Shan Traditional Cooking Class
About this experience
A cooking class focused on traditional Shan cuisine, a culinary culture found in northern Thailand, the Shan State in Myanmar and areas close to the Thai–Myanmar and southern Chinese borders. Shan food is quite different from central Thai cuisine: it generally uses less sugar and coconut, except in some desserts, and plain rice is more common than sticky rice. The experience starts with a visit to a local market, where participants buy the ingredients that will later be used during the cooking class.
