Chinese Dumplings 101
$72.00 – $89.00
In this hands-on class, we will make 3 kinds of dumpling dough. Hot water dough, cold water dough, and combo dough. These will be used to make 3 types of dumplings: steamed, boiled, and steam-fried. I will demonstrate the Mushroom Dumplings filling as well as the Pork and Shrimp Dumplings fillings. We’ll also make some dipping sauces, and talk about different ways people like to eat their dumplings!
* Please see the ingredient lists used in this class. Your kitchen may consider many of these items staples while for others, many of these items may be new. You can make any of the three dumpling fillings, Mushroom, Pork and Shrimp, or Lamb. You are not expected to make all three during class!
-(0:15) — If you have specific questions about equipment or ingredients, I’ll be online 15 minutes before the scheduled start. Additionally, feel free to drop in early to meet other participants.
