Dumplings Masterclass

YAME.bg and Multi Kulti Collective are excited to invite you to a special master class. We will host the Chinese chef Mrs. Zhang, who will teach us how to make authentic Jiaozi dumplings. We will prepare the dumplings with 2 traditional fillings: ground meat and a vegetable-based filling. All secrets will be revealed – from making the dough, the filling mixture, ways of sealing the dumplings, preparing the dipping sauce and cooking the dumplings to perfection.

 We will also learn about the Chinese culture of making Jiaozi for various festivities and in everyday life. Where does the dish originate from? What is the symbolic meaning behind it? What are the preferences in each province?

 At the event, we will taste several sauces and traditional preserved foods and sauces provided by YAME.bg.

Our host Mrs. Zhang’s family comes from a small village just north of Beijing in China. From a very young age she has been excited about cuisine and has learned to cook by watching her mother and grandmother in the kitchen. She brings a lifetime of experience in traditional north-Chinese cooking to the table and will let us peek into this hidden and exotic world. Nowadays Mrs. Zhang is based in Sofia, and is in charge of the kitchen in a prominent Chinese restaurant. She frequently participates in Chinese cultural events organized by the Confucius Institute.
