Chef JiYoung Park’s Nov. 14 workshop pairs hands-on work with sujebi and baechujeon with a conversation about how family recipes change. SFMOMA lists the class at capacity.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Recipes matter here as much as the finished dishes: SFMOMA’s Hansik cooking class connects two preparations from the film Little Forest with a conversation about how food carries family and cultural history.
Participants will prepare and shape dough for sujebi, a hand-torn dough soup, then cut, coat and cook baechujeon, Korean cabbage pancakes, from scratch. The class provides its materials, and participants eat what they have made after cooking.

Chef JiYoung Park plans to discuss how recipes shift as they move through families, the cultural meaning attached to food, and her own work reinterpreting Korean food heritage. That makes the conversation part of the workshop’s subject, not just an introduction to the recipes.
Park was born in Seoul and founded Parks Kitchen in San Francisco. She has taught Korean cooking since 2007, with classes in Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin, Miami and San Francisco. Her practice brings traditional dishes into a contemporary approach, and she describes food as a way into the culture, society and community that shaped her.

Both dishes appear in Yim Soon-rye’s 2018 film Little Forest. Its young protagonist leaves Seoul for a rural village, where planting, harvesting and cooking become part of everyday life. That attention to food and changing pace gives the workshop’s film connection more substance than a shared title.
SFMOMA has a separate screening and conversation on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Floor 1 Phyllis Wattis Theater; the supplied event metadata gives a 9 p.m. end time. Yim is scheduled to appear in person for the conversation. The screening is a distinct program, with ticket options of $0 for a free RSVP, $10 general, $20 extra support and $30 pay it forward.

The class is listed in connection with RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me, on Floor 7 from Oct. 3, 2026, through Feb. 7, 2027. Nearly 150 works from RM’s collection are shown with works from SFMOMA’s collection. The exhibition centers Korean modern and contemporary art while tracing a broader history of art in Korea from the fifth century to today through media including ceramics, calligraphy, painting and sculpture.
The exhibition is separately described as surcharged: $10 on weekdays and $12 on weekends and holidays, with free entry for members and Encore Pass holders. The cooking-class listing does not say whether its ticket includes exhibition access, so the two admissions should not be treated as interchangeable.
