Chengdu Cooking Class- Sichuan style
We love the food of China so much we decided to take two cooking classes while there. We learned how to make traditional Sichuan dishes in Chengdu and dumplings in Shanghai. We have since tried to replicate these Sichuan dishes with little luck.
Chengdu is known for its spicy Sichuan cooking and we were excited to learn a few recipes. We learned how to make twice cooked (crispy) pork, sweet and sour pork (did you know the sauce isn't suppose to be orange colored?), spicy tofu, and pork filled dumplings. Everything, even the tofu, was yummy.
She even tried to teach me how to fold the dumplings a few different ways. While I wasn't very successful, the dumplings didn't look too bad once they were cooked. Can you tell which one is hers and which is mine?
Okay, so you can tell mine is the one on the left. I clearly need to practice on my technique.
