Seoul street food put South Korea on the cultural map as a foodie’s destination. 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 the traditional way with a variety of different vegetables and proteins, including pickled burdock, shiitake, krab, fishcakes, and more; along with tteokbokki (떡볶이) in a classic spicy sauce with yaechae twigim (fried sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and perilla leaves). Also on the menu is the iconic fish cake skewers with a savory broth (어묵국), and we’ll round out the meal with a dessert tteok, pan-fried and drizzled with honey and sesame seeds.
