In this 2-hour cooking class at OAVO Seoul Lounge, a cozy Korean culture space in Hongdae, you make three popular Korean dishes: gimbap, japchae and tteokbokki. Prepare the ingredients and adjust the flavors while hearing what each dish means in Korean daily life, family gatherings and festive tables. You cook the tteokbokki at the table and choose your own spice level, so it is easy to join even if you are not used to spicy food. Enjoy your finished dishes together and take home recipe cards for all three.
