Learn cold noodle and wolf-teeth potato at local home
Overview

I was born in Zigong, Sichuan. My parents both work in Zigong salt factory (Zigong produces well salt) and my grandpa used to be a boiler man in salt factory. So my life has an intimate connection with salt. Now I live in Chengdu.
Cold noodle and wolf-teeth potato are the most popular snacks in Zigong. The most exciting things in my childhood is to go to the grocery next to school to buy cold noodle or wolf-teeth potato after school, eat them and come back home with my classmate. My mom had opened a food stall to sell cold noodle and wolf-teeth potato for many years. If I was at home, l would help her to cut and fry potato, steam and cool noodle. My mom's stall was very popular because her flavor was good and unique. Now if I'm homesick, I will cook this two dishes at home with well salt and chili from my hometown, it's absolutely authentic Mom's flavor.

5.00karen is very warm and kind. She introduced many background about Sichuan food. I learned how to make chill oil and this is my favorite part. I can’t wait to cook it when I come back home. It’s at karen’home. Her home is very sweet and has a beautiful garden. She picked a grapefruit from the citrus tree in her yard and gave it to me to eat. The grapefruit was particularly fragrant. The scallions used in the cooking class were also picked directly from her vegetable garden. High recommend to join this cooking class.
Amazing!!!

5.00We had an amazing time learning to cook with Karen!! She welcomed us into her home and was very friendly. The recipe for the meal was passed down from her grandparents and very authentic. I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone interested in learning more about chinese cuisine, or looking to eat some great local food.
Thanks Karen!

5.00I had a fantastic time cooking with Karen at this experience! She explained what I needed to do perfectly and guided me every step of the way. The dishes were quick and simple to make, yet absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be making them when I return home! Karen is a fantastic host, making me feel totally welcome in her home. She told me a great deal about life & culture in China, along with some great tips on what to do during my stay in Chengdu. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Chengdu!
