I will prepare with the seasonal vegetables. So, the bento box won't be the same and it will depend on the season.
I will ask you about your preferences and wishes.
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
In this cooking class, I introduce you Japanese Vegan dishes.
Mainly, we use Tofu for protain and lots of seasonable vegetables.
In Japan, we often use dashi, stock with sea weeds and bonito flakes. But I use only sea weeds for vegans.
First, I show you all the ingredients.
Then let’s start cooking.
-cut all the vegetables in properly.
-make dengaku sauce with miso
-miso soup.
Roll the vegetables with tofu sheet and sautéed.
-cook tempura.
-let’s make your own bento box.
-finally, your lunch time, with Japanese sweets.
Hello!
I love traveling, and have visited many countries, And I always enjoy the foods.
When I traveled, I always wonder what the local people eat every day. So, I want the foreign travelers to share what I always cook at home.
If you are vegetarian and find the difficulty to eat the Japanese dishes, please come to my kitchen.
Mainly, I share you the vegetarian dishes here, but I can share the ordinary dishes with eggs and meats, if you want. So, please feel free to ask me.
And I also started making soba and found that it is very interesting.
Soba is one of the most popular Japanese foods, and it has a long history.
In Japan, we can eat soba anywhere.
Let's enjoy making soba and other Japanese dishes.
Soba cooking is also for vegetarians and vegans.
And we are located just behind the philosopher’s path. On your way to sightseeing, we suggest you join us. Our house is the old parents' house and it's nostalgic and relaxing. So
