Dumplings
In the session Yvonne will teach you how to make, roll and fold juicy dumplings from scratch, including making the dumpling pastry. The dumplings will be filled with a delicious vegan filling made of tofu, shiitake mushrooms and veg. To go alongside your dumplings which you will enjoy for your lunch at the end of the class you will learn how to make some quick Chinese pickles.
This event is being programmed to coincide with the forthcoming exhibition Seeds of Exchange: Canton and London in the 1700s.
