Vietnamese cuisine is surprisingly easy to whip up at home. And since most recipes are low in sugar and naturally gluten-free, it's also particularly healthy. This class begins with a quick discussion about the five fundamental tastes that underly Vietnamese cooking and the ingredients specific to this. Our first recipe teaches techniques for working with rice paper as we make Vietnamese summer rolls packed with fresh veggies, shrimp and vibrant herbs, paired with a homemade peanut dipping sauce. Learn about the influence French colonialism had on Vietnam’s culinary traditions as we put together the classic Bánh Mì, a crusty baguette sandwich filled with meat, herbs and peppers. Vietnam’s food is generally not spicy, but our third recipe brings the heat using Thai chilies and chili garlic sauce. The Lemongrass Chicken over Vermicelli Noodles showcases the incredible depth of flavor Vietnamese food can easily achieve at home.
