your video, you’re excellent.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog with your lovely comments. Glad to meet you and I’m following you, will be back to read your previous posting.
Have a nice week ahead,regards.
I love broccoli, and wouldn’t mind having a entire bowl to myself
. Thanks for coming over too, truly appreciate the support. I’m off to further explore your recipes. Have a great week! Cheers, Jo
That broccoli salad looks fabulous–and I love that it’s so quick to prepare.
You really do need your own television show. There is one with only 5 ingredients currently. Your 5 minute fix is even better! The fact that you already make your own videos and are a natural will just help you in showbiz
LOVE LOVE LOVE the video!! You are a natural at this, my friend
And the egg crate thing is a great idea!
Oh, I like 5- or 10-minute fixes! These are life savers when I’m having a busy mommy day! I have some frozen Korean rice cakes right now. Gotta do something with those!
YUM!
Sounds delicious
SO delicious
I’m a late bloomer to the veggie bandwagon (yes my Mom wasnt so happy with me growing up…hahaha)…& your post all the more made me happy to convert to a veg life!!

lol, poor Mom…I suppose the silver lining here is that at least you weren’t the “I’ve never eaten anything but chicken nuggets” lady
Hooray–I have lots of CSA broccoli now!
YAAAY!
i know this is gonna taste soooo good ^^ now to find some brocolli! hmmm.. do you think this could work with cucumbers? ^^
It would work with any veggie (my mom likes to sprinkle salt on the slices-wait, and squeeze out excess moisture for cucs).
What a great, quick dish! I love broccoli, too. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a battle between Broccoli, Kale, and Spinach for me. Thank YOU! =)
Oooh, this looks like a delicious way to prepare broccoli!
and super easy, I hope you try it =)
What a great way to have broccoli. I’d love to try that Korean sauce. Haven’t seen it here but will look out for it xx
I *think* you can get it online but eventually, I’ll do a tutorial on how to make your own =)
YUM that’s one of my faves. xO!

Mmmmm…..I love spicy veggies! And your broccoli sounds so simple and wonderful!
Thanks, Liz =)
What a lovely side dish. I just got some Korean pepper paste and can’t wait to make this. Very nice video and tutorial!
Great timing! =)
Mmm… Easy, spicy broccoli- What’s not to like about that!
Now if only I could meet a spicy man, LOL
Great dishes! I love broccoli – this salad looks yummy!
Thanks, Amy =)
Oh myyyyy~ that does sound super easy and super tasty too. I know the kids will like this one. They go crazy when I break out my steamer and start choppin broccoli. They just love the lemon peppered kind.
Added this to my shopping list to try this weekend; can’t wait!!
Sweet, spicy, tart and tangy… describing yourself or the dish ~.^
Tried your kale smoothie this morning and loved it!! My daughter and my father want me to make them one tomorrow
Your ‘Otai drink looks just as tasty too. Gonna have to try it out soon.
Thanks for sharing your delectable edibles Angie!!
Warmest Regards,
-Paul
YOU are a hoot, Paul!
we love broccoli! this sounds super delicious, can’t wait to try it!
Hope your little one isn’t too turned off by the kick (maybe reduce it to 1 or 2 tb, instead) lol
That broccoli looks soooo darn good. Love your blog, love Korean food.. You have fabulous style darling.
Says the oh-so-Ms.Fabulous! ^.~
Great collection of recipes!
why thank ya =)
I love Korean side dishes. Since I don’t have access to Korean food where I am, I’ll have to learn how to make it. Do post more side dishes recipe. Do you have a good kimchi recipe as well?
If you click on Bibimbap, it will lead you to at least 4 more and in my recipe index tab, there are a plethora of Korean dishes to choose from. Happy eating!! =)
I suppose I will have to break down and order some Gochujang online b/c I still can’t find it here, not even in my Asian market. Been looking for over a year! And I really would like to try this. We have a broccoli salad in the midwest that has a mayo-based sauce and has onions, raisins, cheddar cheese, bacon, and sunflower seeds in it. I think the Korean version sounds just as good…and much healthier.
It’s always tough to choose between a Korean or American counterpart. I think I love both equally =)
All things from the sea are great and many are good for us and tasty Angie.I have tried and love all the fishies, squid , etc you have here , LOVE EM ALL!! Very heakthy , colorful, easy dishes here Angie! Love the various colors( ESPECIALLY THE GREEN) on your finger nails in the videos.
OOOOOOOOOOO! my!! Naked broccoli waiting to be dressed ? Lol. Well I love it and all vegies. Not as a child I did not.
Have a great day!!
Les.
lol—I realized I said that too late. My Mama really began my love for all things veggie and it’s bc of her that I’m a HUGE veggie lover =)
broccoli is so yummy!
I’m a big broccoli fan
and broccoli loves you (he told me)
I am a big fan of 5 minute dishes my friend I intend to try a few of these they look yum
Cheers

Realistically, that’s all we have time for sometimes, huh?
