Cook with the Chef: Wok Skills and Stir Fry Class with Market Tour and Condiments class

What to Expect

Chinese cooking style is very different from the western diet. The wok is the most common cooking utensils in China. A rounded shape cooking vessel can be used in many Chinese cooking techniques, including stir-frying, steaming, deep frying, braising, stewing. 

In this class, you will learn how to cook 4 different dishes. Our chef will demonstrate the first big dish, the following dishes will be made by yourself. You will start with ingredient chopping, meat marinating, sauce preparation, stir-fry and so on.

Condiments class: Explain the soy sauce, Chinese vinegar and how to choose the right wine for cooking.

Knife Skill: The Chinese Cleaver: Unlike Western culinary practices, Chinese cooking requires only one knife: the Chinese cleaver. Mastery of this versatile blade can take you a long way. Precision-slicing, fine-cutting, heavy-chopping, and even grating/crushing, the Chinese cleaver is truly an all-in-one tool. At the Beijing Cooking School, we value your passion and loyalty to our belief in cooking for excellence. Our chefs will guide you hand-in-hand to master the cleaver with efficiency and safety as a part of all of our classes.
