Actually, go watch some youtube videos. There's plenty of bored and lonely c-lais that teach you how cook chinese food.

If it's cantonese cooking, the first thing you should do is learn what sauces and ingredients to buy. Assuming you've got a discerning palette, you can start getting familiar with the tastes, textures and saltiness of each. Then you can figure out what to mix into a basic stir-fry.

I've checked out the VCC program and it seems to be more of a serious vocation program than "for fun"... That VCC program seems to be targetting people who want to work in the kitchen. I just want to learn for the sake of learning to be a better cook. I want something like that, but say 8 lessons on chinese cooking.. or something similar.

I understand that cantonese cooking doesn't have measurements.. it's kind of a "whatever" you feel. I really want something I can quantify with.
