<p>I attended a Korean cooking showcase&nbsp;at Seunghee Chai and my experience is beyond words.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Home chef Seunghee Chai flew in from South Korea less than a year ago to accompany her husband who landed a project here in Boston. She is a mom and a passionate homemaker who enjoys cooking traditonal Korean food from her home town.</p>

<p>I was fortunate enough to get&nbsp;invited to learn one of their highly desirable dish, which&nbsp;is generally made&nbsp;during holidays, called&nbsp;&quot;Japchae.&quot; She says this colorful dish is a eye-catcher on any holiday table. She is also showing&nbsp;us a&nbsp;side dish of&nbsp;Korean Lettuce Salad.</p>

<p>Plate Nextdoor is just&nbsp;not about&nbsp;cooking but all about&nbsp;experience. We get to experience what goes on behind the making of these&nbsp;amazing cuisines from around the world. The exchange of recipe,&nbsp;ingredients, techniques,&nbsp;tools&nbsp;and, most important,&nbsp;taking home some new cool facts/history about a country that you may wish to go in future.</p>

<p>As soon as I entered Seunghee&#39;s sweet home, my jaw dropped with her amazing collection of Korean books for her kids that she shipped along with her from Korea, so that her kids are&nbsp;up to date with their Korean education. Its amazing how much dedication they show with education and learning.&nbsp;Below is a picture of her amazing kids book collection:</p>

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.platenextdoor.com/js/uploads/IMG_1692.JPG.jpg" style="height:300px; width:400px" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As soon as I entered her kitchen, I&nbsp;noticed&nbsp;a big clay pot that was also shipped from Korea to store rice. She mixes two different kinds of rice and also grains in it. The clay pot prevents invading of bugs into the rice.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.platenextdoor.com/js/uploads/IMG_1697.JPG.jpg" style="height:533px; width:400px" /></p>

<p>She had her ingredients and vegetables all ready for Japchae and even a translator for me, just in case I don&#39;t follow her. She can understand English, but is a little shy in speaking.</p>

<p>She is showing&nbsp;a&nbsp;vegetarian version of the recipe, but you can always replace beef/chicken or pork instead of mushrooms to this recipe.</p>

<p>We were done cooking in 45 minutes,&nbsp;and I must say it tasted delicious! The cooked sweet potato glass noddles were&nbsp;hand mixed delicately with marinated and individually&nbsp;sauted vegetables to keep the texture crispy as the cooking temperatures for these vegetables vary.</p>

<p>At the end, she seasoned the mix with sesame oil and sesame seeds and it was all ready to serve.</p>

<p>My favorite was the Korean lettuce salad, easy to make. Korean dressing had grated garlic and green onions in&nbsp;soy and fish (optional) sauce and&nbsp;&nbsp;spicy red chilly flakes powder. You can serve&nbsp;this&nbsp;with your grill food or rice, I will be making this a lot this summer!</p>

<p>Below are&nbsp;some pictures of the cooking experience and cultural enlightening&nbsp;I had in her home. We socialized over food&nbsp;along&nbsp;with another person from the community, her name is Mariko, moved in recently from Tokyo, Japan. Hope to peek in her kitchen some day&nbsp;to learn miso soup or sushi rolls. The best part of this meeting was, though each of us spoke different languages, we somehow understood each other without explaining too much and that was the magic of food, you communicate&nbsp;through your&nbsp;five senses,&nbsp;and I enjoyed every bit of this experience. Seunghee Chai will be showcasing &quot;Japchae&quot; and &quot;Korean Lettuce Salad&quot; on 15th July, 2017&nbsp;at 11am in Allandale Farm in Chestnut hill&nbsp;MA, come experience Korean Kitchen in the outdoor settings this Summer.</p>

<p>I attended a Korean cooking showcase&nbsp;at Seunghee Chai and my experience is beyond words.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Home chef Seunghee Chai flew in from South Korea less than a year ago to accompany her husband who landed a project here in Boston. She is a mom and a passionate homemaker who enjoys cooking traditonal Korean food from her home town.</p>

<p>I was fortunate enough to get&nbsp;invited to learn one of their highly desirable dish, which&nbsp;is generally made&nbsp;during holidays, called&nbsp;&quot;Japchae.&quot; She says this colorful dish is a eye-catcher on any holiday table. She is also showing&nbsp;us a&nbsp;side dish of&nbsp;Korean Lettuce Salad.</p>

