Amsterdam Kimchi Workshop - 23rd June @ 1pm - €10 discount if you book early

Hi, Everyone

This is Sam and this is the meetup group for my kimchi making workshop.

Date:

The next workshop will be on Sunday 23rd June at 1pm.

Workshop Description:

The workshop is 3 hours and you will be taught to make a massive 2L jar of white cabbage Kimchi.

I will go through some of the history, science and health benefits of kimchi.

The workshop will start with a kimchi tasting session where you will gauge your spiciness level!

I will make 3 batches of kimchi 12 days before the workshop with 3 levels of spiciness. You will taste each kimchi to deteremine how spicy you want to make your own jar.

I will demonstrate how to make the chilli paste and then you will all prepare the vegetables together. I will show you how to prepare the vegetables and how different sizes might impact the taste, texture and mouthfeel of the kimchi.

The kimchi will contain white cabbage, white raddish, carrot, apple, spring onions, onions, shallots, garlic, ginger, saujeot shrimp and fish sauce.

A vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option is also available using soya sauce, miso paste or tamari please contact me for more information.

Naturally you can omit any ingredient if you wish.

You will finally mix the sauce into the cabbage and chopped vegetables and pack it into your perserving jars to take home to ferment and enjoy.

You will probably have a little kimchi that won't fit into the jar and you can eat it as fresh kimchi (geotjeori) with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.

A pdf recipe file will be emailed to you after the workshop. It contains very detailed step by step instructions and quantities in grams and item units. The file will also have a reference section detailing each ingredient and what to buy, a list of local suppliers for all ingredients and jars and additional notes on storage.

The workshop includes all the ingredients, a 2L preserving jar and instruction recipe pdf.

All kitchen equipment is provided.

The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on making of delicious food, laughing and chatting with people in a nice cafe environment with an excellent ambience and soundtrack.

Please check out the photos from my previous workshops.

Please bring a strong carrying bag as the 2L jar inclulding kimchi will weigh close to 4KG.

An apron and gloves are provided but it is recommended to wear old or dark coloured clothes as the chilli paste will stain light coloured clothes.

Wild Sage Food is a lovely organic food store with a cafe area at the back.

It is less than 5 minutes walk from De Pijp Subway Station.

Get there early and check out their products and grab a drink too.

(The location may be changed to another location in De Pijp.
Wild Sage Foods have informed me they are planning to renovate their premises in the next few months. They have said that it should be completed before June but they can't guarantee this yet.)

Cost and payment:

The workshop full price is €70 but there is an early booking discount!!

There is a €10 discount for the first 6 people to book.

Bookings made after will be charged at the full price of €70.

The reason I give an early booking discount is that I need to prepare and allocate ingredients equipment and jars and this naturally takes time. Last minutes booking mean I have to scramble to ensure I get enough ingredients and this makes my life harder ;) so make my life less hard and save €10 at the same time by booking early!

The workshop has a maximum of 12 people as such your place will only be confirmed once payment has been made. It is not possible to show up and pay on the day as I will not have allocated enough ingredients.

Each attendee has to pay the full price for a ticket.
Multiple people can not share one ticket.
eg: A couple can not pay for one ticket and share one set of ingredients to make one jar of kimchi.

If you have not paid by Friday 21st June 9pm you will NOT be able to attend as I will not have purchased or allocated ingredients for you.
