Food is a must-try when you travel, especially in Busan. By trying to concoct a traditional Korean food recipe, you’ll naturally learn Busan’s history and culture.
In Seo-gu, Busan, there is a one-day cooking class on traditional Korean food. It provides a perfect opportunity for couples to spend a unique date or for foreigners to learn about Korean culture.

The class begins with a cup of homemade tea designed to welcome and relax the students. Enjoy a hot cup of tea made with homemade fruit preserves to get familiar with the class atmosphere. What awaits you next is a Korean jang (sauce) tasting. Foreigners tend to be unfamiliar with the Korean jang culture. Without this tasting, they might feel repulsed by its odor or color. Hence, the process is necessary to overcome their fear and anxiety from unfamiliarity with the Korean jang culture, and understand it better.

Following the sauce tasting, a lecture will be held on the food culture of Busan and Korea. This lecture promises to be interesting. You will not only learn about Busan but also get an exciting gourmet tour through this lecture. When traveling to famous tourist destinations in Busan, people tend to overlook the history and tradition embodied in food. Once you take this class, you’ll have a better understanding of how Busan’s unique local food came to life and what kind of stories are in it.

The lecture will be followed by a cooking demonstration, a cooking session, and a tasting session that will last for about 2 hr. Once you join the class, you’ll be given a cutting board, a knife, and a recipe book along with ingredients. After learning how to use cooking tools properly and apply simple cooking tips when handling ingredients, you can benefit from a professional’s cooking demonstration.

Then, it’s time to try the recipes for wild vegetable bibimbap and Dongnae-style green onion pancake served with Gijang seaweed soup and Daejeo tomato kimchi. A colorful display of ingredients in Korean cuisine is the biggest fun you’ll get when you make these dishes. Foreigners tend to find it interesting to look at this colorful display of ingredients in Korean cuisine. Simply looking at the various vegetables used in Korean food will make you feel as if you’re getting healthy. That is probably why you can’t stop smiling as you’re having fun both cooking and looking.

Once the cooking is done, it’s time to share your food. There’s one more thing you shouldn’t miss. That is Busan’s signature alcoholic beverage called Geumjeongsanseong Makgeolli (rice wine). The combination of wild vegetable bibimbap, green onion pancakes, and Busan’s traditional rice wine will have you enjoying a delicious, congenial meal with the others.
After your meal, you’ll be invited to a tea ceremony. A hot cup of lotus leaf tea will improve your digestion and refresh your mouth.

A one-day traditional Korean cooking class in Busan awaits all foreign visitors who want to have a special time and an unforgettable, extraordinary experience.
