Overview

Discover the art of making dumplings from scratch in this hands-on cooking class designed for beginners. Led by Chef Chelsea, you'll learn the traditional techniques of filling, folding, and pleating delicate wonton wrappers to create savory dumplings filled with ground pork, shrimp, scallion, and a touch of ginger.

From easy half-moons to the more complex pleats of traditional gok jai, you’ll practice skills that bring these classic dumplings to life — beautiful, well-structured, and full of flavor. As you fold and crimp, you’ll discover the rich traditions and careful artistry that make dumplings such a cherished part of Asian cuisine.
