Fun Gyoza Cooking Class With a Local Chef in Los Angeles

There’s something weirdly therapeutic about folding dumplings while pretending you’re in a tiny Tokyo food stall. In this lively cooking class with Chef Darren, hosted at a stylish local venue in Los Angeles, you’ll learn how to craft authentic Japanese pork gyozas from scratch in a relaxed, social atmosphere. Start by preparing fresh dumpling dough before mixing a flavorful filling with ground pork, garlic chives, ginger, soy and sesame. Chef Darren will teach you how to properly fold and seal each gyoza so they cook evenly with that crispy-bottom, juicy-center situation everyone loves. The class is beginner-friendly, hands-on and packed with practical techniques you can absolutely recreate at home when you want to impress friends without spending three hours in the kitchen. Expect plenty of tasting, laughter and “okay wait, I made these?” moments as you enjoy your homemade dumplings fresh off the pan.
