238 INDEX By menu, by main ingredient

Just scrambled eggs, no! Green onion mayo scrambled eggs are the best!
- We have selected only the most confident honey combination recipes from among the numerous side dishes we have presented over the past 20 years.

Whether you're a beginner at cooking or a seasoned cook, what you want when making side dishes is the same.
The 'price-to-performance ratio' and 'time-to-performance ratio' must be high, and it must be so delicious that you won't get tired of eating it every day.
But I also want a side dish recipe that has a different 'kick'.
Because it satisfies all of these, Moon Seong-sil's side dishes have been called 'the best side dishes' until now.


The author, a food influencer with 20 years of experience who communicates with over 170,000 bloggers and 280,000 Instagram followers, is called a "home cooking researcher" because he helps anyone make home-cooked meals easily, deliciously, and colorfully using common ingredients, simple recipes, and spoon measurements.

Although the author can cook any dish, what he is most confident in is the 'side dishes' that are an essential part of the Korean dining table.
The recipe that actually receives the most support from followers is a side dish, and the most frequent suggestion I've heard from acquaintances and family is that I should open a side dish shop.


They all said with one voice, Moon Seong-sil's side dishes were 'awesome.'


The author believes that side dishes should be kept in a cookbook and can be made daily, so he wrote a book after a long time.
This book consists of three chapters.
In the first chapter, the author introduces the 'cost-effective side dish set', which is the most popular content on Instagram and allows you to make five side dishes at once and eat them for a week.
A total of 8 sets and 40 side dishes are made with ingredients and seasonings that are readily available throughout the year.
There is also a grocery shopping and cooking plan that allows you to make five side dishes at the same time, so even beginners can easily follow along.

In the next chapter, we introduce a side dish with a unique flavor using six ingredients that are always available at home: eggs, tuna, tofu, fish cake, ham, and crab meat.
You can also find Moon Seong-sil's innovative side dish ideas, such as grilled tofu marinated in soy sauce, fried eggs cooked in ketchup, and a rice-loving bibim sauce made with tuna and spam.


The final chapter introduces a selection of exquisite side dishes made with chicken, pork, beef, and seafood as main ingredients, perfect for special occasions or when guests are present.
It may require a bit of investment in ingredients and cooking time, but you will be able to make a delicious and filling side dish that everyone will give a thumbs up to.

In the appendix, we introduce side dishes and stir-fried dishes that can be quickly prepared with one ingredient while setting the table.
These are super simple recipes that can be completed in under 10 minutes and will make your meal much more filling.
In addition, this book increases usability by introducing commercial seasonings that the author actually uses and strongly recommends, cooking tools that make cooking easier, and easy measuring methods using a rice spoon.
