$189.00 Per Station (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)

In this hands-on dim sum class, you'll learn how to make three beloved dishes commonly found on dim sum carts and restaurant tables — all designed to be approachable and achievable at home.

We'll start with Shanghai Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) — the star of the class. You'll make the dough from scratch, roll your own wrappers, fold the classic pleated seal, and steam them to order. We'll cover filling technique, wrapper thickness, and the pleating method that keeps all that beautiful soup locked inside.

Next we'll make Scallion Pancakes, where you'll learn the roll-and-coil lamination technique that creates those irresistible flaky layers — finished in a hot pan until golden and crispy. To balance the richness, we'll finish with a Smashed Cucumber Salad dressed in sesame, chili, garlic, and rice vinegar — quick, bright, and the perfect palate cleanser alongside the dumplings.

Along the way we'll cover hot water dough technique, steaming, layering for texture, and flavor balancing with sauces. You'll leave with a complete dim sum spread — and plenty to enjoy at the table.

This a perfect Dynamic Duo class to take with your friends, family members or a sweet Date Night and you can BYOB! (Please drink responsibly.)

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two people sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself! On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
