Amsterdam Kimchi Workshop

Hi, Everyone

This is Sam and this is the meetup group for my kimchi making workshop.

If you are one of the first six people to book before the 22nd September you will recieved a €10 discount.

Date:

The next workshop will be on Sunday 6th October at 1pm.

Workshop Description:

The workshop is 3 hours and you will be taught to make a massive 2L jar of white cabbage Kimchi.

I will go through some of the history, science and health benefits of kimchi.

The workshop will start with a kimchi tasting session where you will gauge your spiciness level!

I will make 3 batches of kimchi 12 days before the workshop with 3 levels of spiciness. You will taste each kimchi to deteremine how spicy you want to make your own jar.

I will demonstrate how to make the chilli paste and then you will all prepare the vegetables together. I will show you how to prepare the vegetables and how different sizes might impact the taste, texture and mouthfeel of the kimchi.

The kimchi will contain white cabbage, white raddish, carrot, apple, spring onions, onions, shallots, garlic, ginger, saujeot shrimp and fish sauce.

A vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option is also available using soya sauce, miso paste or tamari please contact me for more information.

Naturally you can omit any ingredient if you wish.

You will finally mix the sauce into the cabbage and chopped vegetables and pack it into your perserving jars to take home to ferment and enjoy.

You will probably have a little kimchi that won't fit into the jar and you can eat it as fresh kimchi (geotjeori) with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.

A pdf recipe file will be emailed to you after the workshop. It contains very detailed step by step instructions and quantities in grams and item units. The file will also have a reference section detailing each ingredient and what to buy, a list of local suppliers for all ingredients and jars and additional notes on storage.

The workshop includes all the ingredients, a 2L preserving jar and instruction recipe pdf.

All kitchen equipment is provided.

The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on making of delicious food, laughing and chatting with people in a nice cafe environment with an excellent ambience and soundtrack.

Please check out the photos from my previous workshops.

Please bring a strong carrying bag as the 2L jar inclulding kimchi will weigh close to 4KG.

An apron and gloves are provided but it is recommended to wear old or dark coloured clothes as the chilli paste will stain light coloured clothes.
