This hands-on class focuses on Phở, celebrated as Vietnam’s national dish. You move step by step from raw ingredients to a complete bowl of Pho, building confidence to recreate it after the class.

Features

• Time in the kitchen is centered on uncovering the secrets behind Vietnam’s national dish, Phở, including how each element in the bowl contributes to its final aroma and texture.
• During the broth-making stage, you learn to build the broth using traditional spices and practice cooking techniques that have been handed down through generations, with guidance on how locals balance flavors for the perfect bowl.
• A local chef/instructor leads the session with English-speaking support, explaining each step clearly and answering questions so you understand not only what to do but why it matters for authentic Phở.
• All fresh ingredients for making Pho are provided, including options for beef, chicken, or vegetarian, and you use the supplied cooking utensils and equipment throughout the class so you can focus fully on the cooking.
• Once your noodle soup is ready, a full meal is included, so you sit down to eat the Pho you have prepared, with bottled water served alongside to complete the experience.
• By the end of the class, you take home practical skills and the confidence to recreate Phở in your own kitchen, drawing on what you learned about flavor balance and technique.
