You step through a narrow door off World Food Street in Itaewon and the city noise folds into the sound of knives and bubbling stews. Bright jars of gochujang and soy paste line the counter; seasonal edible flowers wait on a tray. In a compact studio on the third floor, a small group gathers around stainless steel workstations to roll gimbap, ladle silken sundubu-jjigae, and shape rice dough for flower-topped hwa-jeon.
