Seoul Street Foods
Imagine wandering through the lively streets of Seoul—steam rising from food carts, spices sizzling in the air, and vendors calling out their specialties. In this class, we’re bringing that same energy and flavor into our kitchen as we explore some of Korea’s most beloved street foods.
We’ll kick things off by rolling up our sleeves to make Kimbap, Korea’s vibrant seaweed rice rolls. Ours will be filled with a savory mix of marinated shiitake mushrooms, pickled radish and burdock root, krab, sautéed spinach and carrots, eggs, and fish cake—each bite offering a perfect balance of texture and flavor.
Next, we’ll cozy up with Eomuk Guk, a comforting skewered fish cake soup simmered in a savory broth and paired with homemade Yangnyeomjang, a spicy, umami-rich dipping sauce that brings everything to life.
To finish our street‑food feast, we’ll fry up warm, sweet Hotteok—Korean pancakes stuffed with mixed nuts and cinnamon.
This class is pescatarian and contains nuts.
This class is taught by Jee Hye Kang. Jee Hye grew up in the bustling city of Seoul, South Korea, and still has fond memories of day trips to the mountains and picnicking with family. In her career she’s focused on intentionally creating community through food. Her work at the Ballard Food Bank has given her a strong belief in the power of food in nourishing the body and mind. She also teaches at The Pantry.

During this class, we will prepare and cook from scratch everything on the menu.
Throughout the process, we will pause to introduce new and lesser-known ingredients that are easily found in the greater Seattle area.
The small-class setting means all students are encouraged to ask questions and discuss potential variations for each dish that will make it more accessible and adaptable in everyday cooking.
