Product Info
Unlike an ordinary pho cooking class, this private workshop introduces you to the distinctive experience of Vietnamese phở bát đá — pho served in a specially heated stone bowl that helps keep the broth piping hot throughout your meal. Enjoy the rich aromas of the broth, tender noodles, and carefully prepared ingredients as you discover a memorable way to experience this Vietnamese favorite.
Your culinary journey begins with the fundamentals of pho preparation. Learn about the ingredients, how to blanch bones, and how to build a flavorful broth using traditional spices and aromatics. You will also discover how the stone bowl is prepared for serving and how its retained heat enhances the dining experience.
While the broth simmers, explore Vietnam’s coffee culture and learn to make two signature drinks, choosing from egg coffee, coconut coffee, and salted coffee.
Next, step into the world of Vietnamese bánh mì. Work with dough, practice shaping baguettes, and prepare sandwich fillings, fresh vegetables, pickles, and sauces. Discover how the French baguette evolved into one of Vietnam’s most iconic street foods.
Choose your preferred pho style: beef, chicken, or vegetarian, subject to the available ingredients and preparation method.
At the end of the workshop, enjoy your homemade bánh mì, two Vietnamese coffee creations, and a delicious bowl of pho served in a hot stone bowl.
Reserved exclusively for you and your party, this five-hour experience offers personalized instruction, practical cooking skills, and a deeper appreciation of Vietnam’s culinary traditions.
