"Unique must try dishes that are famous in jeju island Korea Everyone knows to try jeju tangerines black pork and abalone but these might be lesser known.

"Ive LOVED spinach since childhood and this korean banchan is why This recipe makes for the perfect side dish for X people and is easily customizable to your taste. It also lasts in the fridge for up to X days and is best served chilled TIP: This dish is traditionally made with regular spinach NOT baby spinach. However Ive tested both and to me its fine to use either. Baby spinach is MUCH easier to find in the store and may be more accessible so I based this recipe around that TIP: When deciding on your portion a good rule of thumb is one bag or box of spinach will serve one person"

Everythings made in Japan and crafted by Japanese artists in small quantities I love handmade and handpainted pieces because it doubles as art Parking : free and easy Large plaza parking lot."
