Use some vegetable sticks or slices like cucumbers and carrots.
Garlic: Raw garlic slices for those garlic lovers out there – just pop a slice on top of the meat in your ssam
Rice or noodles: You’ll probably be full after all the meat, but most KBBQ places offer rice and noodles at the end, just as an ending to the meal. Mike actually loves putting rice into his ssam, so if you like, serve up some bowls of rice with your KBBQ. As for noodles, well, who doesn’t love noodles? Super popular is naengmyeon, or cold noodles, because after all the heat, you’ll want to cool down with a bowl of slippery, savory icy cold noodles.
How much food/meat should I prepare
Meat
Plan on 1/2 to 3/4 pound of meat per person. If you have big meat eaters, plan on 1 pound of meat per person. If you’re having bone-in short ribs, double the amount of short ribs, because of bones.
Vegetables
Get at least 1 head of lettuce and 1 pack/bunch of perilla leaves between two people.
Banchan
Plan on 1-2 ounces of each kind of banchan and aim for 4 (or many more) varieties.
Rice
Make 1/2 cup of uncooked rice per person, which will give you about 1.5 cups cooked.
