Hanoi on Oxford Street: Master Vietnamese Street Food in Two Hours.
Bold, aromatic and full of fresh flavours, this hands-on session at The Jamie Oliver Cookery School on Oxford Street immerses participants in Vietnamese street food: across demonstrations and practical stations you’ll get to grips with five Vietnamese-style dishes — from a perfectly spiced chicken pho to prawn summer rolls — then sit at the chef’s table to eat what you’ve made.

Five authentic street-food dishes
The class teaches five Vietnamese-style dishes, including sweet & spicy pork balls, prawn summer rolls, a crunchy summer salad, nuoc cham dipping sauce and a good-for-the-soul chicken pho — all prepared and eaten in-session.
Technique-first, hands-on learning
Expect demonstration and practical time: you’ll learn how to build a spiced broth for pho, bash up an aromatic lemongrass‑chilli paste for pork balls, and sharpen knife skills while julienning fresh vegetables.
Chef’s table dining and take-home recipes
After cooking, participants take a seat at the chef’s table to tuck into their Vietnamese street-food spread; a complimentary glass of bubbles (or soft drink) is served on arrival and a digital recipe pack is provided to recreate the dishes at home.
