May the Banchan Rise: Is Trader Joe's Pajeon Suitable for the Well-Travelled?

The Gochujang Gang celebrates a new month with 'May the Banchan Rise,' a four week effort to find the best widely available banchan and starts things off by determining if Trader Joe's and its pajeon are suitable for the well-travelled or if they should be rotated out like an unpopular seasonal item.
