Full description

This small-group class in San Francisco, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 people, ensures a personalized and intimate learning environment. Nothing here is pre-made or contains preservatives—every guest will mix, knead, and roll out their own dough to create authentic dumpling wrappers from scratch.

The evening kicks off with an intriguing overview of Shanghainese cuisine, including a blind tasting of Chef Eddie’s favorite soy sauces. Next, delve into the art of making a perfectly braised soy sauce pork belly, exploring slow cooking and flavor balancing techniques. Then, the highlight of the night: crafting your own dumplings from scratch. Each guest will prepare their unique dipping sauce to complement their creations, culminating in a feast that ends with a delightful red bean dessert. Leave not only with a satisfied palate but also with a comprehensive recipe guide, empowering you to host your very own dumpling party at home. This is the perfect contrast to larger, impersonal classes with pre-made elements—here, every detail is crafted by you!

Eddie was awesome from start to finish! He provided detailed instructions prior to the event, ensuring we knew where to go and what to expect. The food was delicious and his upbeat energy was unmatched. He clearly put a lot of time and thought into this experience and it showed in the many ways he got us involved and engaged throughout the dinner party. Super impressed by this experience and already recommended it to some of my friends!
