What you'll do
Get your hands floury and your chopsticks ready in this dumpling making class in DC! Join us for a fun and flavorful dive into Chinese culinary tradition in this interactive dumpling-making class, ideal for first-timers and food lovers alike.In this two-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to craft jiaozi (饺子)—the iconic Chinese dumplings beloved for their comforting flavor and festive significance. Guided by Chef Dobbie, we’ll kick things off with a short cultural intro, exploring the rich history and symbolism of jiaozi, especially their place at the center of Lunar New Year feasts. Then it’s apron-on as you mix, knead, and roll your own dough, hand-shape dumpling wrappers, and prepare two delicious fillings: a savory ground pork and scallion blend and a vibrant vegetarian option.You’ll practice essential knife techniques, master a variety of folding styles—from basic folds to beautifully pleated crescents—and cook your dumplings using classic methods: steamed, boiled, or crispy pan-fried. You’ll also whip up a flavorful dipping sauce to pair with your creations before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of your labor.This class is designed to be fun, relaxed, and totally approachable. No experience? No problem! We provide all the tools and ingredients—most of which you can easily find at your local store if you’re inspired to recreate the magic at home. Whether you’re eager to shape every dumpling by hand or prefer to watch and taste as you go, there’s a spot at the table for you.
