What You’ll Do

In this guided cooking class with Chef Li, you'll learn how to make Chinese soup dumpling from scratch as well as several complementary dishes. The dumplings you will prepare are called Xiao long bao, a steamed bun typically filled with pork. First, you'll knead together your dough and then shape it into wrappers, which you'll fill with pork. Chef Li will teach you how to form perfect pleats to seal the dumpling. Then, you'll learn how to steam the dumplings and enjoy them alongside hot and sour soup and a crunchy cucumber salad. Wrap up with sweet mango sago.

Me and my dad had a great time with Chef Li! Her house was beautiful, clean, and there was plenty of space for everyone to work. The food was amazing and we can’t wait to try the recipes at home ourselves. It is very clear Chef Li loves to cook and is very knowledgeable about it as well.

This was a wonderful unique experience. Chef Li opened her home to us and we enjoyed learning from her.

- Nicholas

We enjoyed our class very much! Chef Li gave us excellent instructions, the food was portioned out appropriately for each couple, and we had lots of room at our cooking station. We sat at a communal table in her lovely home, which made it cozy and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. And, we even got a special treat since it was Valentines Day.

Class was fun and a good size for learning. Food was delicious!
