🍙 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.
