Steam curls off a pot and the brewery lights hum as a circle of workstations gathers around a veteran chef. In this intimate San Antonio workshop you start with a mound of ground pork and finely chopped shrimp, the scallions bright like green punctuation, and learn to coax flavor and form from simple ingredients. The instructor demonstrates a fold, and suddenly the dough seems to have a mind of its own — eager to be pinched into a seal that holds a savory pocket.
