Meet a local host at Busan Station, shop for ingredients yourself at Choryang Traditional Market, then cook Korean home-style dishes in Busan Social Kitchen, a cozy kitchen up on the hill. Pick vegetables and smell the doenjang (soybean paste) at the market as you get to know Korean ingredients, then cook 2 to 4 authentic home dishes such as spicy stir-fried pork, doenjang stew and green onion pancake. Depending on the day, the class follows either the 'Mom's Dinner' or 'Grandma's Table' menu, and with small groups of up to 8 people it's easy to learn at a relaxed pace. At the end, you set all the dishes on one table and share them with makgeolli.

Meet your host at Busan Station
and shop at Choryang Traditional Market

Meet your local host at Exit 7 of Busan Station and walk to the nearby Choryang Traditional Market. Pick the vegetables for today's dishes yourself and smell the doenjang as you get to know the ingredients of Korean home cooking one by one. As you explore the market, you'll also hear explanations about unfamiliar ingredients.

Ride a local bus to the kitchen on the hill

After shopping, take a local bus up the hill to Busan Social Kitchen. It's a cozy space where you can cook, eat and talk together as if you'd known each other for years.

Cook 2 to 4 authentic Korean home dishes

You'll make 2 to 4 Korean home-style dishes such as spicy stir-fried pork, Korean egg roll (gyeran-mari), doenjang stew, spicy braised chicken, green onion pancake and steamed egg. Each dish has a hands-on step such as flipping, rolling, seasoning or stirring, so it's easy to follow even for beginners.

Set the table and eat together

At the end, all the dishes go on one table and you enjoy them together with makgeolli, just like a Korean family meal. You'll receive recipe cards so you can make the dishes again at home.
