Fermentation and preserving Japanese-style short course, Part 2

Tuesday 21 May 2019, 6:30pm–10:00pm 

An intensive class ideal for fermentation enthusiasts with a reasonable amount of prior experience, who would like to explore techniques traditionally used in Japan. A series of demos, tastings and hands-on lessons will introduce you to the wonderland of koji fermentation, the basis for soy sauce, miso, sake and mirin making, as well as nuka (fermented rice-bran) and other fermentation techniques that will transform a range of ingredients from vegetables and tofu to seafood and meats in astounding ways... and with great health benefits. Light dinner provided during class. Bring your own containers to take home the food you prepare during the class. This class may be attended on a stand-alone basis, or combine it with Part 1 (discounts apply if attending both Part 1 and Part 2).

Some of the recipes featured:

How to establish a NUKADOKO (fermented rice-bran pickling bed), NUKAZUKE (vegetable pickles fermented in nukadoko), nuka-fermented TOFU ‘CHEESE’, DOBUROKU (cloudy 'farmer's' sake), AMAZAKE (koji-fermented sweet rice syrup), SAKEKASU (sake-brewing 'residues') for umami-packed meat and seafood marinades, advanced SEAFOOD FERMENTATION techniques. Please note that the recipes and techniques listed here may be subject to change without notice. Most recipes introduced in this class are suitable for vegetarians.
