Cooking Class: Dumplings Made by Hand

Get inspired by the flavors of Asia in this exciting cooking class with Chef Mary. 


Under the guidance of Chef Mary, you'll learn how to make authentic homemade dumplings from scratch. Begin the class by making dumpling wrappers using flour, water and salt. Then, work on your gyoza filling using pork or mushrooms flavored with garlic and cabbage. Chef Mary will teach you the technique to fill and fold your dumplings, then fry them until golden. Serve alongside a flavorful soy-ginger dipping sauce. You'll also learn how to make the perfect steamed sushi rice to serve alongside your dumplings. For dessert, a fluffy Japanese soufflé cheesecake will satisfy your sweet tooth. Along the way, practice knife, cooking and baking skills that you can take back into your own kitchen.
