![[Online] Vegan Japanese Cooking — Layered Vegetable Cooking, Kasaneni(重ね煮)](http://airkitchen.me/picture/experience/13873/1.png)
You'll learn Japanese layered vegetable cooking technique called Kasaneni (重ね煮) in this class.
It means "layered cooking" — a Japanese technique where vegetables are layered in a specific order, steamed with a little water, drawing out their natural sweetness and vitality.
Traditional Japanese cooking often relies on animal-based dashi stock made from bonito(fish).
Kasaneni is different — the vegetables themselves create the depth of flavor. No animal-based stock needed. Just layers, heat, and the natural power of seasonal produce.
It follows Yin-Yang principles — balancing the energy of each ingredient to create harmony on your plate and in your body.
In this class, we'll make:
*Miso soup with kasaneni vegetable base — rich in flavour, 100% plant-based
*Tofu steak with kasaneni ankake sauce — a umami-packed glaze made entirely from layered vegetables
Once you understand the principle, you can recreate these dishes anywhere in the world with whatever is local and in season.
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.

I grew up in Nara, and now live in Shiga, near Kyoto, with my husband and our Golden Retriever SUN, who loves welcoming guests. For over ten years, I taught Japanese home cooking in Kyoto and cooked with thousands of international guests. Since 2015, I have been an instructor of Kasane-ni — a simple, healthy, and delicious Japanese layered cooking method. Meeting people from around the world through food brings me joy, and I hope to share that warm experience with you.
