Beyond the Box: Chinese Takeaway Classics
Instructor
Yutian Xing
Recreate your favorite comfort food.
Forget the delivery menus; it’s time to master the secrets of the Chinese "Takeaway" classics using fresh, high-quality ingredients. In this hands-on workshop, we dive into the heart of Cantonese-inspired cooking, focusing on the two most important skills of the Chinese kitchen: the art of the Wonton fold and the high-heat energy of Wok cooking.
You will learn to create a clear, soul-warming broth from scratch and master the "sizzle" of the wok to achieve that elusive smoky flavor. From the delicate balance of fermented black bean sauce to the technique for perfectly separated grains in fried rice, this course will transform how you view (and cook) Chinese cuisine.
— What you'll learn to cook —
Handmade Wonton Soup
Delicate dumplings filled with pork, prawns, and shiitake mushrooms, served in a restorative ginger-infused chicken broth.
Sizzling Black Bean Chicken
Tender chicken breast stir-fried with peppers, onions, and an addictive, savory fermented black bean sauce.
Signature Special Fried Rice
The ultimate wok-fired rice, tossed with golden egg, prawns, chicken, and sweet peas for the perfect texture.
