Discover the deep, savoury flavour of one of Shanghai’s most loved noodle dishes in this hands-on Chinese cooking class in London.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to make Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles (Cong You Ban Mian) — a simple yet incredibly flavourful dish made with freshly cooked noodles, aromatic spring onion oil and a rich soy-based sauce.
In Chinese culture, long noodles symbolise long life, which makes this class a wonderful idea for a birthday gift or special celebration.
Your friendly teachers will guide you step-by-step through the process of making noodles from scratch and creating the signature scallion oil that gives this dish its unforgettable aroma. Even if you're completely new to cooking, you'll feel comfortable and supported throughout the experience.
Classes take place in a spacious, air-conditioned London cooking studio with small group sizes, so you receive plenty of personal attention. On quieter weekdays, you may even enjoy a private class experience.
As a special touch, some of the spring onions used in this class are grown by the chefs at home, making the dish even fresher and more meaningful.

female Women-owned

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
