Chinese Desserts
Chinese desserts are not the sugary, sweet dishes we have in mind when we think of traditional Western desserts. China has many traditional treats, but they do not appear on the table as a sweet finish after dinner. According to the traditional Chinese diet, sweets are generally made with less sugar and eaten at breakfast or as snacks with tea. In this class, we will make China’s most popular breakfast sweet treat, sesame seed balls, as well as sweet rice dumplings, and the delightfully soupy Chinese dessert, taro and sweet potato balls.

Hand-Pulled Noodles
Across China, there are many ways to make noodles, but the distinct, toothsome chew from fresh noodles cannot be beaten. Hand-pulled noodles, as the name suggests, are made with wheat dough that is rolled and stretched by hand into long strips and then cooked immediately after pulling. I will guide you through all of the essential tips and techniques to create these comforting and craveable noodles at home. We’ll load the noodles with flavor by turning them into a savory Chinese beef stew and spicy vegetarian Dan Dan noodles.
