Learn how to ferment
Workshops
Foo Ferments is holding a workshop at 12:30 on both days
For those of you who are interested in learning more about the fermentation process and how it is used with vegetables. In this part of the world, when we say fermented vegetables, most of us may think of the German word 'sauerkraut', meaning sour cabbage. In Mandarin, we say 'suancai', or sour vegetables.
In this workshop, I look forward to making suancai with you and sharing my methods for applying the same theory and process to the different ingredients available to us in this part of the world.
We will cover the essential basics and useful tips on what it takes to make fermented vegetables at home.
NB: The workshop will be conducted primarily in English. Maximum 25 participants. Registration on the day is required.
