What you'll do

In this hands-on cooking class you'll learn how to make Chinese food the authentic way.

Chinese cuisine has been around for thousands of years and is ingrained in Chinese culture and philosophy, with different foods often used to balance the body's yin and yang. In this social cooking class, you will learn all about Chinese cuisine and how to make some Chinese dishes yourself.

Led by a hands-on instructor you'll see a series of cooking demonstrations and be taught about best practices for keeping your knives and kitchen equipment in top shape. You'll have some hands-on practice chopping, rolling and preparing the dishes while you learn about different ingredients, spices and how to create the right flavour balance.

The cooking lesson will conclude with a sit-down meal where everyone can enjoy a glass of wine and the delicious Chinese dishes you have created.

The menu:
Mapo Tofu - Tofu with Chilli Bean Paste
Ganbian Sijidou - Dry Fried Greenbeans
Dong Po Rou - Braised Pork Belly
Chao Shuo- Sichuan Wontons
La Yu- Chilli Oil

Such an incredible class that packed in a lot of delicious authentic dishes. Dylan was fantastic at talking us through the how and why for each step so make sure we took home traditional lesson and ended up with a delicious dishes to enjoy.
The only suggestion I have for the ingredients for each meal to be better segregated, many participants got confused over what the quantities of garlic and ginger were for! Didn't impact the dishes, just created some frustration.
