Did you know you can easily make dumplings with what's in your kitchen right now?
This is an online dumpling-making class especially designed for parents to do with their kids. You'll learn how to make crispy and delicious potstickers, with no need to hunt for specialty ingredients.
Using everyday kitchen ingredients, we'll make wrappers from scratch, then whip up a variety of kid-friendly dumpling fillings. You'll learn very easy ways to fold your dumplings that even small hands can do. We'll also show parents how to pan-frying your potstickers to perfection.
There is a wide variety of dumpling fillings you can make with the ingredients you already have, so don't be afraid to be creative! We'll also leave room at the end of the class to answer questions and discuss what kind of dumplings you can make with your assortment of kitchen ingredients.
This is a great lunchtime or dinnertime activity for parents to do alongside their kids (recommended for ages 4 and up). After the dough-making and dumpling wrapping, the cooking portion will require adult supervision.
If you'd like to follow along with the class, have on hand some all-purpose flour, a rolling pin, and anything edible you'd like to stuff into a dumpling.
