Asian Dumplings

Description

Discover the flavor-packed world of dumplings!

In this hands-on and interactive class, you will be guided step-by-step through refining your knife skills, making dumpling fillings and learning the art of folding your dumpling wrappers into various traditional shapes: mandu, gyoza and shumai. Turn these shapes into delicious chicken and mushroom dumplings with dipping sauces. Vegetarian fillings options will also be available.

You will also learn the process for boiling your dumplings. Once you have created your masterpieces, you will then plate and enjoy eating your creations with your new found foodie friends!

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. 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 (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Outside drinks are not allowed and drinks are NOT included in the ticket price. Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar. 21+ only

Meet your chef instructor

Chef Ashley grew up in a large Italian family, where cooking was the center of their lives. At the age of 15, she was working her very first job in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. She graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Austin before moving on to become the sous chef of multiple country clubs. Chef Ashley still travels regularly to hone her craft and learn more about food, culture, and how those two intersect. Her sole goal in life is to teach people not only how to make food, but to remind them that a meal is never just a meal. It's how people come together.

Where the class will be

DECA Beer Company

What began as a hobby, became a passion, and out of it came the events that brought us all together. Each of the four founders was an avid homebrewer and each had our own favorite styles of beer that we liked to brew and keep in our beer fridges. As we started to brew together, we realized that each of us could contribute a sort of expertise of those styles, that combined, would lend to a fairly diverse and well-represented tap wall. Thus DECA was born. DECA is a hangout place for beer fanatics from all around Houston. Located in Porter Texas this craft brewery has ton of beer options to choose from for any type of beer lovers.

Overall, a fun and enjoyable experience! However, I did expect a bit more based on the description of the event. For example, I wish we were able to do more than one style of making dumplings and there was no introduction to the history of the cuisine, which to me would have been valuable. Perhaps there was no time because some people arrived 15 min late. Anyway, great class!
