Korean BBQ & Banchan

Unlock the art of Korean BBQ in this immersive and interactive class with Che from Che Gourmet. Having lived in South Korea, Che brings an authentic and insider’s perspective to the table, sharing the techniques and traditions that make Korean BBQ a global favourite.

You’ll start by learning how to select and marinate the best cuts of meat, from succulent bulgogi (marinated beef) to spicy gochujang pork and tender chicken, infusing each with layers of flavour.

But the true heart of Korean BBQ lies in the banchan—an array of small, flavourful side dishes that elevate every meal. Che will guide you through the preparation of classic banchan such as crispy kimchi, sweet and savoury japchae (glass noodles with vegetables), and tangy pickled radish, ensuring each dish complements your perfectly grilled meats.

Beyond just cooking, this class is an experience in the communal and social aspects of Korean dining. At the Cooking Studio at Lifestyle Garden Centre, you’ll learn how to set up a traditional Korean BBQ spread, where everyone gathers around the grill to cook, eat, and enjoy together. With Che’s guidance, you’ll discover the balance of flavours, textures, and temperatures that make Korean BBQ so special.

Expect to leave this class not only with new culinary skills but also with a deep appreciation for the cultural significance of Korean BBQ and the role of banchan in Korean cuisine. Whether you’re a seasoned BBQ lover or a curious foodie, this class offers a sensory-rich journey through one of Korea’s most beloved culinary traditions.
