Long before K-pop and Squid Game, Seoul street food put South Korea on the cultural map. Dating back centuries, Korean street food increased in popularity post Korean War as a way to serve up hearty fare to underserved refugees. Now, both locals and tourists alike navigate street side vendors to taste a variety of traditional bites, and Seoul native Jee Hye Kang is here to teach you how to recreate her childhood favorites in your own kitchen. We’ll learn how to make kimbap (깁밥) prepared with traditional fillings of beef or mushrooms, fresh vegetables and herbs, pickles, fish cakes, krab sticks, and kimchi; along with Tteokbokki (떡볶이) two ways – one in a classic spicy sauce and rose tteokbokki (로제 떡볶이) made with a creamy, cheesy sauce – served with sweet potatoes, peppers, mushrooms, perilla leaves, eggs, and pickled radish.
