Description
In recent years, discoveries from leading scientific researchers have found that the state of our gut bacteria could lead to better mood, immunity and skin. During the class you will learn how to get started with fermenting at home.
What you will make – please bring 3 preserving jars or pre order from us £5 each.
- Kimchi
- Sauerkraut
- Kimchi fried rice
- Wholemeal momos with fermented soy beans and turmeric sauerkraut
Kimchi and Sauerkraut are great side dishes which can be eaten with any meal and are traditionally made by fermenting cabbage but many other vegetables can be used. Korean kimchi is hot and spicy whilst sauerkraut has a distinctive sour flavour –Â the result of lactic acid formed when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage leaves.
What’s included
Probiotic drink on arrival and the food you make – please bring three or more glass preserving jars, at least 500ml or pre order from us at £5 each. The class will last 2.5 to 3 hours depending on number of guests. You will eat your dishes on the night and take home your jars of fermented Sauerkraut and Kimchi.
