・Miso soup: One of the most typical soups in traditional Japanese meal. I eat it every morning at home with children. The ingredients and soup stock are changes depending on the day. As my family, I can make vegan-friendly miso soup.
・Gyoza: Japanese gyoza are mainly made by wrapping minced meat, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and chives in a skin made of wheat flour. I like pan-fried gyoza, but you can also make boiled gyoza and gyoza soup if you wish.

I will teach you the tricks to shaping them nicely and how to cut them so that children will enjoy them! ・Onigiri: Japanese rice ball with some authentic Japanese ingredients.
If you have any other requests, I will take it to my best response.
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.
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).

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.
We will start by first preparing the gyoza wrappers from dough.
Then, cut the vegetables and meat and 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 !!
