Asian Dumplings
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 Szechuan pork and ginger dumplings with a chili oil dipping sauce. Vegetarian fillings options will also be available.
You will learn the process for boiling, pan searing, and steaming 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
Chef Jennifer's passion is cooking authentic regional cuisine with a room full of newfound friends. Her culinary career started at a young age by peeking over the counter to watch her grandmother make the most amazing huckleberry pies in Cherokee County, Oklahoma. This love of food and culture brought her to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY to study Culinary Arts. She moved to Houston to pursue her Bachelor’s from the Hilton School of Hotel and Restaurant Management at The University of Houston. After her formal education, she spent ten years in the industry as a manager and food service director, but she knew her heart was in sharing the love of food with others in the classroom. This will be her 12th year teaching culinary education in high school and college. She looks forward to making food memories with you all very soon.
