Sambal Matah
Sambal Matah is a vibrant, spicy raw condiment that adds a burst of flavour to any meal. Made with finely chopped shallots, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and chillies, this sambal is both aromatic and refreshing. The ingredients are mixed with a touch of coconut oil and seasoned with salt and lime juice. In our class, you'll discover the balance of flavours that makes Sambal Matah so special. Learn how to pair it with various dishes to enhance your culinary creations with a true taste of Bali.

This versatile dish can be made with various ingredients, including vegetables, chicken, shrimp, and a unique blend of spices and sauces. In our cooking class, you'll learn to make Nasi Goreng from scratch using traditional techniques and fresh, local ingredients. We'll show you how to achieve the perfect balance of flavours and textures, ensuring your fried rice is both delicious and visually appealing.
Plecing
Plecing is a healthy and flavourful salad made with long beans, water spinach (kangkung), or other green veggies, and a spicy tomato-based sauce. This dish is a favourite in Bali for its refreshing taste and nutritional benefits. The vegetable is blanched until tender and then tossed with the sambal, which includes tomatoes, chillies, shrimp paste, and lime juice. In our class, you'll learn how to prepare Plecing Kangkung, balancing the spicy, tangy, and sweet flavours to create a harmonious dish.
Banana Fritters
Banana Fritters, or Pisang Goreng, are a popular Indonesian snack enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. These fritters are made by coating ripe bananas in a light batter and frying them until golden brown. The result is a crispy exterior with a sweet and soft interior.
