Make your way to the cooking studio in Shanghai in the morning or afternoon, depending on your selection upon booking. Here, a professional chef will instruct your private party in preparing three delicious dishes: Shanghai stir-fried noodles, kung pao chicken, and sweet and sour pork.

Watch as your skilled instructor demonstrates how to use a Chinese wok to stir-fry fresh ingredients and imparts the secrets of Chinese cuisine. Hear about the culinary emphasis on inner balance and the influence of principles like yin and yang.

Throughout your private, 2-hour workshop, you’re introduced to home-style recipes, specialty dishes and restaurant classics with the opportunity to learn via hands-on practice. In this fun and friendly atmosphere, you’re taught step by step how to make a balanced meal, using flavorful seasonings such as soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar.

Once you’ve learned how to cook authentic Chinese food, sit down and share your meal as you informally explore Chinese culture and customs.
