“The Asian Dumplings Cooking Class was very enjoyable and informative. The cook from CocuSocial was a cook had taken a class with previously and he was just as fun and informative as previously. For me it was also a testament to his cooking skills to be able to go from Japanese Ramen (my first exposure) to today's (May 11, 2025) Asian Dumplings.
We began with the instructor telling us about what were going to do in the class. Then he proceeded to demostrate the making of the ponzu sauce (spicy and non-spicy). During the sauce demo he also described what is meant in cooking what a portion is related to. One portion to one cup.
After the sauce demo, we proceeded to making our dough for the dumplings. He proceeded step by step and also went around to each work station to individually check each participants dough and then commented if okay or required more flour or water. After everyone's dough was ready, he told us to bag the dough and then instructed us on how to properly hold a nice for chopping and then we chopped some veggies to be used in the mix for the dumplings filling.
After the veggies were collected to add to the ponzu sauce and let cook for a few minutes.
We then were given a demostration on how to roll and slice the dough for the dumplings casing. On how to roll the sliced portions flat, and then given a display of the various types of dumpling shapes that could be used after filling with the beef and ponzu sauce combination.
After boiling and/or frying the dumplings we sat down and enjoyed our creations.
I would definitely recommend and CocuSocial cooking class.”
“Me and my boyfriend loved it! the instructor was super nice, patient and funny. We made a lot of dumplings and were full! also sending the recipe was very nice. the only thing to imporve is that we think the music should be relatable to the cuisine, like chinese music, we thought it would connect us more to the experience.”
