Chef Skills - Dim Sum & Bao
£140 per person
A half day cookery class experience
Step into the delicious world of dim sum & bao in this mix of demonstrational, teamwork and hands on cooking class celebrating the bite sized brilliance of Chinese cuisine. You will learn to knead, fold, steam and sizzle your way through a trio of irresistible dumplings and buns, the kind you would find steaming on a trolley in a bustling Hong Kong teahouse.
Here is what is on your bamboo steamer:
"Har Gow" - Delicate prawn dumplings wrapped in silky translucent skins, a true dim sum classic.
"Char Siu Bao" - Pillowy soft steamed buns filled with sweet, smoky barbecue pork.
"Vegetable Potstickers" - Crisp bottomed dumplings bursting with vibrant vegetables, pan fried to golden perfection.
Along the way, you will pick up expert folding techniques, steaming tips & dipping sauce secrets. From fluffy bao to crispy potstickers, you will leave with the skills and confidence, to recreate these Chinese delights at home.
So grab your chopsticks and join us – it’s time to dim sum like a pro!
