Put a twist on your daily meals, school lunches and office snacks with this Chinese cooking class! Come and learn how to make artistic bento boxes as we guide you through the process step-by-step and teach you some of the most favourite Chinese dishes in our shop!
This London cooking class will start with an introductory talk where you will learn everything from the history of bento box making to modern-day trends. Then, it'll be time to get hands-on with your own creations.
You will find you are usually in small classes in a spacious shop with air conditioner, possibly even just you and the teacher if booking on weekdays. You will get full attention from tutors and your questions will be all answered.
During this Chinese Bento Box Making class you'll learn how to:
Prepare Plain Rice then make it into Egg Fried Rice.
Cook Tea Flavoured Eggs.
Cook Mock Crab Meat from Eggs.
Cook Scrambled Eggs with Tomato.
Dress them with an artistic style on a plate to eat in the shop or in a bento box to take home.
The class uses eggs as the main ingredients with no meat! Knife usage is very minimum. It is suitable for young learners or beginners.

This is a wonderful experience with Hanna. She is very nice and patient with us. Our cooking skill probably below average. Hanna taugh us very well. She demonstrates first and let us practice with her instructions.
The tomato and egg dish is very surprised. It looks nice and tastes good too. Never had anything like that before. However Hanna says it is the most common dish in China.
The time passed very quick. We managed to cook 4 dishes and had very full belly after eating them all. We will definitely be back for more classes.

response
Thank you very much, Jasmin, for your wonderful review!
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time with Hanna during your cooking class. She is indeed a patient and kind instructor, always willing to go the extra mile for her students. We're thrilled that she was able to teach you well and that you enjoyed practicing the recipes with her guidance.
The tomato and egg dish is indeed a classic Chinese dish, and we're happy that you found it surprising and delicious. It's always exciting to try new flavors and dishes from different cuisines.
We're also glad to hear that the time passed quickly and that you were able to cook four dishes during the class. Having a full belly and enjoying the fruits of your labour is always a satisfying feeling. We look forward to welcoming you back for more classes in the future.
Please have a look our long list of cooking classes and tasting sessions, classbento.co.uk/t/simon-and-hannas-foodie-kitchen
and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
