About This Class

Experience the bold, fiery and comforting flavours of Korean street food in this hands-on class. You’ll start with mandu—Korean dumplings—learning how to fill, fold and cook them with a punchy pork and kimchi mixture. Next, we’ll dive into tteokbokki, chewy rice cakes simmered in a rich gochujang sauce that’s sweet, spicy, and utterly addictive. To balance the flavours, you’ll also prepare a quick pickle salad of crisp vegetables, adding freshness and crunch to your feast. By the end of the class, you’ll sit down to enjoy a plate of Korean comfort food, and leave with the skills to recreate it at home.
