A Hands-on Fermentation Exploration with the Chef of Michelin-Starred Danji

Discover the art of making traditional Korean kimchi in this hands-on class led by renowned chef and kimchi expert Hooni Kim. Using authentic ingredients (including Hooni’s own gochugaru made with peppers grown in Haenem, Korea), this class will provide a comprehensive guide to crafting two types of kimchi: napa cabbage and Korean radish. Chef Kim will delve into the science of fermentation, discussing the role of probiotics and how they contribute to their flavor and health benefits. Each participant will take home their own batch of kimchi, which will continue to ferment at home. Takju from Hana Makgeolli will be served as a traditional accompaniment to the flavors of kimchi.

Copies of My Korea by Hooni Kim will be available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
