Join us to create good luck for the auspicious year of the tiger by making dumplings.  A great family-friendly activity.

Urban Harvest

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH URBAN HARVESTEvery Lunar New Year’s eve, Chinese families gather to make dumplings. Dumplings not only represent the reunions that occur, but also symbolize wealth because of their close appearance to Chinese gold ingots—oval, boat-shaped hunks of gold used as currency in Imperial China. As the midnight hour approaches, families can be found busily wrapping dumplings for a feast as the clock strikes the hour, heralding the appearance of a new year and leaving the old year behind.Chef Susan Tsai, who has made dumplings in Houston for over twenty years, will be your guide. Your Lunar New Year celebration starts by rolling out a wrapper and then learning how to fill and shape dumplings under the expert tutelage of chef Tsai. You have a choice of two options for filling: pork or vegetarian. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of family celebrations and the story of the recipes used in the class. Each kit makes about 20 dumplings that you will take home to cook and includes the dough, choice of filling, a sauce, a rolling pin, chopsticks, an apron, recipes for the filling and sauce, and tokens of good luck for Lunar New Year. At the end of the class, chef Tsai treats you to a bowl of soup and a sampling of dumplings for you to savor. Please select pork or vegetarian filling when you place your order. Join us to greet the Year of the Tiger!
