I never really think about how long I should keep banchan. Usually I eat all banchan I find in the fridge. I never get sick though :]<br /> My mom said things like beansprouts and squash should be thrown away within a few days. My mom made squash yesterday so i guess i'd better start eating it &gt;_&gt;<br /> Overall, my theory is- if its Korean, its healthy! And its pickled so its fine to eat if its within a couple weeks? haha </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/normally-how-many-days-would-you-keep-banchan-in-the-fridge#post-245 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:43:59 +0000 unchienne 245@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Generally I put my limit at about a week, but some foods will "surprise" you. Take Jo's advice and go on taste, smell, and consistency. Mark my words, stir things around a bit before eating. I had a salted pickle banchan once that smelled great because of the heavy sesame oil I used, but one swirl with the chopsticks showed that they were a bit too slimey to be safely consumed. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/normally-how-many-days-would-you-keep-banchan-in-the-fridge#post-39 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:39:57 +0000 Maangchi 39@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>To Joe,<br /> aww thanks a lot!

Thank you for your good information. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/normally-how-many-days-would-you-keep-banchan-in-the-fridge#post-38 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:50:01 +0000 Jo 38@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Chien,</p> <p>for fresh raw ingredients this is the guidelines I follow :)</p> <p>(preservatives or food made from preservatives are a whole different matter)</p> <p>- cooked food (especially cooked vegestables) I put in the fridge as soon as possible after the meal or after making. (1-2 hours)</p> <p>- if I want to store the food for longer than 1 day, I freeze it instead of put it in the fridge(if it can handle being frozen?!) or just make smaller portions.</p> <p>vegestables and greens that have short cooking times i wouldn't keep for more than 1 day.</p> <p>BUT smell, look and taste your food. Always the best indicator:) if smell and or taste has changed beyond what it would taste like cold, I would bin it.</p> <p>(dunno if Im being too fussy, I study biology and we see some nasty stuff related to food, and often we take chances with our health without knowing it) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/normally-how-many-days-would-you-keep-banchan-in-the-fridge#post-34 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:25:44 +0000 Chien 34@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone</p> <p>How long do you usually keep "cooked" banchan (e.g. egg rolls, spinach with sesame, mushroom with garlic, etc.) in the fridge? ie. average shelf life? Would a week be the norm? Thanks ... </p>
