Continue the fun in Korean Street Food: Part Two with an evening devoted to crispy, savory, and refreshing favorites found at bustling street stalls.
In this hands-on class, we’ll start with twigim, Korea’s beloved assortment of deep-fried treats, learning proper battering and frying techniques for light, crunchy results. Next, we’ll make so-tteok skewers—chewy rice cakes and savory sausage glazed and grilled to create the perfect sweet-savory bite. To balance the richness of the menu, we’ll end the evening with a refreshing strawberry cheong, a traditional fruit syrup drink. Depending on what’s in season in May, we’ll explore other fruits as well, creating a cooling beverage to refresh and reset after the indulgence.
Students will work in small groups, explore ingredients and techniques, and enjoy the meal together in true Korean street-food style.
This is a participatory cooking class. A small group of 3-4 students will work together at each cooking station to complete the recipe on the night's menu.
