One of the most common side dishes in Korea is Kimchi.
I don’t make Kimchi, because our household doesn’t consume enough to make it worth while.
This is what I buy at the supermarket usually (3,700 won for 500g, US $3.90). This one lasts me about 2 months. You can make soup, fried rice, etc with Kimchi.
You can learn more about Kimchi from wikipedia

“Jang” is a kind of seasoning, like soy sauce (Gan jang in Korean), soy bean paste (Doen jang in Korean), or chilli paste (Gochu jang in Korean). Therefore “Jang Ddeok” means pancakes seasoned with some kind of sauce that I mentioned above. Its name can change depending on what kind of sauce, vegetable and meat you add in it.
Since I add sesame leaves the most, I will name this meal sesame leaves pancakes.

Man, my hand are stinging from cutting hot chillies. Fortunately I didn’t rub my eyes with this hand. If I had, my eyes would sting too. I used chillies for some extra taste for tuna pancakes. I love the extra taste from chillies, even if it is hot. (I am a typical Korean concerning food.)

I made about 12 pancakes with the ingredients.
Anyhow, after presenting the pancakes on the dish, I thought it would be nice to have dipping sauce with this. I made some dipping sauce (same recipe as last time, when I made dipping sauce for squid pancakes). With the sauce, it was truly excellent.
However you need to expect to smell like an onion. 
I used these for the Dipping Sauce
