The program was designed to introduce Vietnamese consumers and future culinary talent to the diverse ingredients, cooking methods, and flavors of Korean seafood. Co-hosted by CJ Foods and the Korea Fisheries Association, the program was designed to expand awareness and hands-on appreciation of Korean seafood ingredients and dishes among global audiences. The program was held on October 22 at Thang Long University in Hanoi for students, followed by cooking classes for local consumers and creators on October 24 and 25 as part of the Dol Dam Gil (돌담길) event at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam. At the Thang Long University session, Chef Chan-yang Lee, a Cuisine.K alumnus and a contestant on Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars, participated as the lead chef. He demonstrated two dishes: fried gim rolls and grilled abalone with gim sauce, showcasing the versatility of Korean gim (seaweed) and abalone. Through the demonstration, students gained a deeper understanding of Korean seafood ingredients and explored how they can be creatively incorporated into contemporary cuisine.

I was especially excited to try abalone for the first time and learn everything from how to prepare it to how to cook it. It was a truly interesting and special experience." After the October 22 cooking class, a K-seafood cooking competition was also held with student participants. Chef Lee and Chef Jun Hyuk Chi, who runs Korean fine dining restaurant Onvit in Hanoi, served as judges. The students presented original dishes using K-seafood, and jeonbogjug (abalone porridge), created by Team Yori Jori (Trần Thanh Huyền, ào Thị Minh Ánh, and Đỗ Kim Ngân), took first place. During the Dol Dam Gil event held on October 24 and 25 at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam, Chef Lee and Cuisine.K alumni chefs led hands-on cooking classes for local consumers and creators. Participants prepared abalone gim noodle spring rolls, a dish combining Korean seafood ingredients with familiar Vietnamese culinary traditions. The experience highlighted how Korean seafood can be adapted to local food cultures and incorporated into everyday cooking.
