WHAT YOU’LL DO
Build two fillings, learn the fold and pan-fry your own dumplings from scratch.
Get hands-on with the art of homemade dumplings in this cooking class with Chef Jesse. You will learn how to build a balanced filling, fold each dumpling cleanly and pan-fry them for that signature crispy bottom and tender top, skills that carry across countless dumpling styles.
You will prepare chicken and vegetable dumplings with green onion as well as a fresh cabbage and carrot version brightened with ginger. Once folded, you will pan-fry them to order and serve them with a vibrant smashed cucumber salad tossed in garlic and chili. Warm ginger and orange poached pears bring the class to a fragrant close.
