Kimchi is a fermented side dish that is the staple of Korean cuisine. The most common types are napa cabbage and radish, though there are in fact many more kinds of kimchi made from various leafy greens or root vegetables.
Each batch of volcano kimchi is brined and then fermented at room temperature for several days, depending on the weather. Some people prefer young kimchi that is less fermented. Others like it sour. The ideal time, imho, is between 2-3 weeks fermented.
Aruna was born in South Korea, and grew up in a buddhist monastery where every meal included home-grown and locally-harvested vegetables, served in vibrant and nutritious ways. Some of her earliest memories are of sneaking away to steal bites of kimchi from the assortment of crock pots that lined the temple walls. Aruna came to San Francisco in 2001, and while San Francisco is now home, the memory of those flavors is as fresh today as it was then. This is the guiding inspiration she uses in preparing each batch of Volcano Kimchi.
We recommend this team-building experience for smaller teams who want to relax and try something new.
We select the best local team-building activities run by small business owners, artisans and chefs. We offer these experiences at the same price as you would get if you booked directly with the host. We add easy and secure booking and dedicated event coordination.
Here is what to expect when you book a team-building experience on Spaciously.
To book, follow the secure checkout process on the website. This will reserve your host's time.
If you need extra help with anything, just leave us a note in the "Comments" field! We're happy to help with food and venue recommendations.
After you check out, you will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. Very shortly after that, our team will reach out to connect you with your host and help with the logistics and questions!
All prices are upfront. There are no extra charges beyond what you pay when you book. In 99% of cases, hosts won't ask for tips because they're already included in the price.
All activities you see on Spaciously are private. You will get a dedicated instructor. You will also get either an entire venue or a section of a venue to yourselves.
If our calendar allows you to pick a date and time, your activity is available! In the rare scenario that your host has an emergency and can't make the date, it's our responsibility to find you a substitute host or a substitute activity quickly. If you don't like the options, we'll send you a full refund.
We are here to make sure your team gets the event they will enjoy. Helping you find the best activity for your team is the best part of our job. Send us a chat message, a text (415 798-0382) or an email (hello@spaciously.io). If you contact us in the morning or early afternoon, we'll respond in a few minutes.
We work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.
People love when they don't have to go out of their way for team-building. Invite the activity host to travel to your venue by selecting the option "My venue/office."
Some building management companies don't allow certain activities, e.g. cooking if you don't have a kitchen. Make sure you check this before you book.
Most buildings require a certificate of insurance. A one-off certificate of insurance costs ~$150 online, but 99% of the time, our hosts can provide one for free. There may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage, but we are happy to collaborate with you on this.
Refer to the cancelation policy on each listing when you book to see how much time you have to cancel your reservation. To cancel, answer the email thread we will start with you or contact hello@spaciously.io.
Regardless of the cancelation policy, hosts usually allow you to move the time of your booking a bit or to add a few more people. We are very collaborative when it comes to small event adjustments. Ultimately, we all want your event to be successful because we want to be your partners for a long time!
