Thai Flavors – Interactive with Water Views! Take a culinary tour of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia to discover the flavors of South-East Asian cuisine. Inspired by Bangkok, proprietor Navjot Arora and his executive chef will share their expertise to acquaint us with the balanced flavors of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Then a tutorial on a few special dishes starting with attendees’ hand crafting their own Pork Momos – handmade steamed pork dumplings with chili sambal and fragrant soy sauce to dip. Our chefs educate us on Thai “heat” as they explain the different chilies and spices used to enhance various dishes making them not only spicy but incredibly flavorful. Learn to make a few special dishes starting with a Spicy Glass Noodle salad – shrimp, lime juice, shallots, mint, cilantro, scallions, Thai bird chilies and Thai style chicken satay – skewered marinated chicken strips, peanut sauce, cucumber onion ajat (quick pickle). Enjoy a mini-taste of a refreshing Thai Lime Margarita – lemongrass and lime reduction with a touch of agave nectar. Learn the makings of the popular Beef Thai Kua Gai – sliced beef, fresh flat noodles, pickled Daikon (turnip), egg, and basil. Chef Arora has appeared on the Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay in “Field of Greens” and is one of our favorite food educators.
