What You’ll Experience

A few home-cooked Chinese dishes you might try include honey-glazed cumin chicken wings (savory, sweet, and fragrant with toasted cumin), stir-fried snow peas with Chinese sausage (crisp, naturally sweet snow peas paired with rich, smoky cured sausage) or braised tofu with scallions (silky tofu simmered in a savory sauce infused with aromatic fried scallions), and handmade dumplings, the ultimate Chinese comfort food, hand-wrapped and boiled to perfection. This intimate home cooking experience in Shanghai offers a unique opportunity to connect with locals, discover authentic Chinese home cooking, and learn about Chinese food culture. It's perfect for travelers looking for an authentic Chinese cooking class and a memorable cultural experience in Shanghai.
