Banchanism

Banchanism helps you explore Korean side dishes with a camera, a visual encyclopedia, and practical food notes. Use AI identification when you find an unfamiliar banchan. Review the suggested match, compare alternatives, and correct it when needed. Each confirmed dish becomes part of your collection. Explore 135 Korean banchan with romanization-first labels (romanization, then Korean, then English), ingredients, allergens, nutrition references, cooking notes, storage guidance, and visual clues for telling similar dishes apart. Use the recipe library for ingredient quantities, preparation steps, and vegan alternatives. The etiquette guide explains refills, sharing, allergies, and common Korean restaurant questions. You can also share a banchan discovery with the community. Community posts are public, so only post photos and details you are comfortable sharing. Key features: - AI photo identification with confidence and alternative candidates - A 135-dish Korean banchan encyclopedia (unique after dedupe) - Collection progress for confirmed dishes - Ingredient, allergen, nutrition, and recipe notes - Korean dining etiquette FAQ - Public community posts for unfamiliar dishes and food discoveries Important: AI identification is a guide, not a guarantee. Check allergens directly with the restaurant or food provider before eating.
