Top California Spring Break - page 16

You walk into a South Bay brewery expecting a drink, but end up turning potatoes into gnocchi from scratch. Chef Darren keeps things easygoing and fun, guiding you step by step so you never feel lost. You start with warm potatoes, mashing them until smooth, then mixing in flour, egg, and salt to form a soft dough. You learn how to knead it just right so it comes together without becoming heavy. Then you shape your gnocchi: rolling, cutting, and pressing each piece to get that signature texture. It’s hands-on, slightly addictive, and you’ll notice your technique improving fast. After that, you boil your gnocchi until they float, then toss them in a sauce like sage brown butter or slow-cooked tomato. You pick up simple techniques for timing, texture, and sauce pairing that make a big difference. It all happens in a relaxed brewery setting with a laid-back vibe. You’re cooking, tasting, and thinking… yeah, potatoes didn’t need to be this exciting!

You walk into a laid-back South Bay brewery expecting a drink, but end up learning to build little pockets of flavor from scratch. Chef Darren keeps things fun and simple enough that you don’t overthink a single fold. You start with the filling: ground pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onion, mixed until it already smells like you know what you’re doing. Then you move into assembly, spooning filling into gyoza wrappers and learning the pleat-and-seal technique. It’s easier than it looks, addictive, and you get better with every dumpling. Next, you pan-fry your gyoza until the bottoms turn crispy and golden, then splash in water to steam them until tender inside. While they cook, you whisk a dipping sauce of soy, rice vinegar, and chili oil that pulls everything into a sharp, addictive bite. It’s relaxed, social, and a little messy in the best way. You’re in a brewery, folding dumplings, thinking… yeah, store-bought gyoza is officially on notice.
