Unlike simply tasting Phở at a restaurant, this class lets you uncover the secrets behind Vietnam’s national dish. You’ll learn how to build the broth layer by layer using traditional spices, practice cooking techniques handed down through generations, and discover how locals balance flavors for the perfect bowl. The experience is hosted in a warm, family-style setting, giving you authentic insight into Vietnamese food culture. By the end, you’ll not only enjoy your own steaming bowl of Phở but also take home the skills and confidence to recreate this iconic dish wherever you are.

Join us for an authentic cooking experience where you’ll learn how to prepare Phở, Vietnam’s most beloved noodle soup. Guided by a local chef, this hands-on class takes you through every step of the process, from preparing a fragrant broth to balancing fresh herbs, spices, and toppings. Begin with an introduction to the essential ingredients that give Phở its signature aroma—star anise, cinnamon, ginger, and more. Learn how to simmer the broth for depth of flavor, cook rice noodles to the perfect texture, and prepare traditional garnishes like lime, chili, basil, and bean sprouts. Finally, enjoy your homemade bowl of steaming Phở, paired with local side dishes and a refreshing drink. Perfect for food lovers of all levels, this class offers not just a meal but a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culinary traditions.

Wonderful gift of knowledge and experience!

We took the night train to Sapa and took a taxi to the class. It was in a hostel where we met our beautiful teacher, Mia. She spoke very good English and warmly welcomed us. The hostel allowed luggage storage which was very convenient. Our class began with a showing of the ingredients which were locally sourced. She said the chicken was very fresh. She guided in the order of preparation and we acted as sous chefs. The soup takes about one hour to simmer at which time we had very nice, natural c...read more

Amazing Cookingclass

We joined a cooking class for making Pho Bo and Pho Ga, and it was a wonderful experience. The class started with a visit to the Sa Pa market, where we bought all the ingredients together.

Overall, it was not only educ...read more

A culinary and cultural journey with Sisi

The workshop with Sisi was truly engaging from start to finish. We began at the local market, where she guided us through the bustling stalls, explained everything in detail, and gave us as much time as we needed to explore the place at our own pace. Afterwards, she carefully selected the ingredients for preparing pho. The soup itself was unique – neither the classic pho ga nor pho bo – but that made the cooking process all the more fascinating. What stood out even more was Sisi herself: she op...read more
