In this full-day pork and poultry cooking workshop, you'll learn to break down a whole chicken, control your heat, and cook chicken and pork so they're juicy every time.
The menu
The Hero Dish: Pancetta-Wrapped Chicken Roulade
You'll butterfly a chicken breast, fill it with a herb and mushroom stuffing, wrap it in pancetta, then roast and slice it into neat, dinner-party rounds with a pan sauce from the roasting juices. It looks impressive, but you can prepare it ahead.
You'll also make:
  • Crispy roast pork belly with crackling and apple-cider glaze
  • Pan-seared pork cutlet with sage, mustard and cider sauce
  • Buttermilk fried chicken with chilli honey
  • Vietnamese caramelised pork (thịt kho) with steamed rice
  • Chicken stock made from the frame of your bird
  • Vietnamese shredded chicken salad (gĂ  xĂ© phay) – poached thigh from your own bird, tossed with herbs, onion and lime
  • Crunchy apple slaw – the fresh side that cuts through rich pork belly
What you'll learn
  • Break down a whole chicken and use every part
  • Butterfly, stuff, roll and tie a roulade
  • Score, dry and roast pork belly for crisp crackling
  • Control heat when roasting, pan-searing and frying
  • Judge doneness by touch and temperature, and rest meat properly
  • Make a quick pan sauce from the fond left in the pan
  • Poach chicken so it stays silky, and balance a Vietnamese dressing
This is Day 1 of The Confident Home Cook, but you can book it on its own.

ABOUT US
Otao kitchen is a cooking school and event space with a mission for people to come together to cook, connect, celebrate. We believe cooking and eating should be an experience, not just a meal. We created Otao kitchen as an extension of our passions to cook, share and inspire.
EXPERT IN COOKING CLASSES
Otao kitchen was launched in Melbourne, Australia in July 2014, with the goal of celebrating the rich and varied cooking experiences of Melbourne’s immigrant multicultural communities. Its founder, Chef Ha Nguyen, originally from Hanoi shares his passion for food, instructing customers in the exotic diaspora of Asian and around the world cuisine.
WHAT WE DO BEST?
Today our guests can get inspired by cooking with our local and international chefs, listen to their cooking and travel experiences in Asia and around the world and bring some cooking and cultural tips and tricks home. With the nods at the diversity of communities within Melbourne, Otao kitchen features an array of global food experiences from Indian to Japan to Mexico and more.
In 2020 with the challenge of global Covid 19 pandemic, we set out to capture the curriculum of our hands-cooking classes and deliver it online to home cooks in Australia and across the world to guide you to cooking success and better health.
Products and services: cooking master classes, private and corporate events, catering and event services, kid and school programs, and gift vouchers.
