  Chinese Hot-Pot-Chinese Style Fondue with Angela Yang

  6pm-8pm Tuition: $35 Mandatory Fee: $13

   Chinese hot-pot boasts a history of more than 1,000 years. It is a healthy, versatile meal that can range from simple to fancy, and is typically enjoyed during the winter months in China - especially around the Chinese New Year. In many modern homes, the traditional coal-heated "steamboat" or hot-pot has been replaced by the electric wok. The typical hot-pot meal contains clear broth, and can include meat, seafood, leafy vegetables, and cooked bean noodles with a dipping sauce (according to individual preference). Join Angela Yang as she guides students through the creation of this fun and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy!
