South Melbourne Market

Celebrate the Year of the Dog by making your own delicious dumplings. In this fun, hands-on workshop you will make a range of dumplings in various wrappers including: ginger pork and prawn wontons, deep-fried then steamed with a ginger infused sauce and spring onions; pan-seared jade dumplings, filled with Chinese chives and turkey in translucent wrappers made from scratch; and steamed lotus leaf parcels filled with rice, shiitake, chicken and prawns. Enjoy the feast with flavourful dipping sauces and a soba noodle Asian vegetable salad tossed in a refreshing lime, ginger and sesame dressing. In the spirit of Chinese tradition, Lou will hand out hong bao (red envelopes) for an auspicious start to your year of dumpling making.
