Better than Takeout: Pad Thai
About this Event

This class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.

Pad Thai, Thailand’s national dish of stir fried rice noodles, egg, vegetables, and peanuts, is regarded throughout the world as the signature dish of Thailand. And there's a good reason for such universal acclaim—a surprisingly balanced interplay of flavor, texture, and heat makes pad Thai practically sing right off the plate.

But what is pad Thai, where did it come from, and why can it be so frustrating to make at home? In this class, we’re going to explore pad Thai’s complicated history, play with its colorful ingredients, and conjure up a dish so alive and alluring it could only come from one place on Earth.

In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in recreating this Thai classic known for its diverse flavor profile of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. You will learn basic knife skills and how to build the flavor profile of an authentic Pad Thai sauce from scratch with your choice of shrimp or tofu! Once you have created your masterpiece, you will then plate, garnish and devour your creations with your fellow foodies in class. You will also gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and special spices in order to recreate the perfect Pad Thai again at home.
All you need to bring to this class is your curiosity and appetite!
