Steaming a perfect wonton dumpling from scratch is one of those kitchen wins that sounds intimidating but is way more doable than you’d think -- and this New York City cooking class with Chef Alvaro is proof! Whether you’ve been Googling “how to make wontons” for years or you’ve never touched a dumpling wrapper in your life, this hands-on experience is built for you. All equipment and ingredients are provided, so you can walk in empty-handed and leave with a full belly and a skill set worth bragging about.
You’ll prep a savory chicken or tofu filling with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallions, then practice a few different wonton folding techniques before steaming your creations in traditional bamboo steamers. While those beauties cook, you’ll whip up a homemade chili crisp with gochugaru, Sichuan peppercorns, sesame, and crispy shallots -- the aromatic hot oil pour is handled by the chef, so the only thing you need to worry about is sneaking a taste. Round out the meal with a smashed cucumber salad with vinegar, sesame, and aromatics.
For anyone searching for memorable things to do in New York City that go beyond the usual, this is the kind of class you’ll still be talking about at dinner parties -- right before you recreate the whole wonton dumpling recipe at home!
