About Kimchi
Kimchi is a fermented Korean dish, using a variety of vegetables (such as cabbage or raddish) and seasoning (chili pepper, ginger, spring onion). Kimchi is deeply rooted in the Korean culture and is far more than just a dish. Now the popularity of Kimchi is rising all over the world and the dish has been baptised 'hipster food' in a mirror of its new found fame.
What will you do during the workshop?
You will first get introduced to this Korean dish and learn about the versatility of Kimchi. There will be a selective tasting of different kinds of Kimchi, like Shiso leaf kimchi, cucumber kimchi and reddish kimchi, to get an idea of the huge variety. Then it's time to get your hands dirty and try it for yourself! You will be able to take home your own batch of kimchi with Chinese cabbage that is ready to ferment.