<p>Plate Nextdoor is just&nbsp;not about&nbsp;cooking but all about&nbsp;experience. We get to experience what goes on behind the making of these&nbsp;amazing cuisines from around the world. The exchange of recipe,&nbsp;ingredients, techniques,&nbsp;tools&nbsp;and, most important,&nbsp;taking home some new cool facts/history about a country that you may wish to go in future.</p>

<p>As soon as I entered Seunghee&#39;s sweet home, my jaw dropped with her amazing collection of Korean books for her kids that she shipped along with her from Korea, so that her kids are&nbsp;up to date with their Korean education. Its amazing how much dedication they show with education and learning.&nbsp;Below is a picture of her amazing kids book collection:</p>

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.platenextdoor.com/js/uploads/IMG_1692.JPG.jpg" style="height:300px; width:400px" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As soon as I entered her kitchen, I&nbsp;noticed&nbsp;a big clay pot that was also shipped from Korea to store rice. She mixes two different kinds of rice and also grains in it. The clay pot prevents invading of bugs into the rice.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="" src="https://www.platenextdoor.com/js/uploads/IMG_1697.JPG.jpg" style="height:533px; width:400px" /></p>

<p>She had her ingredients and vegetables all ready for Japchae and even a translator for me, just in case I don&#39;t follow her. She can understand English, but is a little shy in speaking.</p>

<p>She is showing&nbsp;a&nbsp;vegetarian version of the recipe, but you can always replace beef/chicken or pork instead of mushrooms to this recipe.</p>

<p>We were done cooking in 45 minutes,&nbsp;and I must say it tasted delicious! The cooked sweet potato glass noddles were&nbsp;hand mixed delicately with marinated and individually&nbsp;sauted vegetables to keep the texture crispy as the cooking temperatures for these vegetables vary.</p>

<p>At the end, she seasoned the mix with sesame oil and sesame seeds and it was all ready to serve.</p>

<p>My favorite was the Korean lettuce salad, easy to make. Korean dressing had grated garlic and green onions in&nbsp;soy and fish (optional) sauce and&nbsp;&nbsp;spicy red chilly flakes powder. You can serve&nbsp;this&nbsp;with your grill food or rice, I will be making this a lot this summer!</p>

<p>Below are&nbsp;some pictures of the cooking experience and cultural enlightening&nbsp;I had in her home. We socialized over food&nbsp;along&nbsp;with another person from the community, her name is Mariko, moved in recently from Tokyo, Japan. Hope to peek in her kitchen some day&nbsp;to learn miso soup or sushi rolls. The best part of this meeting was, though each of us spoke different languages, we somehow understood each other without explaining too much and that was the magic of food, you communicate&nbsp;through your&nbsp;five senses,&nbsp;and I enjoyed every bit of this experience. Seunghee Chai will be showcasing &quot;Japchae&quot; and &quot;Korean Lettuce Salad&quot; on 15th July, 2017&nbsp;at 11am in Allandale Farm in Chestnut hill&nbsp;MA, come experience Korean Kitchen in the outdoor settings this Summer.</p>

Have an experience to remember inside a Korean kitchen.

08-Jan-2020
Go behind the scenes of a Korean cooking class -- and an experience "beyond words."
I would say you do not need to travel too far to experience different culture and traditions because we see diversity around us, due to the "evolution of culture."
I attended a Korean cooking showcase at Seunghee Chai and my experience is beyond words.
Home chef Seunghee Chai flew in from South Korea less than a year ago to accompany her husband who landed a project here in Boston. She is a mom and a passionate homemaker who enjoys cooking traditonal Korean food from her home town.
I was fortunate enough to get invited to learn one of their highly desirable dish, which is generally made during holidays, called "Japchae." She says this colorful dish is a eye-catcher on any holiday table. She is also showing us a side dish of Korean Lettuce Salad.
Plate Nextdoor is just not about cooking but all about experience. We get to experience what goes on behind the making of these amazing cuisines from around the world. The exchange of recipe, ingredients, techniques, tools and, most important, taking home some new cool facts/history about a country that you may wish to go in future.
As soon as I entered Seunghee's sweet home, my jaw dropped with her amazing collection of Korean books for her kids that she shipped along with her from Korea, so that her kids are up to date with their Korean education. Its amazing how much dedication they show with education and learning. Below is a picture of her amazing kids book collection:

Seunghee Chai will be showcasing "Japchae" and "Korean Lettuce Salad" on 15th July, 2017 at 11am in Allandale Farm in Chestnut hill MA, come experience Korean Kitchen in the outdoor settings this Summer.
