Cooking Class - Traditional Pork Dumpling Masterclass in San Francisco

Great class and delicious food. Thanks chef Eddie!

We had such a fun time at Chef Eddie’s dumpling class! My husband and I made dumplings from scratch for the first time, and Eddie was super encouraging, upbeat, and helpful the whole way through. The dumplings turned out delicious, and he even topped off the meal with his homemade braised pork belly and dessert—such a nice touch! The whole experience felt really homey and relaxed, with a small, intimate group that made it even better. Would definitely recommend for a date night, friend hangout, or even a team bonding activity. Can’t recommend this class enough!!!

Chef Edmund is incredible! It was such a fun class and we felt like we left feeling like we could really walk away with the skills of doing this at home. He was so fun as well and made for a great date night...and the food at the end was incredible! Thank you!

We had a really great experience with Chef Eddie at the dumpling making class. Eddie was super friendly and a great host for the evening. We had a lot of fun making the dumplings and Eddie was awesome about coming around to help give each of us tips on our technique as we went. Getting a feel for what the wrappers should feel like and how to pleat them was essential and it made us feel ready to recreate the dumplings at home. The dumplings turned out delicious and the braised pork that Eddie made for us was also delicious. Would highly recommend this class to others!

What a terrific experience this was. Eddie was outstanding. I'm a school leader, and I know a good teacher when I see one - Eddie is top notch. He gave clear, kind instructions. Everyone got better in a hurry, and we had fun along the way. He was so thoughtful in the construction of the experience over the course of the evening. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would!

Eddie was a fantastic instructor, the food was fabulous, and the whole experience was fun and fascinating. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic evening that surpassed our expectations by miles! Chef Edmund was the perfect host and teacher — super organized and knowledgeable. He broke every aspect of the process down into manageable bites (pun intended). We learned a ton and had so much fun. I highly recommend this experience!

Chef Eddie is THE MAN! He is incredibly knowledgable, and takes the time to ensure that you (the student) absorb the techniques and information he’s delivering. He breaks down cooking into the art of combining 5 flavors rather than of following exact recipes, an incredibly refreshing and delicious take on how to operate your kitchen. Overall 10/10! Thanks so much Chef! We’ll be back for the next class you offer!!

Chef Eddie’s love for sharing cooking is amazing. His positive attitude and chill friendly chef guidance made the entire experience enjoyable! We definitely will be on the lookout for future cooking classes with Chef Eddie !!!

Chef Edmund was AWESOME!!!

Had such a great time! Informative and fun. He makes the process easy to follow and keeps the group a good size! Delicious outcome. Thank you!

This was such fun and delicious evening, the perfect antidote to Sunday scaries. It is truly an all-levels class. No prior dumpling skills required, but there's more to learn even for experienced Chinese food eaters/makers. I took this class with a friend, but it would be a great date night or work team-building activity. Chef Eddie makes this fun for everyone. As soon as I got home, I started looking for my next class with him.

We had such a great time making dumplings with Eddie! Neither of us had any prior experience and Eddie is a true master - the class is super fun and also super instructive. We just hosted a dumpling dinner party with our friends using Eddie’s recipe and everyone loved it!

Chef Eddie was a fun, patient and all around amazing instructor. We had a great time and would definitely do another experience in the future!
