Handmade Asian Noodles and Dumplings

A hands-on cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner served with wine and beer.

With just flour and water, you will use these two simple ingredients to make two kinds of Asian noodles and one dumpling.

SJB is a relatively unknown cousin to the popular XLB, just doughier and pan-fried. Mee pok is a yellow flat noodle dish of Teochew origin, and served throughout Southern China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Contrasting with the delicate flat shape of mee pok, your biang biang mian are thick, belt-like noodles. You will practice gently stretching and banging the dough on the table to shape them; trust us, it's quite fun! 

Tuck into a delicious plate of noodles and dumplings with Linda as your guide!
