Cooking Korean Lesson

Cooking Korean Lesson is one of the few cooking games that actually teaches two dishes rather than inventing them: kimchi, which is made by hand, and bibimbap, which arrives as separate things on one bowl.

The work is deliberately slow. Vegetables are chopped and grated, meat is sliced, things are boiled, fried and seasoned, and the game will not move on until the step in front of you is finished properly, which turns the whole thing into a sequence rather than a race.

The end is the part most kitchen games leave out. Side dishes are set out and the table is laid, which is how a Korean meal is actually served and makes the lesson feel like one.

How to play Cooking Korean Lesson

Prepare, cook, season, lay the table

  • Gather what the dish needs before you start on it.
  • Chop and grate the vegetables and slice the meat as the game directs.
  • Boil, fry and season in the order it gives you. Nothing advances until the current step is done.
  • Bring the parts together in the bowl, or pack the kimchi by hand.
  • Set out the side dishes and finish the table.

Controls

Click or tap the tools and the ingredients. There is no keyboard involved.

Tips and strategy

Let the game lead, because it checks its own order and nothing happens until the step on screen is complete, so there is nothing to gain by working ahead. The hand work on the kimchi is the fiddliest part and the one worth slowing down for. Treat the side dishes as part of the dish rather than a flourish at the end.
