Bulgogi, is literally translated as “fire meat.” It is derived from two Korean words, “bul” which means “fire,” and “gogi,” which is the Korean word for meat. Usually, Koreans use thin slices of beef or pork for this dish but this time, we will be learning how to make bulgogi using chicken. After that, we will also get to bake some lemon muffins and partici- pants will get to take home what they made. This a fun way to bond with your children and also learn about Ko- rean culture.
