Description
Hosted at my own home — a cozy modern hanok in Seoul.
Make your own colorful rice cakes(Songpyeon). Learn traditional techniques, use organic ingredients, and enjoy a warm cultural experience with me.
Step into a cozy modern hanok(a traditional Korean-style house) in the heart of Seoul and experience one of Korea’s most beloved food traditions making Songpyeon, colorful rice cakes that were once enjoyed during harvest season but are now loved all year round.
I grew up watching my mother make rice cakes in her shop, and now I’d love to share that warmth and tradition with you. In this small, hands-on class, you’ll learn how to knead, shape, and fill your own Songpyeon using healthy, organic ingredients. We’ll use natural colors and fillings such as mung beans, roasted sesame, chestnuts, and red beans and you can create your own combinations for a truly personal touch.
All ingredients are organic, and I minimize the use of sugar. using raw cane sugar only when needed. No cooking experience is required. Just bring your curiosity and an open heart!
While the rice cakes are steaming, we’ll enjoy a few with tea, and you can take home your handmade Songpyeon.
This is more than a cooking class. it’s a relaxing and heartwarming experience where you can connect with Korean culture and creativity in a beautiful hanok setting. Take home a taste of Korea made by your own hands.
Highlights
- Hosted in my own cozy modern hanok — experience authentic Korean home life.
- Enjoy a relaxed, small-group class (max 8people) with a friendly local host.
