What is Namul? ( meaning )

Korean side dishes called Namul(나물) are a widely accepted form of Korean vegetable side dishes. They are usually seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and vinegar and sometimes gochujang for spiciness. But today I’m making Namul using Japanese ingredients, so the flavor is more like a Japanese dish.
