·Gyoza
Gyoza is a Japanese dumpling made by wrapping meat, cabbage, leek, etc. in a skin made of thin flour.
My family use oyster sauce for a hidden taste for dumplings!
• rolled omelet
In Japan it is called "dashimaki tamago".
"dashi" is stock and "maki" means roll.
"tamago" means egg.
Dashimaki tamago has a fluffier texture than regular tamagoyaki.
• Miso Soup
We have miso soup every morning.
Ingredients include tofu, seaweed and anything.
・rice
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
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, we can cook Japanese gyoza (Japanese dumplings) together!
Gyoza is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. It’s different from Chinese style dumplings, because they are pan-fried, instead of steamed. Start by cutting the vegetables and mixing them with the meat to make the dumpling filling.
And then wrap those ingredients with the gyoza wrappers.
Finally we fry them with a big pan!
You can learn how to wrap ingredients with the wrappers and form the gyoza properly.
Gyoza wrappers are crispy while the vegetables and meat inside the Gyoza are juicy.
We will also make a type of Japanese soul food, the rolled omelet, by using a rectangular frying pan. It’s fluffy and sweet !!
Hello, I'm Yuuka.
I live in Kyoto and cook almost every day for my family, friends, and foreign guests. Some of my recipes were taught to me by my grandmother and mother, and some are my own.
I love experiencing different cultures, so I'd like to talk to people from different countries. And I've been practicing calligraphy and tea ceremony since I was little. If you want, you can also experience tea ceremony and calligraphy.
As part of my cooking class, I can also show you around shops and cool tourist spots in Kyoto.
I look forward to meeting you.

★★★★★Today we learned how to make miso soup, rolled omelets, and handmade gyoza with Yuka! She was professional, communicated well with us, and spoke excellent English (which was great because we don’t speak much Japanese). She also made the delicious recipes simple, and something I could recreate at home. We loved this experience and recommend Yuka’s class:)
