Youth: Vietnamese Pho (Ages 10-14)
A comforting bowl of tender chicken, rice noodles, fragrant herbs, and a complex broth.
Get ready to slurp, stir, and explore the delicious flavors of Vietnam! In this fun, hands-on cooking class, young chefs will learn how to make Phở Gà, a comforting Vietnamese noodle soup made with tender chicken, rice noodles, fragrant herbs, and a tasty broth.
Kids will prepare ingredients, discover how spices like ginger and star anise create wonderful aromas, and build their own bowls with colorful toppings such as cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, and lime. They will learn the "do's and don'ts" of the noodle bowl to avoid common phở faux pas and discover clever shortcuts for whipping up a quick bowl of phở on a busy weeknight.
To keep the cooking going at home, every student will assemble their own custom phở seasoning kit to take home.

The result is a safe and encouraging environment for students to explore their imaginations.
