Thu 1 Mar, 7-9:30 pm. Steaming has long been considered one of the healthiest ways to cook because it retains much of food’s natural flavors and nutrients. It is perhaps nowhere more prevalent than in Asia, where this particular cooking technique has been perfected through centuries. In this class, cooking instructor and author Wai Chu will teach you all about steam cooking using equipment you probably already have in your kitchen, including ways to steam foods in the oven. Then you’ll cook up an entire meal (even dessert.) using this practical cooking method. You’ll prepare shiitake mushroom steamed buns; fish and snow peas cooked in parchment; “clay-pot” rice with chicken and bamboo shoots; ginger-spiced carrots and for dessert steamed banana cupcakes.
