Dumplings have a way of bringing people together, and this hands-on dumpling making class in Washington D.C. with Chef Troy is your chance to fold, fill, and feast your way through one of Asia's most beloved culinary traditions. Whether you're hunting for unique date ideas, fun things to do in Washington D.C., or simply want to finally crack the code on how to make dumplings from scratch, this is the experience you didn't know you needed.
From the moment class begins, Chef Troy walks you through everything -- flavorful fillings, working with dough and wrappers, and mastering the kind of classic folding techniques that have been passed down through generations. You'll learn how to fold dumplings like you've been doing it your whole life, discover a dumpling recipe worth repeating at home, and round it all out with a flavorful dipping sauce. All equipment and ingredients are provided, and every skill you pick up is totally recreatable with ingredients you can find at any local market.
Here's the best part: you don't need any experience to walk in and have an amazing time. This dumpling making class is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you want to be hands-on every step of the way or prefer to observe, assist, and taste-test. By the end, you'll sit down to enjoy the dumplings you made yourself -- and leave genuinely excited to make them again.
