    Please help! A few weeks ago, I had lunch at a neighborhood Korean restaurant and one of the side dishes was absolutely delicious. I have never seen it anywhere else and I would love to learn how to make it.

    My problem is that I don't know what it was! I originally thought it was a block of soft tofu, but it might have been a set egg dish, or a combination of both.

    Basically it was a block about the color of tofu, about two inches on each side, with a sweet/savory sauce over it.

    I know this is not much to go on but I wanted to see if anybody knows what this is? Thanks!!

    There are literally hundreds and hundreds of styles of banchan with tons of different ingredients. Many people homemake them so it's not like the nationally known kimchi. You would have better luck calling the restaurant up and ask them what it is or wait until you dine there next time and ask (if that's easier). This is what I do when I like one of the side dishes. =) Good luck finding out!

    You're right, and I was planning on asking them anyway and posting the results here soon... but I thought it would be more fun to find out what people thought it might be... plus a good way to drum up new recipes. :)

    So, I will let everybody know when I find out but in the interim please make your wild guesses!!
