This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Sip on fresh orange juice, squeezed by Shuo himself from California oranges in Shuo’s modern family home in Belmont with impressive views of the Bay. Experience a hands-on dumpling making lesson in Shuo’s modern, custom-designed kitchen. Learn how to make the dough, assemble the filling (perhaps crab and pork or pork and chive), and then wrap your own dumplings before pan frying them. In addition to your dumplings, you’ll also assemble creative Peking-duck style “baos”, or taco-like rolls that feature roasted duck, herbs and hoisin sauce.
Sample Menu
• Pan-fried crab and pork dumplings
