San Francisco: Dumpling Making Class (Includes 3 Courses)｜United States

Learn the art of handmade dumplings in this hands-on cooking class in San Francisco. Guided by Chef Edmund, you’ll prepare pork dumplings entirely from scratch, including the wrappers and filling, with no pre-made skins involved. This 2.5-hour experience begins with an umami-focused tasting of the chef’s favorite soy sauces from across Asia before you prepare and enjoy a flavorful multi-course meal.

Start by making dumpling dough and a filling with organic, locally sourced ground pork made from pork butt and shoulder, premium black soybean soy sauce, sesame oil, spinach and Shaoxing wine. You’ll practice rolling the wrappers, adding the filling and pleating each dumpling by hand. Then, create your own dipping sauce with chili oil, black vinegar, sesame oil and premium black bean soy sauce.

Next, prepare baby yu choy with ginger and black bean soy sauce. To finish, make tang yuan with gluten-free rice flour and organic red beans for a traditional sweet ending. At the end of class, sit down to enjoy the dishes you helped create.

This cooking class is suitable for guests ages 15 and older when accompanied by an adult. Gluten-free dumpling wrapper substitutions are not available.
