San Diego: Fun Dumpling Making Class at a Local Brewery｜United States

Ready to make dumplings that look as good as they taste? At a lively local brewery in San Diego, you’ll start by mixing a flavorful filling of ground pork, shrimp paste and fresh chives, then learn several folding techniques to shape your own Chinese dumplings. Step-by-step instruction keeps everything approachable, whether you’re brand new to dumpling-making or already comfortable in the kitchen. As your first batch steams, you’ll mix a simple dipping sauce with soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and rice vinegar, learning how to balance salty, sweet, tangy and nutty flavors.

Then you’ll add shrimp paste to the remaining filling and use it to create shumai-style dumplings, giving you another shape and technique to take home to your own kitchen. You’ll cook and enjoy your handmade dumplings as a meal in the relaxed, social brewery setting. With fresh ingredients, professional tools and plenty of hands-on practice, you’ll leave with new folding skills and a serious reason to stop relying on takeout.
