Biang Biang Noodles Cooking Class with Spice Market Tour
What Guests Love
- Off‑the‑beaten‑path market visit
- English‑speaking guide
- Hands‑on noodle making
- Authentic local cuisine
Guests say the experience begins with a small, lesser‑known market where the guide explains fruits, nuts and local products in clear English, then leads a fun, hands‑on session teaching the authentic method of making the region’s signature noodles. Participants appreciate tasting fresh ingredients on site and leaving with confidence in preparing the dish themselves, making it a memorable highlight of their visit.
What to Expect
Learn how to make Biang Biang noodles, one of China's most famous noodles and an iconic dish from Xi'An.
First, we'll head to a traditional spice market to discover local spices and ingredients that you'll cook with during your cooking class.
Then it's time for your hands-on cooking class! Under the guidance of a professional chef, you'll learn how to make Chinese Biang Biang noodles from scratch. The secret is to pull the noodles into long and broad shapes in order to get the deliciously chewy texture.
The class will be carried out in a professional cooking school and a famous local restaurant. You’ll be treated with Chinese tea as it’s the local custom to treat friends and visitors, as well as beers and other non-alcoholic beverages.
We welcome families to this cooking class and market tour — and this experience is free for children under 5.
