K-FOOD FIELD NOTE / THE QUIET DISH

NAMUL IS THE PART OF KOREAN FOOD THAT DOESN’T NEED TO SHOUT.

Namul is a broad Korean food category of edible greens, roots, stems and shoots, commonly cooked or blanched and seasoned as side dishes. It is an everyday structure of the Korean table—not a garnish and not a salad trend.

NAMUL ≠ KIMCHI

KIMCHI FERMENTS. NAMUL GETS SEASONED.

Both belong on a Korean table, but they are not the same dish. Kimchi is generally fermented; namul is usually prepared by cooking or blanching vegetables and seasoning them for serving.
