Steaming baskets, sizzling pans, and savory fillings set the stage for a dumpling adventure you won’t forget! In this Vietnamese dumpling making class in Arlington, you’ll roll up your sleeves and learn how to make dumplings from scratch while having more fun than you thought possible in the kitchen. With Chef Jocelyn guiding the way, you’ll create your own dough, practice folding techniques, and master a pork dumpling recipe that’s both mouthwatering and approachable. Prefer something lighter? Chicken dumpling and tofu options are on the menu too, so everyone gets a flavor to fall in love with.
You’ll not only shape dumplings, but also cook them three different ways -- boiled, steamed, or pan-fried -- so you can recreate your favorites at home. And no dumpling is complete without a dip, which is why you’ll whip up a bold, homemade sauce that ties everything together. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips on sourcing ingredients and tools from local Asian markets, making this skill set easy to bring back into your own kitchen.
Whether you’re looking for unique things to do in Arlington, craving fresh Vietnamese dumplings, or simply curious about how to make dumplings that actually impress, this class is your chance to fold, laugh, taste, and celebrate the art of cooking together!
