Step into a cozy Beijing courtyard kitchen and learn the art of Chinese dumpling-making from a local family. This hands-on experience takes you through every step — from mixing the dough and preparing traditional fillings to mastering the pleating technique that turns each wrapper into a beautiful crescent. As your dumplings steam or pan-fry to perfection, your host shares stories of how jiaozi connects generations and marks every Chinese New Year reunion dinner.
