Overview

Host Introduction Hi, I'm Cici, your host and a professional pastry chef! I've been teaching Chinese cuisine to expatriates and foreign tourists in China for over 10 years. I really enjoy promoting traditional Chinese culinary culture through these classes, while also interacting and getting to know people from all over the world. I get to do what I love and unlock cultures and traditions from various countries. Making friends with people from all over the world also motivates me to learn more traditional regional cuisines. Experience Introduction This is an experience to make Shanghai's traditional delicacy, Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). This experience will not only teach you how to make Xiaolongbao but also allow you to make friends with strangers from all over the world, and learn about Chinese dining and table culture. In just 2 hours, you'll unlock the mysterious skill of making Xiaolongbao, and take the technique home to personally make authentic Xiaolongbao for your family and friends. Venue Introduction The venue is located on the bustling Huaihai Middle Road. Passing through an alleyway, my space is hidden at the end of the lane. It's a place where the great hermits live in the city, yet inside it's a very open co-working space. Here, you can experience both the old Shanghai alleyway culture and see the international and modern side of Shanghai. Experience Process We will start with self-introductions, then begin kneading the dough, mixing the filling, rolling the wrappers, and I'll hand-teach you how to pinch a thin-skinned, generously filled Xiaolongbao. After steaming, we'll enjoy the fruits of our labor together. Finally, we'll take photos as a souvenir. I usually prepare two kinds of fillings: one with pork and one vegetarian. This is a vegetarian-friendly and gluten-allergy-friendly experience.
