Kimchi making workshop

Had been receiving Korea Tourism Organisation email blast since don't know when. KTO communicate to readers Korea's latest offerings and Korea related happenings in Singapore. KTO also offers cooking and Korean language workshop. Guess what attracts me? Of cours it is the Korea cooking class! All cooking class is charge at $5 per session for ingredients.

They offer kimchi making, tteokbokki and japchae workshop. Each workshop runs from once to twice a month on a weekday at 4.30pm. That means that I have to apply half day leave to attend the workshop. Alamak.

Called Ting Ting to join the class and applied immediately when we saw the email. Was excited but Ting couldn't not join me on that day. She said she had left office when her Boss called her back to prepare some documents. They are having audit. Haiz.. End up going alone... ... My class in on 1 October 2010, Friday at 4.30pm.

This is where the class is held.

Preparing to demostrate how to wash the cabbage.

Our individual work station. They providedrecipe, container, glove, disposable apron and wet tissue. She start by showing how to cut, clean and soak the cabbage. Then she demostrate making of the kimchi sauce. Afterwhich we are given 2 quarter piece of the pre-prepared cabbage and some kimchi sauce to marinate our own kimchi. See this is my portion.

We wipe some kimchi sauce on each leave and wrap it up using the most outer leave and place into our container. Our teacher did one portion and cut it up immediately to let us taste it. Didn't know that we can eat it immediately after marinating but it will not be sour as fermentation have not start.

See my own kimchi to bring home! Will definitely go for their other cooking class.
