Halbtägige Xi'an Biang Biang Nudeln Kochen mit Marktbesuch

We had an amazing experience with Fiona, who taught us all about the difference spices and their use both in the cuisine and for the traditional Chinese medicine, answering all of our question with kindness and knowledge. We also had a chance to taste some delicious typical dishes from a local market and she gave us tips on how to distinguish tourist places from the more authentic ones. Then we headed to the kitchen where we had a delightful class with the amazing chef Lily, who patiently taught us how to prepare dumplings from the filling to the folding -and it is much harder then you expect- but at the end it is very satisfying to taste the food that you prepared (almost) on your own. To sum it up, a very nice and insightful experience where you get to learn a bit more about the Chinese food and culture directly from the locals. Definitely worth it!

We loved the experience. From the spice market, we have enjoyed a lot, and the class was very easy to follow, always very entertaining, and we found the final result delicious. Both our guide Fiona and the cook were very attentive and dedicated to us; we were able to learn a lot about Chinese culinary culture and many recipes.

I've tried to make biang biang noodles at home, but always had problems with the technique, so I booked this class while in Xi'An. The class started with a nearby market tour and we went to the kitchen after. Everything was prepared for the class and the kitchen is well equipped and super clean. Michael is a very nice guy, he explained and showed everything to me. The biang biang noodles were one of the best I had and I actually managed to make them myslef :) The class is a hand-on experience and you cook all the dishes yourself, which I like. We also prepared a starter (very good one!) and had some tea and beer. Even though I was the only person in the class (I booked a group tour), they didn't cancel - I really appreciate that. When I go back to Xi'An in a bigger group, we will definately attend the class.

Michael, our host and teacher, took our group for a tour of the markets, teaching us about various spices and ingredients. The cooking class was very well conducted and I am excited to try out Noodle making at home!

The Biang Biang noodle class and market visit was an incredible experience. Michael was very friendly and walked us through the market to collect the ingredients for the Biang Biang noodles. The number of spices on offer was amazing! It was very fun making the noodles from scratch and Michael's expert guidance has inspired us to try this recipe back in Australia when we are home!

Michael was a fantastic host and instructor. It was wonderful to learn how to make Biang Biang noodles and enjoy them afterwards. What a fun experience! Michael was also able to accommodate my dietary restrictions (vegetarian) with no problem. I highly recommend this experience! I look forward to try and recreate the noodles back home for my friends and family.

I had a fantastic time with Michael. We had a lot of fun - wandered through a local market and bought fresh ingredients which we used for our cooking. The kitchen was a short walk from the market. Making the noodles was a lot of fun and we got to slurp our way through them afterwards for lunch. Would highly recommend this activity!!

Do you want to create your own chinese noodles? Then Michael will show you how to make it. At first you will have a tour through a traditional chinese food market and learn everything about Chinese fruits and spices. Then it is on you to create with your hands the noodles for the meal. Meanwhile you experience cold Chinese dishes waiting to be dicovered. Finally you can enjoy the Self cooked masterpieces. We had a Great time together with Michael and learned a lot more about China.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience cooking Biáng Biáng noodles with Michael, and we couldn’t recommend it more. From the very beginning, Michael made the experience special by taking us to a local market, where we explored ingredients, tasted different spices, and discovered vegetables we had never seen before. He explained everything in a clear, engaging way, answering all our questions and helping us understand not only what we were buying, but why those ingredients matter in local cuisine. It felt like pure curiosity-driven exploration, guided by someone who truly knows and loves the culture. The cooking class itself was incredibly fun and hands-on. Michael created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, making the process of learning Biáng Biáng noodles both accessible and memorable. We had a lot of fun, learned a ton, and by the end, we genuinely felt confident that we could recreate the dish at home. More than just a cooking class, this was a deep and valuable immersion into local life and food culture in Xi’an. If you’re looking to learn how to cook a traditional dish and connect with the culture in a meaningful way, this experience is a must. Highly, highly recommended!

Michael was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the experience. The cooking studio experience started with shopping at the local market, which made it a really nice way to explore the area as well. Everything was well organized and fun, and I truly enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you so much!
