Malaysian Cookery Class for Adults

Embark on a culinary journey to Southeast Asia without leaving Bristol! Malaysian food is the ultimate "fusion" cuisine—a vibrant marriage of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences. In this hands-on evening, you will move beyond the takeaway menu to master the complex, soul-warming flavours that make Malaysian food a global favourite. Led by our expert Thai chef JJ who has worked in Malaysian restaurants and hotels, you’ll learn the secrets of the rempah (spice paste), the art of balancing "sweet, sour, salty, and spicy," and how to use exotic ingredients like galangal, lemongrass, and tamarind with confidence. What You’ll Cook (unless we have someone with a need of a special diet) Our menu is designed to give you a full taste of the Malaysian "Hawker" street food scene and traditional home cooking: The Signature Laksa: Create a rich, spicy coconut curry broth from scratch, served with authentic noodles and fresh herbs. Classic Beef Rendang: Learn the "dry curry" technique to create tender, caramelized beef infused with toasted coconut and star anise. Char Kway Teow: Master the high-heat stir-fry technique to create smoky, savoury flat rice noodles with that essential "breath of the wok." Zesty Rojak Salad: A refreshing fruit and vegetable salad with a tangy, spicy dressing that perfectly cuts through rich curries. What’s Included? All ingredients and equipment. Expert tuition in a relaxed, social kitchen environment. A full sit-down meal at the end to enjoy your creations with fellow foodies. Bring a couple of Tupperwares just in case there is leftover food, so that you can take it home. You may also enjoy... The Singaporean Cuisine Cookery Class
