Asian Takeout Cooking Class in Pittsburgh: Four Dishes

Cook four takeout favorites in two hours, then sit down and eat what you made

An Asian takeout cooking class in Pittsburgh where you make egg drop soup, sesame chicken, fried rice and banana-mango wontons from scratch with a local chef over two hours. All ingredients, equipment and take-home recipes are provided. The class accommodates dietary needs with advance notice.

The experience

You'll spend two hours in the kitchen making four American-Chinese dishes that usually come in a paper bag. The chef walks you through building a silky egg drop soup, layering flavor into sesame chicken and fried rice, and folding a banana-mango wonton dessert finished with ice cream and chocolate ganache. Each step teaches a technique you can replicate at home, and you leave with written recipes for all four dishes.

The class is hands-on from start to finish: you're not watching a demonstration, you're doing the cooking. All fresh ingredients and kitchen equipment are already there, so you arrive ready to work. Once everything is plated, you sit down together and eat the three-course meal you just made, tasting the results of each technique you learned.

The experience runs through Cozymeal, which pairs you with a top-rated local chef. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, let them know in advance and they'll adapt the recipes to suit your needs. The minimum age is 21.
