CLASS DESCRIPTION
Join us for Tae-Gu Kimchi’s exclusive kimchi-making class. Founder Patrice and her mother will guide you through the art of crafting authentic Korean kimchi, offering a hands-on, take-home experience you’ll cherish forever.
In this intimate and interactive class, you’ll learn how to make traditional Napa cabbage kimchi step-by-step. After a brief introduction to the history and cultural significance of kimchi, we’ll dive into the process: exploring key ingredients, understanding essential techniques, and learning the importance of each step to ensure your kimchi is both delicious and safely fermented.
At the end of the class, we'll enjoy the fruits of our labor with some fresh, hot, fluffy Korean rice and other pairings. Plus, you’ll leave with a jar of your own handcrafted kimchi to ferment and enjoy at home! Vegetarian and Vegan diets are accommodated!
Kimchi’s popularity continues to grow, celebrated for its probiotic benefits, connection to the AAPI community, and as a cornerstone of Korean cuisine. We’re proud to uphold our mission to “Spread the Love of Kimchi” through these special classes.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
As a child, making and jarring kimchi for our friends and family at the end of every summer was our family tradition. I can still hear my mom yelling for me to pass her
the different ingredients to pour into the large silver bucket that she mixed beautifully by hand onto the crisp, clean, and fresh Napa cabbage.
Historically, making and storing a winter’s worth of kimchi was a survival strategy. Napa Cabbage growth was limited in the winter months, so families would make large batches of kimchi and bury them in the ground as their refrigeration method, helping it last much longer through the process of fermentation.
And while we’re not burying our kimchi today, Tae-gu Kimchi captures this beautiful tradition in every bite and supports gut health through its naturally occurring probiotics.
Let’s continue to ‘Spread the Love of Kimchi, together!”
