Korean Cultural Bridges
Cooking Korean Food on your table
Welcome to our Korean cooking class, where you’ll have the chance to meet new people, learn about Korean authentic cuisine, and explore Korean culture in a hands-on and welcoming environment. The main goal of this event is to build connections within the community, share my passion for Korean food, and create a space where we can all experience the joy of cooking together.
As a new member of Wisconsin, I’m excited to offer this opportunity, especially since my family moved from a large Korean community in New York. I’m a mother of four, and I believe this event will be a meaningful way for both my family and myself to integrate into the local community. It’s an experience I can share with others, and it’s something I’m passionate about—because cooking and food have always been one of the best ways to bring people together.
I hope that through this cooking event, we can not only enjoy delicious Korean dishes but also promote a healthier, more connected community. Let’s cook, share, and build lasting friendships!

🍙 Let’s Make Kimbap!
A Korean Cooking Class with Myungsim Yeun
👋 Meet Your Instructor: Myungsim Yeun
Hello everyone! It’s so nice to meet you.
My name is Myungsim Yeun—as you can probably tell, it’s a Korean name!
I was born and raised in South Korea, moved to New York at the age of 26 to study abroad, and later married a wonderful man. We have four beautiful children: Esther and Phoebe (currently studying at UW-Madison), and Nehemiah and Manaen, who are in 8th and 6th grade right here in this building!
Our family moved to McFarland from New York nine years ago, and since then, we’ve built many special friendships in this community.
I serve as a missionary and artist, but today, I’m here to share something close to my heart—Korean culture through food.
🍱 What Is Kimbap?
Today, we’re making a beloved Korean dish called Kimbap.
Kim (김) = seaweed
Bap (밥) = rice
Kimbap is a Korean dish where rice and various fillings are rolled in seaweed—like a Korean sandwich! It’s commonly enjoyed at picnics, parties, or packed lunches because it’s nutritious, colorful, and easy to eat.
🥕 What’s on the Table?
We’ll be using a variety of colorful and tasty ingredients today:
Vegetables: Carrots, spinach, pickled radish
Proteins: Egg, Fish cake (it doesn’t taste too fishy!) and imitation crab
Feel free to get creative at home—Kimbap can be made with many different fillings.
What’s important in Korean food is balance and color. Traditionally, we aim for five colors:
🌕 Yellow 🌿 Green 🟥 Red ⚪ White ⚫ Black
These colors are rooted in over 5,000 years of Korean culture, and they represent harmony, health, and beauty.
🎬 Let’s Roll!
I’ll demonstrate how to make a Kimbap roll, step-by-step.
Then it’s your turn!
Together, we’ll say:
👉 “What are we making?”
🎉 “Kimbap!”
Let’s have fun, enjoy the process, and celebrate connection through culture and food.
Bibimbap
Hello friends,
We’re excited to host our 14th cooking class with Cooking Korean Food on April 5th! This class focuses on cooking with individual provided ingredients, allowing you to create a dish to share with family and friends. Our goal is to help more people experience and enjoy Korean cuisine, so you can recreate these dishes in your own kitchen.
This time, we will be making Bibimbap!
Bibim means "mixing," and bap refers to "cooked rice." Bibimbap is a dish where rice is placed in a large bowl, topped with a variety of seasoned vegetables, meat or egg, and mixed with either a spicy gochujang (red chili paste) sauce or a savory soy sauce-based seasoning. Traditionally, it was also a great way to use up leftover side dishes after the Korean New Year by mixing them with rice for a delicious meal. While the individually seasoned vegetables already add great flavor, the true magic of bibimbap comes from the harmony of textures, the natural sweetness of the rice, and the rich, flavorful sauce—all coming together in one satisfying bite. It might sound like an exaggeration, but in a way, bibimbap embodies the idea of different people coming together to create something beautiful, just like in our world.

Songpyeon(송편)
I got the most delightful idea for the ChuSeok(추석 /Korean Harvest thanksgiving day) food, which is “Songpyeon(송편).” The SongPy
eon is the main food for the day. The most beautiful thing is bringing the family to sit together.
We will be dyeing the rice dough with a variety of natural vegetables and putting sweet harvest things (like honey, sesame, and a variety of beans) in it and wrapping them beautifully as the Autumn.
