Kimchi is an incredibly healthy and delicious category of Korean fermented vegetables. During this time of year, after the nappa cabbage harvest, kimjang is held throughout Korea, where people from the community come out to prepare kimchi together for every household. The most common type of kimchi is cut from whole cabbages— the red, chili-infused found on every Korean table. However, the techniques and ingredients for this traditional Korean dish can vary tremendously, and provide an entry point to the fascinating and diverse world of Korean cuisine.
But can kimchi help make the world a better place? Toronto celebrity chef Sang Kim thinks so. In 2018 Chef Sang launched the #GiftingKimchi campaign, dropping off homemade kimchi to people who are positive forces in the community, and the response has been incredible. So now Chef Sang is leveling up, offering this hands-on workshop on classic nappa cabbage (poggi-style) kimchi— so that you can make, enjoy and share kimchi of your own!
And to make this class even more special, Chef Sang, will be using authentic Korean ingredients sponsored by Galleria Supermarket, the largest Korean-owned supermarket chain in Canada. And to cap it all off, FOOD 4 U will be offering free jars of their famous Canadian-made cut cabbage kimchi for you take home with you.
