Asian Cuisine Series: Pot-Stickers/Dumplings for the Holidays
Comm Ed - Culinary | Available
If you've ever had pot stickers before (or Chinese dumplings), you know how delicious they are. In Chinese, it's called Jiaozi, and it is the traditional Chinese dish for the holidays. The magic happens when all the flavorful ingredients are tucked away in a delicate wrap, then cooked to perfection. Chef Joy will teach you everything you need to know about dumpling-making, from mixing different ingredients for the filling to making your own thin wraps. You will learn not only different ways of making, but also cooking your dumplings. And who knows? Dumpling-making may become your next family holiday tradition - it is delightful fun, a group-effort project, and the end result is tantalizingly tasty. Come join us!

Joy Shan
As someone who grew up on the east coast of China, I missed Chinese food when I moved to the states for graduate school in a tiny college town. I learned and advanced my cooking skills when I had to be my own personal chef. I remember teaching a Chinese peer in my dorm how to cook dumplings to ease his homesickness after I knew he was weeping on the phone talking to his mother. I learned to recreate these authentic flavors using limited ingredients, and in doing so, I developed a passion for cooking. Most of my recipes use whole foods and are plant-based. I love sharing my recipes, experiences, and stories with people. I hope my classes will help and inspire others to explore and enjoy different food, cultures, and the world.
