We’ve now had 5 cooking classes and they’ve all been excellent. This was different in that we each picked a meal to cook and then while we all prepped individually, each student cooked their meal in front of the others and then we ate what they cooked.
We had 10 students. That’s 10 meals. You had to roll us out of there we had so much food! And such a nice variety. We started at 8:15am with a market tour, then proceeded over to her house where we cooked & ate until about 3:30pm.
Jack cooked the local Hoi An noodle dish, which I had assigned to him thinking it would be one of the easier ones, and it turned out to be move involved and require more steps than any other dish!
Michelle cooked a pumpkin soup which also contained shrimp and was divine. We’re going to have to find this pumpkin so we can grow it in our garden.
I cooked a pork clay pot dish. I learned that you want the fat and how to braise / brown it in an oil/sugar mixture & then combine it with green papaya which was awesome.
(no pics boo hoo)
We had so many spring rolls, I helped cook them and they were amazing. They were made with two wrappers instead of one. You took the completed roll, wrapped it in lettuce & herbs and then dip it into your sauce. WOW.
Guess who’s sauce is whose! (red = more heat)
Tomorrow we go snorkeling @ Cham Island. Should be fun!
