When making sushi, we pay close attention not only to its appearance, but also to the texture and, finally, the taste. For me, preparing sushi is one of the most difficult Japanese dishes 😅😅😅 #neverstoplearning #sushi #passionandobsession

I lost my voice since Sunday night, so canceling all my appointments and classes until tomorrow 😓 So 😖😖😖 I want to thank each of you for choosing my cooking class while you’re in Tokyo these past weeks! Happy to have you all and getting know each of you. Wish you all had wonderful times and memories in your Japan trip! Please come visit us in Shibuya again, sincerely ARIGATO! ARIGATOU, 有難う in Kanji, literally means: “To exist” has the meaning of “difficult” and refers to something that is rare or valuable. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

After testing many gyoza filling recipes, 100% han

After testing many gyoza filling recipes, 100% hands-down vegetarian gyoza is tastier than any other. And vegetarian gyoza never leaves a single piece in my class! Here is the recipe (30 gyozas):
- Nappa cabbage (in winter) or cabbage in other season 200g
- Shiso leaves or cilantro or garlic chives or or spring onions 🌿
- two kinds of Asian mushrooms, like shiitake, wood ear, maitake, or enoki (200 g) - dried ones are okay too dehydrated and sauté add the soaking water pls
These below from here can be food processed 👇
- Lotus root, 50g
- Carrot 50g
- 2 tablespoons each of minced garlic and ginger
- Sesame oil, 2 tbsp Seasoning:
- Sake 2 tbsp
- Soy sauce 1 tbsp
-1 tbsp miso (darker brown color and chunky type with Koji in it)
- White pepper Chopped all the vegetables into small small dice. Except nappa or cabbage and shiso (or garlic chives or cilantro), sauté all other vegetables in a frying pan with toasted sesame oil. Sauté garlic and ginger first, then add the hardest vegetables first: carrots, lotus, and mushrooms. When they are fragrant, add sake and satee mins until the alcohol is cooked. Then soy sauce and freshly ground pepper.
Combine the cooked vegetables with chopped Nappa cabbage and shiso in a bowl. Mix well, then add miso. Then, start forming gyozas. Once the gyozas are shaped, collect them on a flour-coated tray. Once all shaped, transfer them to a non-stick frying pan as shown in picture 2, with oil underneath. Start cooking with high heat; once all of them are beautifully brown, add 1/2 cup of hot water. Then lower the heat. Cover it and steam until the water is completely absorbed. Open the lid, increase the heat when you start hearing crackling sounds, and add 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Shake the pan a bit to make sure the gyozas are ready to be flipped. If they are sticking, put a spatula between the pan and the gyoza and separate the gyoza from the pan.
Bring a plate smaller than the frying pan, place it directly over the gyoza, and flip the bottom side up! Dipping sauce: 2:1 rice vinegar and soy sauce with crunchy chili oil 🌶️ I might teach only vegetarian gyoza in all my 🍜 + 🥟 classes Enjoy 😋😋😋

I just got home from my summer trip. From the end

I just got home from my summer trip. From the end of July, a small island in Okinawa, then my parents' home in Tohoku, and finally the Niseko area in Hokkaido. Contacting with nature, animals, and locals was beautiful and unforgettable 🥹🥹🥹 Thank you very much to all of you who met and took care of us 💚💚💚 xx #taketomi #iwate #aomori #niseko #hokkaido #yoichi #summer2023 #lifeisgood #tokyocookingstudio #mtyotei

“Kintsugi is similar to the Japanese philosophy

“Kintsugi is similar to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. Japanese aesthetics values marks of wear from the use of an object. This can be seen as a rationale for keeping an object around even after it has broken; it can also be understood as a justification of kintsugi itself, highlighting cracks and repairs as events in the life of an object, rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage. The philosophy of kintsugi can also be seen as a variant of the adage, "Waste not, want not". Thank you for your amazing work 🙏🏻 @kintsugiplus #kintsugi #wabisabi

