Far Eastern Asian Feast
This course is inspired by our favourite cuisines of the Far East from the Sichuan cuisine of China to sushi from Japan and vibrant fiery salads and curries of Vietnam. The day will cover cooking traditions and techniques, spices and herbs and some of the more unusual ingredients from Asia. We will discuss how the cooking traditions of Southern China, Japan and Vietnam interrelate.
You will get to grips with unusual ingredients and where to source them, learn to identify all the different noodles and how to use them.
You will make sushi, tasty wonton dumplings, find out how to make delicious dishes with tofu and seitan, what to do with seaweed, miso, & wasabi, how to make colourful Vietnamese curries and salads. You will learn how to get the best out of your wok, how to stir-fry noodles and make crispy noodles.
We have developed a selection of traditional dishes and meat-free versions of Asian classics on this hands-on day. Much of the cuisine of Far East Asia is also dairy free so this is a great course for vegans. The course will include lots of tasting and trying new flavours and ingredients and will end with a Far East Asian Feast.
