We help you cook any vegetable without needing a recipe.

We believe the quickest and easiest meal is one that you spend the least amount of time thinking (or agonizing!) about what to make, prepping ingredients, and doing dishes. After taking our courses, you will be able to confidently cook any vegetable without a recipe.

4-Step Plan to Eating Your Veggies with Fewer Dishes

We use Chinese-inspired techniques to help you prep and cook smarter.

Our 4-step method empowers you to make delicious, healthy meals with minimal planning and clean up.

1.

Learn to pick the best ingredients.

Great tasting food starts with high-quality (not necessarily expensive) ingredients.  Our method of cooking works with any vegetable, so you can pick what is fresh and not be limited to a specific recipe.

 

2.

Minimize prep time.

When you’re not limited to a specific recipe, you can make impromptu decisions about how much prep time you want to spend. We’ll show you how to prep efficiently, as well as how to get faster each time you cook.

 

3.

Keep the crisp in the veg.

Gone are the sad days of soggy veggie slop after spending all that time and energy.  We’ll show you how to cook veggies that are full of flavour and crunch.

4.

Enjoy more time eating, not doing dishes.

After your belly is full and content, the last thing you want to do is spend a few hours doing dishes.  Our approach is mindful of minimizing pots, dishes, and tools.

I really enjoy Asian Food Lab's classes.  Not only am I learning how to cook delicious food, but I am doing it from the comfort of my own kitchen.  Karen is knowledgeable, patient and well organized.  I have learned so much about cooking.  Highly recommended!
