Classic Asian Dumplings

Description

Discover the flavor-packed world of dumplings! Nothing says I love you to your 'sweet dumpling' like making and indulging in these authentic home-made Asian dumplings together. Juicy and moist, piping hot and fresh out of the steamer...you are in for a real treat!

Master the basics of creating the most delicious dumplings filled with fresh pork and cabbage. You will learn to make the filling from scratch using pork, chives, cabbage, and fresh ginger and season with condiments such as soy sauce and sesame oil - essential flavors in traditional Chinese dumplings. You’ll also get to practice your knife skills when preparing the filling, vital skills that can be applied in your home kitchen. Then, fold the dumplings into a few different shapes. Who said you can't play with your food? Consider the art of dumpling making as a fun yet therapeutic activity of origami...except you are using dumpling wrappers and not papers. It's time to let your creativity flow! Chef Annria will also expertly instruct you on how to create hot & sour soup - comforting and appetizing at the same time. This popular soup is enriched with tons of healthy, energizing ingredients such as tofu, shiitake mushroom, scallions, egg, and chicken broth. Finally, you will learn how to make a special dipping sauce to perfectly accompany your finished dumplings. Once we have prepared this wonderful feast of dumplings and soup, we will say cheers to the fruits of our labor and enjoy the meal.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Find out about our favorite resources in San Francisco for sourcing ingredients and basic equipment for dumpling making at home. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting. Please keep in mind there is pork in the recipe.

Please arrive on time, wearing your mask. Guests are invited to bring their own wine, beer, or champagne.

Meet your chef instructor

Chef Annria's love of cuisines of the world stems from growing up in South Africa, a melting pot of diverse cultures. After she moved to the U.S., she continued her love of world cuisines - both in cooking and teaching. Chef Annria was trained in the classic French style, however her interests are far and wide. There is not a cuisine she has come across that she did not like - well...perhaps offal, her grandfather's specialty!
