Class Description

Description

Discover the techniques for preparing an authentic Chinese culinary experience in this interactive cooking workshop! Working alongside experienced instruction, you'll acquire the expertise to recreate traditional Chinese flavors in your own home kitchen.

The class begins with making handcrafted wontons filled with a savory combination of seasoned pork and mushrooms. You'll then prepare tender chicken in a sophisticated, spicy, citrus-forward coating combining the best qualities of Orange Chicken and General Tso's Chicken, but elevated; this pairs beautifully with stir-fried seasonal vegetables and light steamed rice. The meal concludes with Ma Lai Gao, a delightful steamed sponge cake featuring evaporated milk for richness and moisture.

Feel free to bring your preferred wine or beer to enjoy as you cook and share your prepared meal.
