dumpling making
Dumplings are one of the most important foods eaten during the Chinese New Year because of their shape. They are similar to ancient gold ingots, symbolising wealth and prosperity. Students will start off by getting their hands into making the dumpling dough from scratch! Make sure you have lots of energy to knead the dough.
While the dough is resting, students will look at different ingredients that make up dumpling fillings before they learn the secret to cooking the best pan fried dumplings. They even get to taste some delicious dumplings using their very own chopsticks! All this, before they head back to finish their dumpling using traditional rolling pins and techniques!
To conclude this experience, students will participate in the tradition of hiding a "gold coin" in a dumpling. The student who finds the coin is said to have good fortune for the entire year!
To authenticate the experience, each student will wear an apron and chefs hat.
*Please Note: Students will experience making the dumpling skins from scratch and using pretend filling. There will be no actual cooking or consumption of the dumplings made by students during the incursion as they will be consuming premade dumplings.
