Classic Asian Gyoza

Discover the flavor-packed world of the traditional Japanese pot sticker! Whether you like them soft and juicy, fresh out of the steamer or sizzling hot and crispy from the pan, you are in for a real treat with this exclusive experience for a small group!

Master the basics of creating the most delicious, classic pork filling and learn to shape 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 Cole will expertly demonstrate how to create your own dumpling skins from scratch so you can try and recreate at home. After the demo, you will continue by using high quality store-bought dumpling wrappers prepared for you ahead of time. You will also get to practice your knife skills when preparing the filling, vital skills that can be applied in your home kitchen. Finally, you will learn how to make a special dipping sauce to perfectly accompany your finished dumplings.

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 Los Angeles 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. The class may take place outdoor in Chef's personal backyard garden.

Guests are invited to bring their own wine, beer, or champagne.
