About

Kimchi is a staple in nearly every Korean household — served daily and cooked into countless dishes. Kimchi is valued for both its bold flavor and health benefits. More than just a side dish, it’s the foundation of many classic Korean meals.

In this immersive class, you'll prepare fresh Korean kimchi from scratch, focusing on proper vegetable preparation, seasoning balance, and fermentation principles. Learn the cultural significance of kimchi in Korean cuisine, variations across regions and households, and tips for adapting flavors to personal preferences. 

You'll build upon this base by making kimchi-jjigae, a deeply comforting and savory Korean stew featuring pork, aged kimchi, tofu, and aromatics. You'll see how simple ingredients evolve into complex, layered flavors.

On the menu

  • Fresh kimchi.
  • Kimchi-.jjigae (stew) with pork.
