Get ready to explore bold flavors and hands-on fun in this Vietnamese-inspired dumpling-making class in Alexandria! Led by Chef Jocelyn, this interactive workshop will teach you how to make dumplings from scratch using fresh, accessible ingredients.
You’ll learn to prepare a savory pork filling—with chicken and tofu options available—learn how to make your own dough, shape wrappers, and practice folding techniques. Then, cook your dumplings to perfection by steaming, boiling, or pan-frying, and finish with a homemade dipping sauce packed with flavor.
Chef JC will also share his favorite tips for sourcing ingredients and essential tools from local Asian markets. Whether you’re a total beginner or just love to cook, this class is fun, approachable, and full of Vietnamese-inspired taste.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as enjoyable for cooking enthusiasts who want to be involved in every step as it is for first-timers who prefer to observe and assist (or just taste-test).
You will be seated with your booking party, and guests in the same party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment.
