Dim Sum Dumplings Making Class

Fold and fill delicious dim sum dumplings in this fun Chinese cooking class in Portland!



2 hours Location Portland Class size 1 to 25 (public classes), 10 to 50   $60

Sink your teeth into tender, freshly made dumplings you’ve made from scratch in this hands-on dumpling-making class in Portland! You’ll learn how to make fresh dumpling dough, prepare flavorful fillings, and fold each dumpling by hand before pairing them with a savory dipping sauce.
You’ll create two delicious fillings: a classic meat mixture made with pork, chicken, and aromatic green onions, plus a vegetable filling with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and fresh parsley. Your instructor, Chef Jimmy, will teach you how to prepare and work with dumpling dough, fill and shape your dumplings, and create the folds that give each one its signature look.
No dumpling is complete without a dipping sauce, so you’ll also whip up a savory blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of chili crunch to serve alongside your creations.
Whether you’re looking for unique date ideas, team-building activities, or fun things to do in Portland with friends, this dumpling workshop is a great way to roll up your sleeves, get folding, and enjoy the delicious food with great company!
