Cheonan Cooking Class: From a Market Tour to Making Kimchi & Kimchi Pancakes

This is a cooking class for international visitors. You'll walk through Cheonan Jungang Market, one of Cheonan's traditional markets, with a local guide, then make kimchi and kimchi pancakes the way Korean families make them at home. You'll look at fresh ingredients at the market, mix the kimchi by hand, and pan-fry kimchi pancakes until they're golden and crispy before sitting down to eat together. In one day, you'll get a taste of everyday Korean food culture that's hard to find at typical tourist spots.
