Class description: Dashi is the essence of Japanese cuisine that provides depth to flavours. Other umami agents such as miso are also used to create a huge variety of sauces and pastes that will transform your dishes into something special. Learn chef's techniques to make your own dashi (including vegetarian) from scratch, and stop relying on the packaged varieties that are full of additives. Discover how easy it is to prepare your own noodle and tempura dipping sauces, and a variety of classic Japanese sauces and pastes using common ingredients such as sesame, miso and chilli.
Example menu:
Katsuo, konbu and shiitake dashi
Tsuyu dipping sauces for noodles and tempura
Ponzu (citrus-soy) dressing
Miso-based pastes
