If you think that pre-made Asian dumpling wrappers are for potstickers only, you are missing out. Sure, they are perfect for making a traditional Chinese-style dumpling but did you know that you use them in all kinds of other cool ways?
You can deep fry them up for a quick, crispy treat, or they are also a perfect cheat for stuffed pasta, or they can be baked with either sweet or savoury spices for a quick, last minute crisp to use on a cheese tray or as a dessert. We will talk about lots of fun ways to use them and then we will get into the kitchen for the hands-on portion of the class.
Join multi-talented cook, stylist and food blogger Carole Nelson Brown of The Yum Yum Factor as she guides you through a bunch of fast, tasty & clever dumpling wrapper recipes:
Pork Dumplings in Mushroom Broth
Chinese pork, cabbage & scallion dumplings served in a light, gingery mushroom broth

Red Pepper Arugula Feta Mini Quiche

Everyone gets a chance to cook, to taste all of the dishes and you will leave with the recipes for everything we have made.
