Description
We hope that orders can be placed at least 24 hours ahead of the cut-off time, so that we can have more time to prepare and ensure a pleasant experience for you. We will pick you up from the hotel and take you to a homestay, where you will attend a wonton cooking class with a local chef. The class begins at 4 p. m.. Here, you will learn how to handle wonton skins that are thin yet chewy, and how to blend tender pork with seasonal vegetables (like shepherd's purse). You'll transform flat skins and fillings into perfect 'gold ingots' with your own hands. We will not only teach you how to make wontons, but also instruct you in preparing that signature broth, garnished with shredded egg crepe, dried shrimp, seaweed, and a few drops of lard, finished with piping-hot stock. When you lift that steaming bowl of big wontons, you are not only tasting its flavor, but also experiencing the refined, unhurried life in Shanghai's alleyways. Come to experience life in Jiangnan and feel its unique warmth and delicacy. After the activity, we will drive you back to the hotel.Includes
