Chinese Dumplings with Kian Lam Kho

Many cultures have delicious dumplings, but perhaps the most varied and elegant are the dumplings of China. Chinese dumplings are often fried into pot-stickers or occasionally boiled and served with a spicy sauce. If you’ve ever wanted to make Chinese dumplings at home, this is the class for you.

We are excited to have Kian Lam Kho in our kitchen as he demonstrates the simple techniques to making delicious, authentic northern-style Chinese dumplings. You will learn to make the dough from scratch and wrap the dumplings into a variety of shapes. This is primarily a demonstration class, but everyone will have the chance to practice filling and shaping dumplings themselves. Once the dumplings are wrapped you’ll watch how to properly cook them in a sauté pan to make pot-stickers. At the end of the class, we’ll eat together.

Making dumplings is a fun joint activity for family and friends, and ideal for casual (and truly delicious) entertaining. Kian’s class will demystify the process of Chinese dumplings and inspire you to add a new menu item to your kitchen skills.

Menu to include:

• Pork and Napa Cabbage Dumplings
• Vegan Dumplings

NOTE: This part demonstration/part hands-on workshop is limited to just ten people.
