Yay for another successful Banchan Workshop! Back in early November, I hosted another mini workshop and pop-up at one of my favorite home goods store on Piedmont Ave, at Neighbor shop in Oakland. I invited all of my Korean-Food-Loving-Friends over to join me that day for some banchan tasting, bibimbap demo and to introduce the new Gochujang Sauce by Chung Jung One. It was fun to see everyone show up and enjoy the lovely weekend afternoon at the Neighbor’s backyard.
Bibimbap demo was simple yet a creative one. We did a fun comparison version of Traditional (right) vs. California (left) using different ingredients. You can find the recipe for the California version on California Weekend Magazine along with a short interview about how I switched from being a Graphic Designer to a Food Blogger and also some of my favorite Oakland’s best kept secret spots to visit!

We are proud to have partnered with our sponsors Gochujang Sauce by Chung Jung One and Áplat culinary tote collections for our guests. We appreciate your continuous support!
