Class Description:
Get cozy and comfy tonight, we’re cooking up some of your favorite Chinese restaurant classics. In this hands-on experience, you'll master the art of crafting celebrated Chinese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors of traditional favorites. Your guide is our long-time instructor, Chef Sergio Lara, who has a passion for culinary education in global cuisine.
Tonight, you will be preparing a menu of comforting favorites, starting off with a must-have: the Crab Rangoon appetizer. We’ll take light wonton wrappers and fill them with crab and savory cream cheese mixed with scallions, onion, and garlic, and twisting into the iconic four-pointed star shape before frying them to a golden crisp.
 
For our main, we’re learning how to make a Chinese favorite: Orange Chicken, crispy fried chicken tossed in a fruity, sweet and tangy sauce that is cooked until it’s a caramelized glaze. And it wouldn’t be Chinese favorites if you didn’t have the Fried Rice. Tonight, you’re taking white rice, eggs, carrots, green onions, peas, and garlic, and sautéing them together with soy sauce, flavorful oyster sauce, and toasted sesame oil for a nutty and savory flavor finish.
 
As a side, we will have Wonton Soup with Dumplings. We’ll demonstrate how to create pillowy dumplings filled with pork or shrimp, along with the basics of creating a savory soup broth. Rounding out tonight’s menu, you will prepare Bok Choy, a common and versatile green used in many Chinese dishes. Sautéed to perfection with garlic and ginger, this bright vegetable is a perfect companion to the heavier mains.
 
To end your evening with Chef Sergio, he’s going to share a simple and light dessert of Ice Cream paired with an Almond Biscuit for a creamy and crunchy finish. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a culinary enthusiast, this class promises to be fun night with delicious food!
