Had you asked me before I took chef Jannie Huang's class if I ever thought I'd be able to make a dumpling, the answer would have been a firm no. Yet, in just over 90 minutes, I learned to make both boiled and fried dumplings.

But Huang, who learned how to make dumplings from her parents as a tween, was a great teacher. She kept up a steady stream of lively commentary and assured all 70 or so of us that we'd be great. There were two cameras set up so we could see multiple angles of Huang's kitchen as she prepped and cooked. When steps were a little tricky, like folding the dumplings, Huang made sure to repeat them plenty of times.
