Bright, tender spinach dressed in fragrant toasted sesame oil, garlic, soy and sesame seeds. Light, savory and refreshing, this banchan pairs perfectly with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes.

Tender, pale rolls of layered egg studded with finely diced carrot, scallion and onion. Cooked slowly and rolled into a compact log, then sliced into pretty rounds that are soft, mild and lightly seasoned.

Light, separate basmati grains lightly perfumed with toasted cumin and a hint of bay and cinnamon. Simple, unadorned and designed to sit alongside dals and vegetable curries without overpowering them.
