Korean traditional dish bulgogi

Join a Workshop Exploring the Flavors of Korean Cuisine!

We will focus on preparing one of the most popular Korean dishes – bulgogi. This traditional dish consists of thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and fruit.

The dish is usually served not only with the marinated meat, but also with rice and fresh or steamed vegetables, creating a balanced and nutritious meal. In South Korea,
