Dumplings from Scratch: The Art of the Fold
Get ready to fold, fill, and feast your way through the delicious world of dumplings!
In this fun, hands-on cooking experience, you’ll discover just how satisfying—and surprisingly approachable—it is to make dumplings from scratch. Our chef will guide you through the process from start to finish, beginning with a demonstration on making the perfect dumpling dough and preparing flavorful fillings.
You’ll get to work with two delicious fillings: savory Pork & Cabbage and a Veggie filling that’s vegan-friendly. Along the way, you’ll put your knife skills to work while preparing fresh ingredients and learning how to balance flavors and textures for the perfect bite.
Then comes the best part: folding! You’ll learn the fundamentals of filling and sealing dumplings while experimenting with classic shapes and styles, including triangular, crescent, and pleated folds. Once your dumplings are ready, our chef will share the secrets to both steaming and pan-frying, so you can achieve tender, flavorful dumplings with beautifully crisp edges.
We’ll also share helpful tips and favorite local resources for finding ingredients and basic dumpling-making equipment, so you can keep the fun going in your own kitchen.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, and everything you’ll use can be easily found at local markets. Our classes are casual, social, and designed to be fun and instructive—not hardcore. Whether you’re the type who wants to jump into every step or you’d rather observe, assist, and enjoy the taste testing, there’s something for everyone.
