KOREAN CUISINE: The Next Food Trend

Tuesday, February 3, 2015, McCracken County Master Gardeners hosted a Korean Cooking School for area chefs and home cooks. 

 Five Korean women living in the Paducah community demonstrated their recipes for fresh Kimchi; Sik-hye (pronouced “C-K”, a fermented rice punch); Chrysanthemum Flower Tea; Kimbap (Korean sushi); Korean Pancake with seafood; Brown Sweet Rice Pancake (similar to a brownie); Japchae (stir-fried cellophane noodles with vegetables and meat); Savory Health Bread; Miso Soup; and, dried persimmons and pecans (snack). 

Dishes prepared during the school were then served as a tasting menu for that evening’s Toolbox Presentation called “Taste of Korea.”
