RAMEN & GYOZA
Ramen & Gyoza (dumplings) course
By popular request! You will cook two of the most popular Japanese dishes in this class.
Many guests think that good RAMEN broth takes a day or more to make, but we made the simplest and tastiest recipe that you can easily replicate at home! We will make the broth and the chashiu pork from scratch in this ramen making class.
GYOZA (dumplings) consist of a minced pork and vegetables filling, wrapped in thin dough, and pan-fried.

SUSHI
Sushi Roll Time!
In the old days, tekka (which means tuna roll now) were gambling dens where gangsters played traditional card games. When they got take-out sushi, the rice stuck to their fingers and the cards and made it easy to mark cards and cheat! So they suggested wrapping nori seaweed around the sushi rice so they could eat it without sticky fingers. This is one of the stories of how sushi rolls were invented.
You will learn how to make sushi roll and ship sushi from sushi rice, and miso soup from scratch. Ingredients will be chosen for you depending on the season and market condition.
