Chili Crisp Wonton Dumplings & Cucumber Salad

Description

Learn how to make steamed chicken wonton dumplings with homemade chili crisp and smashed cucumber salad in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Alvaro.

Get hands-on with the techniques behind these flavorful dumplings as you prepare a savory chicken or tofu filling with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallions. You’ll also build your knife skills while learning how to properly prep the fresh ingredients. Chef will guide you through several different wonton folding techniques before you steam your dumplings to perfection in traditional bamboo steamers.

What You’ll Make:

Each guest will prepare a flavorful chicken or tofu wonton filling with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallions, then learn a few different ways to fold wontons using premade wrappers. While the wontons steam, you’ll make homemade chili crisp with gochugaru, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn, sesame, spices, and crispy shallots. The aromatic oil is prepared with a hot-oil pour by the chef for safety, so there’s no frying required during class.

To complete the meal, you’ll also prepare a smashed cucumber salad with vinegar, sesame, and aromatics. Along the way, you’ll practice additional knife skills and learn techniques you can easily recreate at home.

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.

The nature of our classes is set up so that different booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Classes are intended for adults 18+. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price. Guests who are 21 and over are welcome to purchase drinks at the bar. Outside drinks are not allowed.
