Cooking class
Taiwanese.
Newest addition. Four dishes: a meat roll with pancake, a mini wonton soup, Gua Bao steamed buns with slow-cooked pork (chicken possible), and Fenglisu as Taiwanese pineapple cake.
What is a Taiwanese cooking class at Julia’s?
A Taiwanese cooking class at Julia’s Cooking Studio is three hours of cooking, in which you make a meat roll with pancake, a mini wonton soup, gua bao with slow-cooked pork or chicken, and fenglisu as pineapple cake.
Taiwanese is on almost no menu in the Netherlands, and that is exactly why we have it. Less known than Chinese, and more headstrong: steamed buns, soft fillings, pastry that cracks.
Gua bao is street food, here in the expensive edition.
The bun is steamed until it is cloud-soft, and by then the meat has had hours. You fold the wontons yourself, small, and they go into a clear broth that is warm and comforting.
The fenglisu closes the evening, with crisp pastry and sweet pineapple filling. Between each course you sit at the table, and the recipes come with you.
Three hours, and this is what’s on your plate.
Meat roll with pancake
Thin pancake with sweet bean sauce, meat, cucumber and spring onion. You roll it yourself and cut it into pieces.
Gua Bao steamed buns with slow-cooked pork (chicken possible)
Cloud-like pillow bread with rich, tender pork (chicken possible). Pickled greens on top.
Mini wonton soup
Small wontons with a chicken filling in a clear, savoury broth. Warm and comforting.
Fenglisu
Taiwanese pineapple cake with crisp pastry and sweet pineapple filling. The surprising finish.
Roughly this rhythm.
Welcome
Chinese tea from Yunnan and a snack. Time to settle in, meet each other.
