No need to look any further for restaurant quality Dim Sum than your own kitchen! Dim Sum, loosely translated to “touch the heart”, refers to a Chinese or Cantonese meal consisting of numerous small appetizers or finger foods traditionally enjoyed in restaurants. A dim sum meal therefore is considered a shared dining, social experience that can last for hours. Dim Sum meals often include some sort of dumpling, and two of the most popular dumpling options are open faced drum dumplings called “Shu Mai” and other dumplings called “Wontons”. Join Chef Tess for one of her newest classes where she will guide you in the step-by-step process of creating these delightful restaurant quality Dim Sum dumplings with two different meat and veggie fillings, and store bought wrappers. Learn to shape, fill and cook these tender, light, fluttery bites of deliciousness in your own home for a memorable dim sum get together. Serving, freezing and reheating tips will also be shared.
As an added bonus, the instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants of her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an invite to the groups although joining is optional. Come join the fun!
