Melanie Wong will be teaching us how to use classic Chinese ingredients like fermented black bean and garlic sauce and Shaoxing cooking wine to make a homey stir-fry. We will make a chicken stir-fry with assorted vegetables in fermented black bean and garlic sauce with long-grain rice. While you will receive the full ingredient list and recipe feel free to use the fall bounty and proteins available to you for this flexible dish. We will chat about Chinese ingredients and seasonings, cooking techniques, and food and culture.
Cooking classes take place on Zoom, with participants cooking along at the same time with Melanie! Once you sign up, you’ll get the recipe emailed to you. The recipe will also have many substitutions and we are available to help participants tailor the recipe to their availability and food preferences.
