It's always dumpling season, but especially during the holidays if you're looking for a fun activity to share with family and friends! In this class, you’ll learn how to make dumplings from scratch, wrappers and all!Â
First, the dough. You’ll learn how to make Cold Water Dumpling Dough from scratch, which will allow you to make dumplings, noodles, or scallion pancakes! We'll demystify homemade dough so you can ditch the store-bought skins. We’ll also use natural vegetable dyes to add color to our wrappers.
Secondly, the fillings. You'll make a classic Taiwanese Pork & Cabbage filling, while the other fillings will be made before class, so we can focus on dumpling formation! For the bulk of the class time, we’ll focus on pleating, forming, and cooking dumplings.
Get ready to roll up your sleeves, wrap and chat, and of course, eat! Take away the confidence to plan your own dumpling making gathering this winter!

Henry Hsu
Oakland dumpling maker, Henry Hsu’s past identities have included public health advocate, architect, and designer. He immersed himself in the local Bay Area food scene working at Oakland tofu maker, Hodo Foods for over a decade and most recently spent the past year working at Dumpling Club in San Francisco.  Henry’s perspectives on food are shaped by his Taiwanese heritage, Gulf Coast upbringing, Midwestern education and years of living in Latin America. From immigration to assimilation to seeking cultural identity through his food heritage, he began seeking out what Taiwanese food means to him through cooking, teaching, sharing and storytelling. He’s learned that cultural identity in food is simply not as monolithic and neatly squared away as we’d all like it to be! He also leads food tours, teaches dumpling making, hosts Taiwanese pop-up dinners & occasionally you can find him working a farm stand at a local market!
