Join Artist/Chef Cai to make Hezi 盒子
Hezi is a home cooked dish, as well as popular street food. Traditionally, it is a pocket of Chinese chives with egg, called Chive Pocket (jiucai hezi). To be more adventurous, you can stuff it with any filling you want.
The fun part is making the dough from scratch and using a rice bowl and fork to cut out the the perfect shape. Making hezi is a great family activity that unites the elderly and young while enjoying food and laughter together.

Your Teacher
Artist / Chef Cai is an artist of many mediums. She has expanded her colorful painting palette to include creating in the kitchen as a studio.
Both Cai's parents loved cooking. Her mother, who was her first art critic, would diligently clean and cut the ingredients. Her father, her first art teacher, would control the temperature of the fire and the timing of the cooking until the dishes came out perfectly.
Her memory of growing up in China lingers with the aroma from her mother's kitchen and her artistic father's magic touch turning the meal table to a spread of colorful delights.
