Global Cuisine Cooking Lessons: Dumpling Monster

May 25, 2021 | 5:00PM - 6:00PM

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Fowler is pleased to present a cooking lesson with Dumpling Monster, a Shanghainese-inspired restaurant marked by Los Angeles’ busy-yet-laid-back vibes. It features a straightforward menu of traditional and classic Chinese fare; locally-sourced ingredients; and an elevated, chef-driven approach. 

Join head chef and owner Perry Cheung to learn how to make his famous pork and shrimp wontons, and chicken chive dumplings (boiled and pan fried), complete with dipping sauce. Then, spend time making dumplings with your friends and family over Memorial Day weekend. Ingredient list will be sent upon RSVP. Come with supplies prepared and ready to cook!
