Handmade Dumplings: Techniques & Traditions
Discover the timeless art of dumpling making in this fun, hands-on culinary experience with Chef Troy.
Whether you're a devoted dumpling lover or trying your hand at these comforting favorites for the first time, you'll learn the techniques and traditions behind one of Asia's most beloved dishes while creating delicious handmade dumplings from scratch.
What You Will Make:
In this interactive workshop, Chef Troy will guide you through the process of preparing flavorful fillings, working with dough and wrappers, and mastering a variety of classic folding techniques. You'll explore time-honored methods passed down through generations as you learn how to shape, cook, and serve your creations with a flavorful dipping sauce. By the end of class, you'll sit down to enjoy your freshly made dumplings and leave with the confidence to recreate them at home.
No Experience Necessary!
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 enjoyable for cooking enthusiasts who want to be involved in every step as it is for first-timers who prefer to observe and assist (or just taste-test).
Please Arrive 15 Minutes Early to Check In:
You will be seated with your booking party, and guests in the same party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks are not included in the ticket price but will be available for purchase at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed.
