As you walk down the streets of Seoul, you’re hit with the wafting aromas of spicy gochujang, sweet cooked rice and umami-rich fish stew. It’s a symphony of great smells—and you can experience it all from home. Join guest chef Ji Hye Kim of the celebrated restaurant Miss Kim for a pre-recorded livestream workshop all about Korean street food. First, tteokbokki is perhaps Korea’s most beloved street snack, consisting of tender cylindrical rice cakes—which you can purchase premade or make yourself according to Ji Hye’s expert instructions—in a spicy red sauce. You’ll learn about the history and current use of gochujang, the fermented red chili paste that gives the sauce its bold color. While you snack on your tteokbokki, we make kimbob. You might be tempted to call kimbob sushi, but Ji Hye will illuminate the differences, from how the rice is cooked to which dipping sauces are and aren’t welcome. Like sushi, though, kimbob is vastly adaptable, bite-sized and surprisingly easy to make with a little professional guidance. To complete a trifecta of Korean street food, we turn to Eomuk, a deeply savory dish of fish cakes—which we’ll make ourselves—bobbing in a quick broth whose rich flavor comes from anchovy, kelp and soy. Whether you make one, two or all three of these dishes, we guarantee that the smells and flavors will transport you straight to Korea.
Named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs of 2021 and a James Beard Award Best Chef semifinalist, Ji Hye aims to broaden the understanding of Korean cuisine through her cooking. At her acclaimed restaurant Miss Kim — named one of Ann Arbor’s “Most Essential Restaurants” by Eater — her seasonal menu is inspired by ancient Korean culinary traditions, and adapted with local Midwestern ingredients.
