At 1407 1st Ave N in Fargo, North Dakota, Fiona’s Filipino brings a hands-on lumpia workshop to SquareOne Kitchens, a bright community cooking space inside the city’s creative district. In this 2.5-hour class, you’ll learn to build Filipino vegetable lumpia from filling to frying, practiced around stainless-steel workstations and under the instructor Fiona Rix’s precise guidance.
The scene is practical and social: industrial countertops, gas ranges, deep-fry stations, jars of seasonings, and plates for rolling. Key features include the vegetable filling—seasoned with soy, pepper, and oyster sauce—the thin spring-roll wrappers that crisp to golden, and a tangy dipping sauce finished during the session. The class highlights tactile skills: knife work for fine julienne, a practiced fold that keeps the roll sealed through frying, and temperature control that makes the difference between soggy and perfectly crisp shells.
What sets this experience apart is its cultural authenticity. Lumpia is a staple at Filipino gatherings; Fiona brings personal stories and techniques passed through family and community tables, so the class is as much about memory and flavor as it is about technique. The workshop also adapts easily for cooks who want to swap vegetables for proteins or tweak spices, giving you a recipe you’ll use again. SquareOne Kitchens’ communal setup encourages conversation and tasting, turning a cooking lesson into a shared meal.
Practical perks matter: everything is provided, so you arrive ready to learn; each ticket yields one dozen lumpia (six per person) to eat or take home; beverages are available to purchase; and classes keep groups small enough for personalized coaching. The location near Fargo’s downtown offers easy parking and options for nearby cafes or Baker Park for a picnic.
Participants often leave with clear recipes, plating suggestions, and confidence to replicate the dish at home; the class also emphasizes ingredient sourcing—what to look for in wrappers, which local produce works best seasonally at Fargo markets, and how to store leftovers safely. If you have dietary restrictions, Fiona offers easy swaps and explains how to adjust seasoning without losing balance. This class is hands-on, social, and immediately useful, ideal for travelers and locals alike and makes great gifts.
Safety and sustainability are built into the session: Fiona covers safe frying practices and suggests substitutions to reduce waste and honor dietary needs. The class is accessible to cooks at entry-level to intermediate skill (Skill Level: 3), and it’s a good fit for date nights, friends’ outings, or anyone curious about Filipino home cooking.
If you’re visiting Fargo and want a memorable culinary activity that teaches a practical, replicable dish while connecting you to local food culture, this lumpia workshop is a compact, flavorful way to take home a new skill and fresh memories.
