A small-group cooking class where you explore Seongdong Market, a traditional market in Gyeongju, with a local host and then cook a full Korean home-style meal in a cooking studio. Learn how to choose fresh ingredients at the market, and feel free to buy and taste side dishes or street food like a local. In class, start with cooking rice in a traditional pot and then make gimbap, tteokgalbi, japchae, kimchi pancakes, and sungnyung. Classes are limited to 10 people, and you take home recipes you can recreate.

Start with welcome tea
and a Seongdong Market tour

After a traditional welcome tea, explore Gyeongju's Seongdong Market, a favorite of locals, on foot. Your local host helps you chat with vendors, ask about unfamiliar ingredients, and understand how Koreans choose and use ingredients in everyday cooking. If a side dish or snack catches your eye, feel free to buy and try it like a local.

Cook a Korean home-style meal in the cooking studio

After the market tour, move to the cooking studio and learn the basics, starting with cooking rice in a traditional pot. Roll gimbap with freshly cooked rice, then make tteokgalbi (grilled seasoned beef patties), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with vegetables), crispy kimchi pancakes, and sungnyung made in the rice pot, building a full Korean home-style meal.
