About this experience
Your dumpling-folding era starts now. In a welcoming local venue, you’ll learn how to turn simple ingredients into delicious handmade dumplings while picking up practical techniques you can easily recreate at home.
Begin by preparing and seasoning the filling, then learn how to portion it neatly onto individual wrappers. Next comes the satisfying part: folding and sealing each dumpling by hand, with simple techniques that help create tidy, sturdy parcels. Once shaped, you’ll cook the dumplings and discover how the right cooking method transforms the wrappers and filling into tender, savory bites. Chef Chelsea keeps the process relaxed and beginner-friendly, so imperfect folds are absolutely allowed.
