Join Viet Hub NZ for a comforting winter cooking workshop featuring Bánh Canh Cua, a rich and hearty Vietnamese crab noodle soup known for its thick, silky noodles and flavourful seafood broth.

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to:

• Prepare and season a traditional crab-based broth
• Work with thick tapioca or rice noodles
• Balance flavours and textures with crab meat and fresh herbs
• Present the dish beautifully, Vietnamese style

Bánh Canh Cua is a beloved Southern Vietnamese dish, often enjoyed as a nourishing family meal. Its naturally thick broth and delicate sweetness from crab make it perfect for cooler days.

Participants will cook together, share stories, and enjoy tasting the finished bowl as a group.

To help keep these classes sustainable and support ongoing community activities, there will be an additional $10 contribution per class. This supports:

• Facilitator preparation and effort
• Administration and coordination
• The continuation and expansion of community workshops

This workshop continues our collaboration with I Love Viet Food and is made possible thanks to the generous support of:

• Hutt City Council
• E Tū Whānau
• Pomare Taita Trust
• Te Mako Community Centre
• Newlands Community Centre

Spaces are limited to ensure a quality, interactive experience.

Come warm your hands, learn a new skill, and celebrate Vietnamese heritage through food.
