This is a fun activity in Archway, London
For years, guests have asked:
“Simon, what’s your favourite dish?”
This is the one.
Wide, hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles served with tender oven-baked beef and served with homemade chilli sauce — comforting, generous and full of flavour. It’s the kind of dish that feels like home.
This class is created especially for meat lovers who want to learn something truly hands-on and satisfying.
(If you prefer a plant-based option, you can book our vegan-friendly Biang Biang Hand-Pulled Noodle Class here, https://classbento.co.uk/w/j9dn)
A Comforting, Hands-On Cooking Experience in London
In this relaxed and welcoming class, you’ll learn how to make authentic Biang Biang noodles (La Mian) completely from scratch — just flour, water and technique.
No additives. No shortcuts. Just traditional skills passed down properly.
You’ll gently build confidence as you knead, stretch and pull your dough into long, beautiful noodles. Don’t worry if you’re new to cooking — we guide you step by step.
Classes are small and held in our spacious, air-conditioned studio. Weekday sessions are often very quiet, sometimes even private, giving you plenty of time to ask questions and enjoy the process.
In This Class, You Will Learn To:
- Make authentic hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles from scratch
- Strengthen and stretch dough using traditional pulling techniques
- Slice and prepare beef using a Chinese kitchen knife
- Season and bake the beef for maximum flavour
- Plate your dish beautifully and enjoy it fresh
If you enjoy a little heat, you can also add our Crispy Chilli Sauce experience — you’ll make a jar to share and take home.
There is something incredibly satisfying about sitting down to eat noodles you stretched with your own hands.
