Potsticker-Making Class in Minneapolis: 3-Course Meal

Two hours folding dumplings, mastering fried rice, finishing with mochi ice cream

A hands-on cooking class in Minneapolis where you prepare potstickers, fried rice and mochi ice cream under guidance from a local chef, then eat the three-course menu you made together. The class runs two hours and accommodates dietary preferences with advance notice. Guests can bring wine or beer to pair with the meal.

The experience

You'll spend two hours learning to fold, seal and steam-fry potstickers filled with pork or vegetables, then move to fried rice cooked for crisp edges and savory depth. The chef covers the techniques that matter: how to portion fillings so they cook evenly, how to combine steaming with pan-frying to get that contrast of textures, how to control heat and rice texture to avoid sogginess. You'll also learn the balance of acidity, aromatics and sweetness that makes the house dipping sauce work: soy, scallions, garlic and lime working together.

After the fried rice comes mochi ice cream with a soft, chewy rice-flour shell. You eat everything you made, and the class is BYOB-friendly, so you can bring wine or beer to pair with the menu. The chef is there the whole time, not demonstrating from a distance. You're working through each dish with hands-on instruction, building skills that translate to weeknight cooking at home.
