If folding dumplings while surrounded by good food and good vibes sounds like your kind of evening, this cooking class with Chef Jimmy belongs on your Portland bucket list. Hosted at a trendy local venue, this interactive dim sum experience teaches you how to make authentic dumplings from scratch without the stress or intimidation.
You’ll start by preparing fresh hot water dough before learning how to shape delicate dumpling wrappers by hand. Then, Chef Jimmy will walk you through two flavorful fillings: a hearty pork and chicken mixture with green onions and a savory vegetarian option featuring cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and parsley. Once your dumplings are folded and ready, you’ll make a simple but addictive dipping sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil and chili crunch for the perfect finishing touch. This beginner-friendly class includes all ingredients and cooking tools, plus step-by-step guidance that makes every part of the process approachable, fun and surprisingly therapeutic.
