Escape to the vibrant streets of Thailand and learn to create two beloved classics in this hands-on cooking class: Pad see ew and the traditional papaya salad (som-tum). Hosted by our resident Thai chef instructor, you will gain unique insights into the cultural history of Thai cuisine and learn authentic traditional techniques directly from an expert source.
In this engaging and interactive class, you will be guided through each step of recreating these classic dishes, beginning with the popular flat rice noodle dish, pad see ew. Served with chicken or tofu and Chinese broccoli, you will discover how to prepare this beloved takeout favorite while maintaining its authentic, complex flavors. Learn the essential skills of seasoning and properly cooking noodles, which is an art form in itself. Next, you will prepare the famous papaya salad, a perfect palate cleanser. You will master both the traditional smacking technique with a mortar and the contemporary hybrid method of smacking in a bag, making the cooking experience fun and interactive. Once you have created your masterpieces, you will plate, garnish, and taste your creations alongside your new foodie friends.
No cooking experience is required. We provide all equipment and ingredients, which are simple to find at local markets and many home kitchens. Our classes emphasize fun and instruction while remaining casual and approachable, not overly demanding.
