During her career as a food writer at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Hsiao-Ching shared many stories about learning how to make dumplings (boiled, steamed potstickers) at her mother, Ellen’s, apron strings. Ellen would roll the wrappers and Hsiao-Ching would fill and pinch the dumplings. Hsiao-Ching has taught home cooks how to make these dumplings at food festivals, on board a Holland America cruise, and most notably, for Tony Bourdain. Tony featured Hsiao-Ching on his Travel Channel show “No Reservations.” The potsticker recipe also has been featured in the PBS documentary and companion cookbook, “The Meaning of Food.”

For this class, students will learn the traditional pork and cabbage potstickers, which will spoil you for store-bought versions. And because when you make dumplings, there’s usually a little bit of dough leftover, students will learn how to make scallion pancakes from dough scraps.
You’ll get to make potstickers and scallion pancakes hands-on and you’ll enjoy eating the products of your labors, beverages included.

What You’ll Learn:
