Just like other Korean cultural centers in different countries, we, the Koreanskt Kulturcenter (Korean Cultural Center in Sweden), also celebrated Chuseok (추석). Many people showed their interest and dedication to Korean food and learning how to cook Korean dishes. For our Chuseok event, we collaborated with our regular K-food Seminar and made songpyeon (송편) together.
Making songpyeon is no easy task, especially since rice doesn't contain gluten, and we use short-grain rice powder, which is low in starch. It was a real challenge for many participants to make them right without breaking. However, gathering all together and making Songpyeon really brought the right vibe for celebrating Chuseok, a big family gathering together and making a party food together.
We are grateful that all the participants enjoyed our special Chuseok event. Thank you very much.
