Make Your Own Dumplings

Description

In this complete hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create delicious Chinese Dumplings completely from scratch!  Our expert Chef Instructor will guide you step-by-step through refining your knife skills, making two different dumpling fillings, and learning the art making and folding your own dumpling dough.

Guests will have the opportunity to make a traditional pork filling or veggie filling for their dumplings.  You will learn three traditional folds to master the most authentic way to make your own dumplings at home: mandu, gyoza, and shumai.  Chef Diego will teach the proper techniques for cooking the dumplings, using both steaming and pan frying methods.  Before sitting down to enjoy your creations, you will make a scratch dipping sauce using soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil.



No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided.  Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing 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 note that class will be hosted in Chef Diego's apartment.  He is maintaining a sanitized space, for your safety, as per CDC guidelines.   Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable.  Guests are welcome to BYOB.  Chef Diego will provide non-alcoholic beverages and chips & salsa for you to enjoy throughout the class.

Guest requirement

Guests are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne.  Chef Diego will provide non-alcoholic beverages and chips & salsa for you to enjoy throughout the class.  The nature of our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment.  Chef Diego's apartment is conveniently located near the 86th Street 4, 5, and 6 trains and 86th Street Q train.  There is a parking garage that is attached to the building with an entrance on 89th Street. Additionally, guests may park at any open street space surrounding 89th & 3rd Avenue. A small caution though that street parking is limited and can be difficult to find.  Guests will have to check in with the doorman once they arrive in the building. The Doorman will let them up as soon as they are cleared. Once exiting the elevator, make a right and it is the first apartment on the left-hand side of the hall.

Diego is great and the experience was really fun and super informative! I wish I had taken a video of him cutting the onion to commit his technique to memory! Would love it if he had a class in general knife and cutting skills as well as any tools of the trade that a home cook could benefit from! What he taught us in this regard was invaluable! The dumplings were delicious and his set up was great. Highly recommended!
