Mother and daughter duo, Mama Peggy and Jess Wang invite you to gather for an afternoon of Chinese food preservation and cookery at FCCW! We are meeting on a special day, Mama Peggy’s mama — Jess’s grandma — Ni Ni’s would-be 103rd birthday! We’ll celebrate her legacy through sharing her Liang Ban Mian (Cold Tossed Noodles) recipe, made with homemade Suancai mustard green pickles. All participants will be provided with a lunch box, with the option to enjoy in class or take home for later! Please note the dish is vegan and the noodles have gluten in them.
