About the Event:

Join us at the Japan Society of Boston for the June edition of our family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class, おうちごはん Ouchigohan. Cook along with us or just watch from your own kitchen. 

Let's try another trending food hack from Japan! Popular among busy Japanese homecooks is this healthy and practical method of cooking a whole meal in one large pan or skillet. A main dish, sides, and even dessert are wrapped in parchment paper, set in simmering water, covered and steamed. Kansei 完成! Dinner is cooked in just 15 minutes!

This session, learn how to make a delicious meal with minimal clean-up and maximum flavor and nutrition! Different from Western sheet pan meals, the Japanese way is faster, healthier, and allows for more variation and moisture retention. We will show you a typical example using this method and then experiment at home for endless variations! 

Menu:

Salmon in Ginger Miso Sauce with Cabbage and Mushrooms

Okra or Asparagus with Wasabi Soy Sauce

Baby Potatoes with Carrots with Butter and Soy Sauce

Japanese Sweet Potato and Apples Dessert

*If you don’t have a large enough frying pan, you can use two.

The class will be taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Wa-Shokuiku, a program by Table for Two. The recipe card with ingredient list and Zoom link will be provided a few days before the event. Only one registration needed per household.
