Let’s make dumplings! Join instructor Jeff Mao to learn about – and make – a variety of Chinese dumpling styles using Maine ingredients from local farms and producers. Try your hand at making three different kinds of dumpling dough with Maine Grains flour – and then use those doughs to make three kinds of dumplings: steamed, boiled and steam-fried. Mix up some pork and shrimp filling and learn a variety of folding techniques before cooking up your dumpling creations. And, of course, spend a little time making dipping sauces to accompany them! We'll provide all the ingredients, materials and equipment, plus recipe sheets and product lists to take home.

Please note: The date for this class has been changed from what is listed in the brochure. The new date for the class is Monday, May 20th.
