Black Sesame Kichen

Tonight the group headed to Black Sesame Kitchen for a Chinese cooking class!
After 30min of walk through the hutong, the last meters really getting into the houses and having no clue where we were, we arrived in the kitchen. Place looked lovely, it had a big table with stools around next to a cooking area where 2 chefs where standing.
We took place around the table and the lesson started. We learned how to make dumplings and truth being told it's not that hard. Just time consuming. We had a lot of fun making our own dumplings.
Once the dumplings were done the chefs took over the cooking and prepared us some more Chinese courses while we were watching. Everything looked fantastic and very oily (I never realized how much oil they use to fry vegetables).
Pity I'm recovering from food poisoning (or a virus) so I could not eat :( but I've got the recipes and will try them for sure.
