Cooking with Kimchi

A staple of Korean cuisine, kimchi is seen as a traditional and cultural necessity that is eaten at nearly every meal. A special technique and the right amount of seasoning are behind the unique flavor of this vegetable that excites nearly every sense. Commonly served as a side dish, kimchi also adds spice and a little something extra to Korean soups and stews or can be enjoyed with rice wrapped in dried seaweed crisps.

Join us for a special evening with one of the best Korean chefs in town, Thomas Kim, owner of Rabbit Hole in Minneapolis. Chef Kim will lead a hands-on kimchi cooking demonstration that includes take-home kimchi, light appetizers, and wine!* Come and learn from the best as Chef Kim bestows his culinary knowledge and bridges cultures with food.
