Come Make Dumplings With Us! 🥟

​Christine Wong, the author behind The Vibrant Hong Kong Table (which VegNews and Tasting Table called one of 2024’s best cookbooks), is hosting a special dumpling-making experience as part of the New York Asian Arts Festival.

​Roll up your sleeves and dive into the delicious world of dumplings in this immersive, hands-on class perfect for food lovers of all skill levels! Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned home cook, you’ll learn how to make dumpling wrappers from scratch (yes, it’s easier than you think!), try your hand at traditional folding techniques, and explore different cooking methods.

​✨ Fun fact: Making dumplings together is a cherished tradition across many cultures—not just for the food, but for the joy of gathering. Folding dumplings can even be meditative, and it’s a beautiful (and delicious) way to slow down and connect—with food, with others, and with yourself.

​Come hungry and leave happy—with a belly full of dumplings and the skills to recreate the magic at home. Gather your friends, co-workers, or make it a solo culinary adventure—you’re in for a flavorful, feel-good experience!

​This May, we’re thrilled to launch the first-ever New York Asian Arts Festival: a citywide celebration spotlighting underrepresented Asian American artistry and reimagining of how we engage with culture through art.

From curated exhibitions of talented Asian artists to hands-on activations in partnership with art studios across the city, NYAAF invites you to create + connect with the community.
