An Introduction To Japanese Cookery

About this course

This class explores several Japanese-inspired dishes, including ramen with a homemade broth and garnishes, sushi rice, maki and uramaki rolls, miso-glazed aubergine and asazuke pickles. A teaching chef demonstrates each recipe before participants recreate the dishes at their own workstations. The session also covers an umami dipping sauce and ways to combine contrasting flavours and textures. Once the cooking is complete, participants can eat the meal at the chef’s table or pack it to take home.
