Lunar New Year Dumpling Making Party with Lisa Nho

Welcome the Lunar New Year with a hands-on dumpling-making celebration. In this festive, communal cooking class, you’ll learn how to craft both Chinese and Korean–style dumplings, from preparing fillings to folding and pleating traditional shapes. Guided step by step, you’ll discover the cultural significance behind each style while practicing techniques you can recreate at home.

As we cook together, we’ll honor the Year of the Horse, a symbol of energy, strength, and fresh beginnings, through shared food, connection, and tradition. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a curious beginner, this class is designed to be social, approachable, and joy-filled. Come ready to learn new skills and ring in the New Year with delicious dumplings and great company.

All ingredients provided. No prior experience needed.

Lisa Nho is a fiber artist based out of Rockville, Maryland. She first started learning the art of macrame and weaving to get out of the tired rut of her desk job. It became a wonderful way to unwind and let out her creative energies that were stunted from working in front of a laptop all day. She is now expanding into the world of cuisine by teaching this Korean gimbap class to showcase her skills in the kitchen.

If you want to get away momentarily from your day-to-day and want to find a safe soothing space, let's get together, share stories, craft and create just to enjoy ourselves!
