Get ready to fold, sizzle and snack your way through homemade dumplings at a lively local venue. In this hands-on 2-hour cooking class, you’ll prepare a flavorful filling with ground meat, carrots, cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger and soy, with a vegetarian option available. You’ll practice chopping, mixing and seasoning before spooning the filling into dumpling wrappers and learning how to fold them neatly by hand. No kitchen setup at home is needed, and everything takes place in a local venue with a relaxed, social atmosphere.

Then comes the best part: you’ll cook your dumplings until the outside turns crisp while the inside stays tender and juicy. You’ll also make a bright dipping sauce with soy and citrus to balance every savory bite. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical dumpling-making techniques that are easy to repeat at home, even if your kitchen skills are still a work in progress. Bring your appetite, enjoy the hands-on pace and leave with a new reason to put store-bought dumplings on notice.
