Learn how to make steamed chicken wonton dumplings with homemade chili crisp and smashed cucumber salad in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Alvaro.
Get hands-on with the techniques behind these flavorful dumplings as you prepare a savory chicken or tofu filling with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallions. You’ll also build your knife skills while learning how to properly prep the fresh ingredients. Chef will guide you through several different wonton folding techniques before you steam your dumplings to perfection in traditional bamboo steamers.
What You’ll Make:
Each guest will prepare a flavorful chicken or tofu wonton filling with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallions, then learn a few different ways to fold wontons using premade wrappers. While the wontons steam, you’ll make homemade chili crisp with gochugaru, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn, sesame, spices, and crispy shallots. The aromatic oil is prepared with a hot-oil pour by the chef for safety, so there’s no frying required during class.
To complete the meal, you’ll also prepare a smashed cucumber salad with vinegar, sesame, and aromatics. Along the way, you’ll practice additional knife skills and learn techniques you can easily recreate at home.
