Take the mystery out of shopping at the Asian grocery store! Join Chef Dennis Chan for a unique culinary experience that begins with a guided exploration of an Asian market. Learn how to navigate the aisles with confidence as Chef Dennis shares his favorite ingredients, explains what to look for, and offers practical tips for selecting products you’ll actually use at home.
After our market tour, we’ll return to Blue Bamboo’s professional kitchen to transform those ingredients into three quick, flavorful meals that are perfect for busy weeknights.
On the menu:
- A Flavorful Asian Curry – a simple, versatile curry using convenient ingredients found at your local Asian market
- Fresh Vegetable Stir-Fry – learn the techniques for creating a crisp, colorful stir-fry with homemade flavor
- Scallion Pancake Wraps – flaky scallion pancakes wrapped around savory fillings for an easy and satisfying meal
- Turon – the beloved Filipino dessert featuring caramelized banana wrapped in a crispy spring roll, made with just a handful of pantry staples
Throughout the class, you’ll discover time-saving ingredients, pantry essentials, and shopping strategies that make authentic Asian cooking approachable for every home cook. You’ll leave with the confidence to explore your local Asian grocery store and the knowledge to turn unfamiliar ingredients into delicious meals.
After cooking, we’ll gather to enjoy lunch featuring the dishes we’ve prepared together.
No experience is necessary. Whether you’re visiting an Asian market for the first time or looking to expand your pantry, this class will help you shop smarter, cook faster, and discover exciting new flavors.
Class size is limited to 16 guests. Advance reservations are recommended.
