Learn to cook some Street Food Sichuan dishes, with Wontons, spicy Dan Dan Noodles and a fresh Smacked Cucumber Salad – perfect if you like your food with a bit of heat.
In this hands-on Chinese cooking class in Edinburgh, we’ll spend three hours making some of our favourite dishes from Sichuan, a region of China famous for its bold cooking and liberal use of chilli and Sichuan peppercorns.
You’ll learn to make Wontons, including preparing the filling and getting to grips with folding them, before moving on to Dan Dan Noodles with their rich, spicy sauce. We’ll also make Smacked Cucumber Salad – fresh, garlicky and the perfect contrast to the heat of the other dishes.
You’ll make everything on the menu, working in pairs, so you’ll get hands-on with every recipe. Along the way, you’ll learn more about the ingredients and techniques behind Sichuan cooking, and how to balance heat, spice and seasoning to make dishes you’ll want to cook again at home.
As with all classes at The Wee Kitchen, this is a relaxed, sociable cooking experience. There’ll be demonstrations and guidance along the way, plenty of time to cook, and we’ll sit down together at the end to enjoy everything we’ve made.
Come on your own, bring a friend or make a date night of it. No previous cooking experience is needed, and if you’re already a confident cook, there’s still plenty to get stuck into.
The class is BYOB, so bring along something you’d like to drink while you cook.
All classes take place at Cyrenians Flavour and Haver Cook School in Leith, check out our venue guide for transport, accessibility and more.

This class is BYOB, so you’re very welcome to bring along drinks to enjoy during the session. We’ll sit down together at the end to enjoy the food we’ve prepared.
You don't have to bring anything. However, I recommend that you bring an apron, a tupperware for leftovers, and since it's BYOB - something to drink.
You’ll be working in pairs during the class. If you’re booking on your own, don’t worry - you’ll be paired up on the day.
Our classes can be adapted to suit a range of dietary requirements. These lists highlight some of the dietary needs we can and can't accommodate, but they aren't exhaustive. If you don't see your requirement listed or you're unsure, please get in touch before booking and we'll be happy to advise.
Our kitchen is cleaned and maintained to a high standard, but we can't guarantee it's completely free from allergens. For this reason, our classes aren't suitable for people with coeliac disease.
Please let us know about any dietary requirements when you book so we can make sure we have the right ingredients ready.
