What is a wansak?

A wansak is a traditional Korean dish made from fermented vegetables, typically napa cabbage or radishes, seasoned with various spices, garlic, ginger, and often fish sauce. It is similar to kimchi but can vary in ingredients and preparation methods. Wansak is usually enjoyed as a side dish and is known for its tangy and savory flavors. The fermentation process not only enhances the taste but also adds beneficial probiotics.
