Learn the basics of Thai cooking with Natita “Dia” Berry, a Thai native from a family of chefs. Dia has enjoyed sharing her country’s cuisine with family and friends since moving to the United States, and is looking forward to offering her expertise to Chesapeake Forum students.
Participants will learn basic techniques and seasoning principles of Thai cooking, including stir-frying in Western kitchenware and working with oyster and fish sauces.
At the end of the class, everyone will have a chance to sample Dia’s authentic Thai Stir-Fried Ginger Chicken before taking home the recipe (and skills) required to reproduce it at home.
Dia’s father-in-law, Paul Berry will join her (and believe us when we say he will be keeping the discussion lively!).
What to expect:
You will learn some of the basic techniques and seasoning principles of Thai cooking, including:
- Stir-frying
- Using oyster sauce and fish sauce
- Thai-style egg frying
And, most importantly, you will leave with a recipe and the skills to create Thai Stir-Fried Ginger Chicken as well as “Star Egg,” the Thai-style fried egg that accompanies any good Thai stir-fry.
