This class with Chef Wai Chu takes a fresh look at the remarkable flavors and versatility of Chinese vegan cooking. With just a few of the healthier ingredients from the Asian pantry, you can easily create a huge variety of homestyle dishes. First, we’ll look at some ingredients and equipment (steamers, woks, spiders) commonly found in the Chinese kitchen. Next, we’ll learn the essentials of health-friendly Asian cooking techniques like stir-frying, steaming and stewing. We'll then prepare a variety of recipes that are simple and impressively delicious, including: steamed shiitake and cabbage dumplings; bean curd rolls with "vegetarian duck" stuffed with dried shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots; stewed daikon with Chinese five-spice blend; stir-fried mung bean vermicelli with bell peppers; fresh wild mushrooms and silken tofu in black bean sauce with baby bok choy; steamed jasmine rice; and sweet potato rice balls in sweetened coconut soup.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
