We cordially invite you, your families, and your friends to attend a fun DIY Dumpling + Rice ball (汤圆) cooking experience. Everyone will learn a new cooking skill – making dumplings + Rice ball (汤圆)!

Come learn to make your own at the Dumpling Academy, the home of the dumpling queen, in Philly 2nd Chinatown! Easy free street parking! Wheel chair accessible!

In the dumpling making party, you will enjoy a hands-on adventure - make-your-own dumplings. You'll be guided, taught by Yin, a dumping making expert who will teach you how to fill and shape your own pot stickers and more in an authentic way.

At the event, we will learn how to prepare the dumpling filling. We use either pre-made wrappers or make wrappers ourselves. We will then learn proper ways to cook dumplings - Everyone will learn well-rounded dumpling making skills. We will eat the dumplings we make - delicious!

Dumplings are the singular best food to make for (and with) a crowd: They’re easy, fun, beginner-friendly, and cook super quickly. The more hands you we on deck, the quicker the dumplings come together and the faster we can get to eating.
