OKONOMIYAKI COOKING CLASS
This is the recommended Japanese cooking beginner class you will enjoy taking. This is one of the top dishes that my guests who visited Japan loved eating while they traveled many places in Japan. Accessible ingredients and cooking tools, cooking skills are beginner. But we will learn one of the most important umami ingredient is bonito flakes, it is a smoked bonito fish and grated into flakes. And, the sauce for this dish is very unique, we will make it using accessible ingredients in your pantry. A bit of background of this dish, this style of savory pancake is originally from Osaka. Osaka is the second largest city in Japan, and the food culture is known as reasonable and delicious. I hope this dish is going to be a staple menu after taking this class!
