About this Class

Love dumplings and eager to make them at home? Join us in this 2-hour dumpling extravaganza, where we’ll learn the basics of wrapping both Chinese dumplings and wontons. Even if you've never cooked Chinese food, you can easily learn how to make scores of dumplings with these simple techniques. After hands-on practice in wrapping, we will move on to the cooking process. You'll learn a sure-fire method for pan-frying dumplings to crispy perfection. And you'll also learn how to prepare the wontons as a deliciously spicy Sichuan appetizer, and get tips on other ways to prepare them at home. And vegetarians are welcome! Both meat and vegetarian fillings will be available to work with.
