Making Korea's Staple Food

Without a doubt, Korea’s number one signature food must be kimchi! Kimchi is made from fermented vegetables with varied seasonings. Although the most common type of kimchi is made with Napa cabbage, there are hundreds of different varieties made from several other kinds of vegetables, such as radish and cucumber (to name only two!).

Inside Myeong-dong’s Experience Kimchi, which is located on the 5th floor of the M Plaza Building, you can experience Korean culture and history through this vital Korean food. Put on that apron and get ready to make your own kimchi with the guidance and supervision of a professional instructor. Not only will you get to make your own special serving of pickled cabbage, but you can also taste it and pack it up for easy transport overseas! The Experience Kimchi's kimchi making program takes about 30 minutes. When you’re done (and if there’s still time) feel free to try on a traditional Korean hanbok outfit. If you like the way you look, why not take a free Polaroid photo of you and your companion wearing them?The Experience Kimchi offers several workshops daily, so be sure to plan your trip with the appropriate language offering.
