菜單

Dish one： Stir-Fried Rice

If you want to talk about the magic of Taiwanese food, you’ve got to talk about fried rice. It’s the ultimate kitchen transformation—turning humble, everyday steamed rice into a crowd-pleasing masterpiece with just a few clever tricks. In Taiwan, fried rice is our go-to comfort food, any time of the day.

In this fun, hands-on class, we’re starting from the basics: choosing the best ingredients and mastering those essential knife skills. You’ll learn the "secret prep" to keep your rice from getting mushy, and the art of controlling the heat to get that irresistible smoky aroma (we call it Wok Hei!). By the end of the session, you’ll have the skills to whip up a legendary plate of fried rice in your own kitchen.

Dish Two: Stir-fry Traditions Passed Down from Grandma

In this cooking class, you will also master a signature stir-fry dish selected from my grandmother’s cherished recipes. While the ingredients vary with the seasons, one thing remains constant: you will experience a taste that is both authentic and full of surprises.
