Funny you should mention this b/c I tried to get deep into Korean food culture by ordering all of these pretty little side dish bowls, and I do use them sometimes but not often. Like Kumaxx said, it's a lot easier to just put the banchan into little class containers with lids refill them from the larger jars periodically. The little white dishes aren't that hard to clean, but I admit that it gets annoying...not only the washing but how much to dole out, what to do if there's banchan leftover...if your guests think you're nasty b/c you really don't want to waste it and would like to put it back with the others (the ultimate double dipping nightmare...;) Or just have dozens of little Saran wrapped bowls crammed into your fridge. </p> <p>A lot of Asian stores now sell little covered containers (some with just heavy stone lids while others are more tupperware-y with seals and such) just for this occasion. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/so-many-plates-small-bowls#post-3630 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:59:45 +0000 suzan 3630@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>thank you kumaxx. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/so-many-plates-small-bowls#post-3625 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:52:10 +0000 kumaxx 3625@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>well... most people i know use a two storage system.<br /> a big container and a smaller, but still kinda big tupperware. who uses plates and bowles for sidedishes anymore except when you have guests?<br /> so we use those for a couple of days and don't wash them daily.<br /> anyway... most people have a dishwasher, so there you go. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/so-many-plates-small-bowls#post-3623 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:52:25 +0000 suzan 3623@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>hi<br /> i watch lot of korean dramas in that they show lots &amp; lots of side dishes served in small plates or bowls. do you really serve your family every meal like that in real life. if so what about cleaning dishes 3 times daily. how about if you are working mom. i'm realy curious.can you tell me secret.</p> <p>thanks<br /> suzan </p>
