Valentine's Day Date Night: Dumplings & Lo Mein
Discover the flavor-packed world of dumplings!
In this hands-on, intimate, 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 pork & mushroom and vegetable dumplings.
Class will begin with an introductory history lesson on the origins of dumplings and their impact on Asian cultures. Our Chef Instructor will also take you through an easy lo mean recipe to enjoy with your dumplings, and keep on the back burner for easy week night meals.
Once you have created your dumpling masterpieces and Lo Mein noodles, you will receive a takeaway container to bring your food home with you to enjoy.
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. 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 note that class will be hosted in Chef Trenica's home with ample space in the kitchen to social distance booking parties from one another. Chef Trenica is also maintaining a sanitized space, for your safety, as per CDC guidelines. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable, wearing your mask. Guests are welcome to BYOB.
