A Taste of Thailand: Pad See Ew & Papaya Salad
Due to limited seating, this class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.
Escape to the streets of Thailand as we create two heartwarming and flavor-packed classics, Pad See Ew and the traditional Papaya Salad (Som-Tum). Hosted by our resident Thai Chef Instructor, you will have the unique opportunity to learn the cultural history of Thai cuisine and traditional techniques from the most authentic source!
In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in recreating these classic dishes, beginning with the popular flat rice noodle dish, Pad See Ew. Served with chicken or tofu and a Chinese broccoli, you'll love learning how to recreate this popular takeaway dish on your own without compromising on traditional flavors. Learn how to season and properly cook your noodles, which we've learned is a skill all on its own. You will then make the famous Papaya salad to enjoy as a palate cleanser. You will learn the ‘Tum (smack)’ techniques on the traditional mortar and the hybrid 'smack in the bag' alternative. Who says cooking can't be fun?! Once you have created your masterpieces, you will then plate, garnish and enjoy tasting your creations with your new found foodie friends!
