If you like Korean food, you must have heard of Budae Jjigae. It is a very common and popular stew dish in Korea and neighbour countries.
This is a tasting session. You don't need to cook.
It is almost an identical dish representing Korean cuisine in many Asian countries. It could have many versions according to the ingredients put into it. However, common ingredients are Spam, Tofu, Kimchi and noodle cooked in soup with Gochujang.
Now you can taste the authentic Budae Jjigae in our shop as well. We will use the traditional ingredients mentioned above. However, we can also tailor it to your diet as well. We also can adjust the spicy level according to your taste.
You can select the ingredients that go into the dish to suit your diet. Vegan, high or low spice, gluten-free, and dairy-free are all possible.
Bring your friends or families and come to taste the authentic Budae Jjigae and listen to your experienced chef introduce the background story about it. You will find yourself in a small class and spacious shop with air conditioner. Often gets private class in weekdays.

It was lovely. I used to live in Korea for a year but learnt so much about the history behind budae jjigae. I left stuffed and with plenty of food and knowledge. Will defiantly be returning.

Love this tasting very much.
Cannot find any one doing this delicious Korean food in London. Simon's Budae Jjigae is the same as I had in Seoul.
