The Thai Kitchen – Inspired by POK POK

POK POK is the sound a wooden pestle makes when it strikes a clay mortar. Pok Pok is also a cookbook and guide to bold, authentic Thai cooking from Andy Ricker, the past chef and owner of the wildly popular and widely lauded Pok Pok Portland restaurants.  And now, it is the inspiration for this popular class, taught by Chef Barbara Sowatsky.

In this hands-on class you will make:

  • Ike’s FAMOUS Vietnamese Chicken Wings
  • Sateh with Ajaat (Shrimp Satay & Cucumber Relish)
  • Som Tam Thai (Green Papaya Salad)
  • Phat Si Ew (Stir-fried Rice Noodles with Flank Steak and Broccoli)

Phö Anyone?

Explore the fresh and savory flavors of your favorite Vietnamese dish in Whisk’s Phö class. Learn the traditional preparation of Beef Phö, including the secrets to creating its signature clear broth and developing delicious umami flavor through the spices, herbs and cuts of meats used.

We will make two versions of the broth — one from Northern Vietnam and one from the South. While the broth simmers, we’ll keep your hands busy making Chả Giò (crispy pork egg rolls). They’ll look as good as they taste!

Then, you’ll assemble your bowl like a pro and enjoy the rich, fragrant, beef and rice noodle soup. Chef Thanh Tang will also share the history of Phö, his time-saving tips for preparing ingredients in advance and instructions for how to properly store leftovers.
