Kimchi
Learning
Kimchi is a traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables. There is growing evidence that fermented foods such as kimchi may improve intestinal health and as a result support the immune system and anti-inflammatory responses. Kimchi can also improve levels of good bacteria in the gut, and may support skin, brain and eye functions. Lunch included

Kimchi Pancake and Japchae Noodle
Learning
This session is designed for anyone who loves healthy food and wants to learn about fermenting processes.
With Kimchi, you can make a few other dishes with it. One of the favourites is Kimchi pancake (Kimchi Jeon or Kimchi Buchimgae) and is primarily made with sliced fermented Kimchi, flour batter and sometimes other vegetables, seafood or nowadays even cheese.
Japchae is a savoury and slightly sweet dish of stir-fried sweet-potato noodles (Dangmyeon) and vegetables that is popular in Korean cuisine.
Once a royal dish, Japchae is now one of the most popular traditional celebration dishes, often served on special occasions, such as weddings, birthdays and national holidays, or as a side dish (banchan).
