Start by prepping fresh vegetables and an optional meat filling with beef and pork while practicing approachable knife skills that instantly boost your kitchen confidence. Then, Chef Lina will guide you step-by-step through filling and folding premade dumpling wrappers so you can focus on mastering the fun part without stressing over dough-making. Once assembled, your dumplings will be steamed or pan-fried until perfectly tender and golden. To finish, you’ll whip up a bright citrus soy dipping sauce that pulls everything together beautifully. Expect plenty of tasting, laughter and “wait, these are actually amazing” moments throughout the class.
