This is a fun activity in Archway, London
This hands-on cooking experience is dedicated to one of China’s most beloved street foods — savory Chinese pancakes.
In this fun and interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to make Jian Bing (Chinese breakfast pancakes) and Shanghai scallion pancakes from scratch. These crispy, flavourful pancakes are famous across China and are perfect for anyone who loves Asian street food and bold flavours.
