🥬 Not Just Kimchi… A Taste of Community!
2nd Annual Kimchi-Making Event in Madison
In Korea, every November families and neighbors come together for “Kimjang”—preparing large amounts of kimchi to eat through the winter. Rather than making kimchi alone, people gather to prepare it, sharing conversations, passing down secret tips, and enjoying meals together. The whole day feels like a festival of food and community. And, of course, no Kimjang is complete without a shared meal of boiled pork (Bossam) with freshly made kimchi!
This year in Madison, we want to bring that same spirit of warmth and community again!
🍲 What’s Happening?
-Experience Kimjang — the Korean tradition of making kimchi together for the winter
-Watch a live cooking demonstration
-Prepare your own kimchi with provided ingredients and take it home
-Share a meal of boiled pork or Tofu Kimchi (vegetarian option) with freshly made kimchi

Hello Community! 👋

The story of Janchi Guksu 잔치국수 (Korean Party Noodles):
In Korea, this noodle soup is served at weddings, birthdays, and community feasts whenever people gather to celebrate. The meaning is simple yet beautiful: if the broth is plentiful, you can warmly welcome many guests.
There’s even a Korean saying, asking young adults: “When will you treat us to noodles?”—which really means “When will you get married?” While this may sound like a personal or awkward question in American culture, in Korean tradition it’s understood as a caring way of asking about someone’s future plans.
The broth for Janchi Guksu can be made in many ways—using seafood, chicken, or even just vegetables. The noodles are made from white wheat flour, and when topped with a savory soy sauce and beautiful garnishes such as finely cut carrots, zucchini, and green onions, they become a dish of comfort, color, and celebration.

What You’ll Learn:
Gochujang Tteokbokki (고추장 떡볶이)
A classic Korean comfort food made with chewy rice cakes simmered in a savory, spicy-sweet red chili paste (gochujang) sauce. It's bold, rich, and full of authentic Korean flavor!
Rosé Tteokbokki (로제 떡볶이)
A trendy twist on the original! This version blends little bit of gochujang with cream or milk, creating a smoother, slightly spicy, and creamy sauce. It’s a perfect balance of Korean heat and Western-style richness—great for those who want a milder, velvety flavor.

Fee: $30 per person
(Includes individual ingredients for hands-on cooking)
What to Bring:
Apron, Small kitchen knife, Food container (to bring home)

🍙 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.

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.

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.
