What to expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Learn to cook two dishes in your 2-hour hands-on Vietnamese cooking class in Ho Chi Minh City with Son. Firstly, learn to make a Vietnamese fish dipping sauce (nuoc mam cham) – you will use a recipe passed down from Son’s mother, her secret recipe, that ensures the dipping sauce remains unfermented for a long time. Then learn to make Vietnamese noodle spring rolls and a sweet tangy sauce (bún chả giò) – this again, is a special recipe that originates from Son’s hometown. Or then you can learn to cook Vietnamese rice porridge with chicken salad (chao goi ga) – the beloved chicken duo that claims the center at Son’s dinner table! After cooking, join Son at the table and share the meal you helped prepare. Through this experience you will get a sneak-peak into a local’s everyday life, learn about Vietnamese culture and culinary traditions, all while sharing stories and an authentic meal together!
