In-Person Private Dumpling Classes
Are you celebrating a special occasion, in need of a fun team-building activity, or want an engaging and educational experience for your friends, family, or co-workers? Our in-person cooking classes are a unique way to bring your community together. We offer a variety of packages for a private dumpling class. We guarantee your group will experience a hands-on and joyful class where you'll get to roll up your sleeves, connect with the people you care for, and leave with new skills to make homemade dumplings at home to be proud of- not to mention a full stomach!
Our private classes covers everything from a variety of hand-folding techniques to how to achieve a perfect pan-sear at home. After you learn how to fold some of our favorite shapes you’ll eat your creations while you sip on house-made beverages, wine, craft beer, our house-made cocktails. We’ll send you home with the dumplings you made, along with a recipe card and all the tips and tricks you need to host your very own dumpling party!

You will learn 8+ types of dumpling folds, cook the dumplings yourself, create your own sauce, and have a LOT of fun.

“ Our MegaFoodies had such a great time at Mei Mei’s Virtual Dumpling Class! Winson’s instruction and commentary was fun and engaging - we didn’t realize we would make so many cool shapes and they had unique stories to each! They made it so easy and scalable for us to do this with our employees and delivered a MEGA experience for our team. We are truly grateful for their efforts and can’t wait to do another class!”
“ Our company recently celebrated the launch of a few new products - something we would typically do in person after months of hard work. Mei Mei did not disappoint! In fact, we were able to celebrate with more employees than we may have originally been able to, as some of our remote, out-of-state colleagues could purchase their own ingredients + join the call. The team had so much fun cooking together, learning different dumpling folds, experimenting with fillings, and ultimately ending up with a delicious meal. We can’t thank the awesome group at Mei Mei enough. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique special event!”
