Shanghai Soup Dumpling Cooking Class

This hands-on cooking class in Shanghai invites participants of all ages, including kids, to learn how to make traditional Shanghainese xiǎolóngbāo soup dumplings from scratch. You will be guided through preparing the dumplings in two styles—steamed and fried—and discover the technique behind sealing the flavorful soup inside each bite. The chef will also teach you how to create a complementary dipping sauce, and at the end of the session, everyone enjoys the dumplings together. This 2.5-hour experience serves as a collaborative activity suitable for families or groups interested in Chinese cuisine and culinary traditions.
