Japanese mochi, tofu and dumplings
Wednesday 22 May 2019, 6:30pm–10:00pm
The Japanese cuisine is rich in satiating 'comfort' foods such as mochi (sticky rice cakes) and dumplings. On the other hand, it also makes extensive use of 'bland' ingredients such as tofu that can be challenging in creating interesting dishes. This intensive class focuses on both aspects of Japanese cuisine, through a series of demos and hands-on lessons. Discover how mochi and dumplings can come in savoury and sweet guises, as well as a wide range of tofu-based recipes that will leave you craving for more (yes, the humble tofu!). Sample the culinary creations during class for your dinner, or bring along food containers if you wish to take them home. This class may be attended on a stand-alone basis, or combine it with another class (discounts apply if attending multiple classes).
