About the Event:

Join Japan-America Society of Houston (JASH) for the March edition of the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん! OUCHIGOHAN and cook along from your own kitchen!

On the menu this month is KOROKKE! Yes, picnic season is soon upon us, making it the perfect time to learn how to make one of our favorite bento box staples—korokke (コロッケ)! These crispy, golden potato spheres have a crunchy panko exterior that gives way to a soft, savory filling.

Korokke first arrived in Japan in the late 1800s, inspired by French croquettes. But with dairy being scarce at the time, potatoes took center stage as the filling. Over time, potato korokke became a beloved Yoshoku dish (Western-influenced Japanese cuisine) and remains a popular homemade comfort food and street food favorite today.

For this special Ouchigohan! program, we’re putting a fresh twist on the classic by adding edamame, in celebration of Table for Two’s #EdamameChamp Campaign—shining a spotlight on soybeans, the tasty and nutritious plant-based hero.

To make the event even more exciting, we’ll be joined by KID CHEF Mina, star of the popular YouTube channel Mina Makes, who will guide us step-by-step through creating the perfect korokke.

This family-friendly cook-along is the perfect way to kick off spring, come cook with us!
