Cook with the Chef: Dumpling or Dim Sum Class from Scratch with Market Tour and Condiments class

About

China wouldn't be Chinese without the myriad flour-based delicacies that are irreplaceable in our daily lives. Noodles, Dumplings, Steamed-buns, and Dim Sum are the bread & butter of Chinese cooking, so one must know how to prepare the dough, or else you really don't know Chinese cooking. Depending on which dish you would like to make, our chef will guide you to make 4 different flavors of fillings, as well as making the dough and the peels. Mix, knead, roll, fold, repeat! Show us how good of hands you've got!

Dumpling is not just a dish, we make dumplings for the Chinese New Year. The whole family sits around the table, talking and making dumplings

Condiments class: Explain the soy sauce, Chinese vinegar and how to choose the right wine for cooking.

Knife Skill: The Chinese Cleaver: Unlike Western culinary practices, Chinese cooking requires only one knife: the Chinese cleaver. Mastery of this versatile blade can take you a long way. Precision-slicing, fine-cutting, heavy-chopping, and even grating/crushing, the Chinese cleaver is truly an all-in-one tool. At the Beijing Cooking School, we value your passion and loyalty to our belief in cooking for excellence. Our chefs will guide you hand-in-hand to master the cleaver with efficiency and safety as a part of all of our classes.
