ABOUT THIS CLASS

COURSE #2 CHINESE TAKE-OUT AT HOME

Love Chinese takeout? Now imagine being able to create those familiar favourites right in your own kitchen.

YOU GET: 365-Day Access to online video instruction for all of the following 3 modules, 12 lessons, and 14 downloadable printable recipes:

Chinese Takeout at Home is a full-featured cooking course where Chef Dez guides you through twelve recipes across three modules, covering saucy restaurant-style classics, fried rice and noodles, crispy appetizers, dumplings and comforting soups. 

But this course is about more than recreating a takeout menu. Along the way, you’ll build confidence with the ingredients, preparation methods, sauces and cooking techniques that bring these dishes together, giving you skills you can carry into your own Asian-inspired cooking.

Module #1: Classics

We’re starting with the dishes that make opening a Chinese takeout container such a beautiful moment!

You’ll prepare Beef & Broccoli, followed by crispy, saucy Ginger Beef, sticky and savoury-sweet Honey Garlic Pork, classic Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, and colourful Chicken Chop Suey.

As you work through these recipes, you’ll gain experience preparing meats and vegetables, creating sauces from scratch, managing cooking temperatures and timing multiple components so everything comes together properly.

The goal is not simply to make these five dishes. It’s to start understanding the techniques behind them so you can walk into the kitchen with greater confidence when the wok or frying pan comes out.

Module #2: Rice & Noodles

Great Chinese takeout simply wouldn’t be complete without rice and noodles.

In this module, you’ll learn how to transform simple ingredients into three takeout favourites: Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Chow Mein and Shanghai Chow Mein.

We’ll explore the importance of ingredient preparation and organization, controlling heat, properly cooking and combining ingredients, and understanding how sauces and seasonings work with rice and different styles of noodles.

By the end of this module, you may find yourself looking at leftover rice in the refrigerator very differently!

Module #3: Appetizers

Now we get our hands dirty, figuratively speaking... although a little flour and filling on your fingers is practically inevitable. 🥟

You’ll learn to prepare homemade Egg Rolls, followed by Pot Stickers with Dipping Sauce. Then we’ll tackle Wontons, learning how to prepare and shape them before turning them into a comforting bowl of Wonton Soup.

We finish the module with Hot & Sour Soup, bringing contrasting flavours together into one bold and satisfying bowl.

These recipes provide a chance to develop some wonderfully hands-on kitchen skills while showing you that homemade appetizers and dumplings don’t have to be intimidating.

More Than a Collection of Takeout Recipes

Throughout Chinese Takeout at Home, Chef Dez will help you understand the importance of mise en place, ingredient preparation, heat management, timing, sauce building, balancing flavours and cooking ingredients in the proper sequence.

We’ll also have some fun along the way with Chinese food trivia, interesting facts, ingredient knowledge and stories behind some of the dishes, because knowing a little more about the food you’re cooking makes the journey that much more interesting.

By the end of the course, you’ll have completed three modules and twelve recipes, while developing techniques and kitchen confidence you can apply far beyond the dishes featured in the lessons.

Put down the takeout menu, grab your apron and fire up the kitchen. Tonight, the best Chinese takeout in the neighbourhood might just be coming from your own stove! 🥢🥡
