Discover flavours of Vietnam: Vegan Bánh Giò (Rice Dumplings) Cooking Class

Join us for an exciting culinary journey into the heart of Vietnamese street food as we learn to make Vegan Bánh Giò—a savoury, pyramid-shaped dumpling wrapped in banana leaves!

Bánh Giò is a true delight for the senses, with its silky, melt-in-your-mouth rice flour dough with aromas from the banana leaves! This beloved street food is typically filled with pork, but we’ll craft a delicious plant-based version that’s just as flavourful.

You will learn how to:

• make the rice dough
• make the vegan filling
• wrap the dumplings in banana leaves
• steam them and enjoy them!

We believe in making this experience accessible for everyone, so we offer a sliding scale pricing of 35€-70€. We ask participants to reflect on their income and pay what they can, helping make this class affordable for BIPoC* and low-income earners.

Cultural exchange through cooking is a wonderful act of building more inclusive communities with people you share the city with. A fun expereince for you and your loved ones, as well as a great chance to meet new people!

Sign up today and enjoy the art of cooking, connection, and community, all while discovering the rich heritage of Vietnamese cuisine!

Vicky Truong will be guiding you through this cooking class. She was born in Australia, but inherited Vietnames, Thai, and Chinese-Teochew cultures from her family.

Her initiative–Pockets of Change–offers DEI&B training through the art of cooking. Here's your chance to enjoy one of her cooking classes without the DEI&B training. She will still touch upon topics of cultural identity, where you all get to share and reflect on yours.
