Dumpling Workshop – Dumplings, Potstickers, Wontons & Bao

Join world traveler Che from Che Gourmet for a hands-on dumpling-making workshop that will transport you to the bustling street markets of Southeast Asia. With Che as your guide, you’ll delve into the rich culinary traditions of the region, where dumplings are more than just food—they are a symbol of community, celebration, and comfort.

At the Cooking Studio at Lifestyle Garden Centre, Che will teach you the art of crafting delicate dumplings with precision and care, ensuring each one is perfectly shaped and filled with a delicious blend of ingredients. You’ll explore the nuances of different doughs and fillings, learning to balance flavors and textures to create dumplings that are truly irresistible.

In this workshop, you’ll also master the technique of making crispy potstickers, with their golden-brown bottoms and tender tops, filled with savory mixtures that burst with flavor in every bite. Che will show you how to fold wontons into beautiful shapes, ready to be boiled or fried to perfection, and guide you through the process of creating fluffy, pillowy bao buns—steamed to soft perfection and filled with mouthwatering meats and vegetables.

This class isn’t just about following recipes; it’s about understanding the cultural significance and the joy of making dumplings from scratch. Che will share stories and tips from her travels, offering insights into how these beloved street foods are enjoyed across Southeast Asia. You’ll also learn how to pair your dumplings with a variety of dipping sauces, each enhancing the flavours and providing a unique twist on traditional favourites.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills to recreate these dumpling dishes at home, impressing your family and friends with your newfound expertise.
