Potsticker Class at Hot Stove Society
Hsiao-Ching Chou
UPDATE, FEB. 20, 2015: The class sold out in 24 hours! We hope to schedule another session, so stay tuned.
My mother and I will be teaching a potsticker class at Hot Stove Society on May 2. You can read about the class here. Making potstickers has always been a family affair. We hope you'll join us!
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. Over the years, they’ve made thousands of dumplings and even taken the show on the road, having taught together at food festivals and even on board a Holland America cruise. The family recipes have also been featured in the PBS documentary and companion cookbook 'The Meaning of Food.'
I love this photo from Chinese New Year 2014 of me, my mother and my daughter, Meilee, making dumplings.
