Join us for an evening celebrating the harmony and vibrancy of Vietnamese cuisine. Together, we’ll explore the balance of sweet, savory, and herbal flavors textures and colors that define some of Vietnam’s most beloved dishes.
Shrimp spring rolls are fresh, satisfying and healthy, and they come together quickly once you know the techniques. You’ll learn how to prepare delicate, translucent spring rolls filled with tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and rice noodles. You’ll be able to customize your rolls exactly how you want them. To accompany your rolls, you’ll make a bright Vietnamese dipping sauce that perfectly balances sweet, tangy, salty, and spicy flavors.
Next we’ll move to an aromatic favorite: Vietnamese grilled lemongrass pork. You’ll learn how to marinate pork with fragrant lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and a touch of sweetness, then cook it to achieve a caramelized, smoky finish. We’ll also cover tips for grilling or pan-searing so you can recreate the dish at home.
Finally we will finish our meal with a sweet creamy coconut and pandan sticky rice. Made with steamed glutinous rice and the verdant green almost vanilla like leaf pandan, it’s a flavor that might be new but will feel familiar and comforting.
Throughout the class, you’ll gain insight into essential Vietnamese ingredients, flavor profiles, and preparation techniques. By the end, you’ll enjoy a delicious homemade meal and leave with the confidence to bring these fresh, flavorful dishes to your own kitchen.
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) For Chef Nights you will always have enough for two and generally some leftovers to bring home.
We provide aprons, recipes, all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
