Meet your local guide and begin with a visit to a traditional Vietnamese market, where you’ll discover how local people shop and select the freshest ingredients for their daily cooking. Then hop on a bicycle and ride through the peaceful countryside to Tra Que Vegetable Village, passing fragrant herb gardens and lush green fields that fill the air with the scent of freshly grown produce. Arrive at a local family home, where everything is prepared for your hands-on cooking class. Under the guidance of your hosts, you’ll first prepare fish wrapped in banana leaves (or chicken as a substitute), learning the traditional technique that keeps the dish moist and aromatic. Next, you’ll roll classic Vietnamese spring rolls using a local family recipe, followed by frying authentic Hoi An-style Banh Xeo – a crispy golden pancake filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. Once everything is ready, sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you prepared with your own hands in a warm, family-style atmosphere. After the meal, cycle back through the countryside to the starting point, ending a memorable and authentic culinary adventure in Hoi An.
