Step into a Portland cooking class where the aromas of Thailand come alive as you learn how to make pad thai from scratch! In this hands-on experience, you’ll explore a classic pad thai recipe, learning how to build the sweet, salty, sour, and spicy balance that defines an authentic pad thai sauce. You’ll be guided step-by-step through preparing traditional noodles, sharpening your basic knife skills, and working with chicken as part of the dish.
As you cook, you’ll discover how approachable recreating this iconic dish can feel, even as you mix, taste, and adjust flavors along the way. Once your pad thai is ready, you’ll plate, garnish, and enjoy your creation alongside fellow food lovers in a relaxed, social setting. This Portland cooking class also offers insight into sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients and special spices so you can confidently recreate the pad thai recipe at home.
It’s a flavorful pick for things to do in Portland, whether you’re planning a casual night out or looking for memorable date ideas. Class is BYOB, so you can bring your favorite drink to enjoy while you cook. Limited seating requires groups of two or more to share stations, which may occur. Arrive 15 minutes early!
