ONLINE PROGRAM

Online Cooking Class

On Monday September 21st, we will be making various kinds of "Jeon", which is Korean traditional holiday dishes that are prepared during Chuseok.

Jeon in general refers to a dish that is first coated in flour and eggs, then pan-fried in oil. Jeon incorporates ingredients such as thinly sliced meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables.

Those Jeons are commonly made in many homes to be presented as offerings among

other preparations during ancestral ceremonies and family gatherings. Please join us for an online ZOOM session of cooking with chef Nancy Lee who has been showing our foreign resident community many cooking tips at the Seorae Global Village Center.

Here are the list of Jeons we will be making:

- Korean style meatball (동그랑땡)

- Sesame leaf jeon (깻잎전)

- Shiitake mushroom jeon (표고버섯전)

- Pan-fried fish fillet jeon (생선전)

- Pan-fried Zucchini jeon (애호박전)

WHEN: Monday September 21st 2020 from 10:00 to 11:30 am

WHERE: from your kitchen by joining ZOOM session online (you must have a camera and sound on your computer)

The Seorae Global Village Center is part of a network of information and welcome centers for foreigners located in neighborhoods across Seoul where many foreign residents tend to reside. The opening of these centers was an initiative of the city of Seoul in 2008 with the mission to provide practical information about living in Korea so that foreign residents find the day-to-day management easy. Our primary role is to answer questions that pertain to daily life and to help manage situations where the language barrier becomes an issue.

You will find at the center Korean language programs as well as other cultural and artistic lessons to learn and appreciate the multiple facts of the Korean culture. We hope that this will help you create new encounters and discoveries.

Please visit our website for more information about what's happening this month.

Opening Hours : Monday - Friday 9:00 - 18:00