Honestly, since the beginning of my cooking school

Honestly, since the beginning of my cooking school business until the pandemic, I couldn’t really think of traveling or even vacationing. I have spent time and money starting up my lifework seven years ago, and my mind was totally occupied. And, I must also need to say I’m a bit typical “workaholic Japanese.” But the pandemic has awakened me… The most important life lesson my guests (especially European and Australian guests 🥳) have taught me over the years is about having a good life-work balance. Happy people know how to enjoy life and they always have a good balance of life-work. Life is not about how much money we have, life is all about experiences and relationships. I’m currently stuck in a hotel on #ishigaki island 🏝️ because of typhoons 🌀, all my ocean activities are cancelled 😂, no swimming with turtles 🐢 , no canoeing in a jungle, but thankful for having time with my family and reading books that I haven’t read. When I was planning my August 🇯🇵 trip, my priority was to go to a place that has no seven eleven and zero Starbucks 😅 Taketomi island’s population is 300 people only, no hospitals and no drugstores. There is only one traffic light 🚥 Only three hours a bike ride on the entire island. Amazing beaches, forests, and big clouds + skies that I can’t see in my Shibuya life. The island people I have met are so real and sweet. They shared me so much about life here. These are all needed. Will be back 100% when no typhoons 🔥🤘🏻😎 🌊 🌺 #summer #lifeworkbalance #happiness #japan #japansummer #tokyocookingstudio

This day was a bit different! No cooking this day

This day was a bit different! No cooking this day. French chef across the street cooked lunch for us. I had Japanese local guests came to my studio. They are all interested in creating a new business. I had a talk session to share my business stories and experiences from the beginning of my studio throughout pandemic. My cooking school started from one customer from Chicago in 2016. I never forget about her. No business start from big. We all start from small then continue and grow. I really hope I could inspire and encourage them and help a bit to move forward, especially Japanese women 💪🏻 Thank you for coming! この日はちょっといつもと違います。この日は料理はなしで、向かいにあるフレンチシェフがランチを作ってくれました。私のスタジオに日本人のゲストが来てくれました。彼らは皆、自分のビジネスを始めることや、何か新しいビジネスをクリエイトすることに興味があります。私はトークセッションを開催し、創業初期からコロナ禍の体験を共有しました。私の料理学校は、2016 年にシカゴから来た 1 人の顧客から全ては始まりました。このお客様のことは一生忘れることはないでしょう。どんなビジネスも大きく始めることはできません。私たちは皆、小さなことから始めて、成長し続けます。私が彼らに特に女性に💪🏻インスピレーションを与え、前進するために少しでも手助けできれば幸いです。ご参加大変有難うございます🔥

Loving so much having cooking class at Tsukiji fis

Loving so much having cooking class at Tsukiji fish market kitchen these couple of months. Cooking itself is not just chopping and sautéing. It all starts with the ingredients. Good food is really about good ingredients. Getting the freshest fish and veggies at the market, 100% plastic containers free. Picking up super fresh tuna from downstairs and within 30 minutes we’ll start slicing, tasting sea urchin, and grating crisp fresh wasabi are THE Japanese culinary experiences. I have decided to only offer fish related classes at this location. We'll limit a maximum to 30 guests for the group cooking class to have "hands-on" real cooking experience to maintain the quantity of workshop and food as well. When I was a culinary school student, I remember my instructor has said “Delicious food is delicious no matter who eats it." It sounds obvious, but after meeting many many people, many of us eat with our mind not our pure palate. Fantastic Japanese food is super simple, just like fresh raw fish with only soy sauce, and Tempura with good salt. And I love it. Will start adding Tsukiji fish market cooking class schedule starting September, book one if you’ll be in Tokyo later this year! Thank you my sweet and wonderful guests today! Impressed and inspired by y’all so much🤘🏻 #japanesefood #japanesecooking #japanesecookingclass #japan #japantravel #japantrip #tokyo #tsukiji #tsukijifishmarket #tokyocookingstudio
