Setting a Korean table

Rice left, soup right, shared banchan in the middle — then cook to fill the holes.

Build the rectangle

Each person: rice on the left, stew or soup on the right, spoon and chopsticks. Shared plates down the center. You do not need twelve banchan. Kimchi + one namul + one protein is a real table. See story pages for manners; this page is the geometry you cook toward.
