Growing Chefs! at Home: Lesson 10

We have a special guest for lesson 10!

Executive Chef Ben Mattman from the Vancouver Marriott shows you how to cook a tasty stir fry at home.

He shares what he likes in his stir fry, and even explains a chef’s mise en place, a French term that means having all your ingredients prepared and organized before you begin cooking. We hope you can imagine how good the stir fry smells and tastes while you watch the video. Think about what you would put in your own stir fry!
