Join Mai Nguyen and learn to make Beef Pho, exploring the art of Vietnamese cooking as you create a fragrant and aromatic broth using two approaches: the traditional slow-cooking method in a stock pot or the quicker Instant Pot pressure cooker technique. While the broth develops its rich, layered flavour, you’ll also prepare Vietnamese-style Pork Spring Rolls served with a Nuoc Cham dipping sauce. The class concludes with assembling a complete pho noodle bowl, balancing herbs, noodles, and proteins to create an authentic, deeply satisfying dish. This is a unique opportunity to discover Vietnam’s iconic noodle bowl under the expert guidance of Mai Nguyen, a seasoned MasterChef Canada alum. Note: if you would like to take your portion of pho home, please bring a suitable container.

Spend an evening with MasterChef Canada alum Mai Nguyen exploring the art of Chinese dumplings. Start with pork and shrimp potstickers, learning to fill, fold, and pan-fry them to golden perfection using both homemade and store-bought wrappers. Then make Sheng Jian Bao, Shanghai’s famous pan-fried soup buns with crisp bottoms and juicy centres. Along the way, you’ll learn essential techniques for shaping and cooking dumplings that you can easily recreate at home. Enjoy the dumplings you make in class, with plenty to take away — please bring a container for leftovers.
