Spend an evening with MasterChef Canada alum Mai Nguyen exploring the art of Chinese dumplings. Start with pork and shrimp potstickers, learning to fill, fold, and pan-fry them to golden perfection using both homemade and store-bought wrappers. Then make Sheng Jian Bao, Shanghai’s famous pan-fried soup buns with crisp bottoms and juicy centres. Along the way, you’ll learn essential techniques for shaping and cooking dumplings that you can easily recreate at home. Enjoy the dumplings you make in class, with plenty to take away — please bring a container for leftovers.

Chef Mai Nguyen guides you through the fundamentals of filled pasta, starting with an egg yolk enriched fresh pasta dough — the foundation of any great filled pasta. You'll learn multiple ways to fill and fold, opening up the whole world of stuffed pasta shapes, using two fillings: a Roasted Winter Squash served with Brown Butter and Sage, and a 3-Cheese filling with a simple Tomato Butter Sauce. Whether you're a pasta beginner or already comfortable making cut pasta, you'll leave with the confidence and technique to make filled pasta a regular part of your cooking at home.

Join our dumpling pro Mai Nguyen for this in-person class and learn how to make Chinese buns. Mai will teach you how to prepare yeasted doughs for both steamed and baked buns, along with three delicious fillings: Char Siu Pork*, Curry Beef, and Coconut Cream. You’ll learn how to shape, fill, and form your buns for each cooking method, gaining hands-on experience and practical techniques you can use at home. At the end of the class, you’ll enjoy the buns you’ve made so come hungry and feel free to bring a container for any extras. *We’ll be using store-bought char siu pork for the Char Siu Buns.
