・Small dessert
・Japanese tea or water
Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
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.
We will cook home-style creamy ramen broth and ramen garnishes like grilled pork, seasoned egg, and other toppings, and Gyoza from scratch. All recipes were created by me to recreate easily at home. You will learn how to cook ramen broth made from chicken within 30 mins without instant soup stock. Firstly, I will explain all ingredients to make the dishes. Then, I will demonstrate how to make all the dishes and we will cook together. Finally, we will eat them and enjoy chatting after finishing cooking.
WHAT TO EXPECT
・Understand basic Japanese ingredients
・Learn how to prepare all the ingredients to make ramen soup and the toppings
・Learn how to make gyoza skin and gyoza filling
・Learn how to wrap gyoza and grill
My lessons are not only about watching demonstrations but also putting them into practice as I want to give you enough information to help you cook them again when you return home. Moreover, I can suggest which ingredients are better to use instead of Japanese ones since I struggled to get them while living abroad. After finishing the cooking class, you will get a recipe PFD file or paper.
【Note】
* Please kindly let me know if you have any special dietary requirements. Vegan and vegetarian options are available.
* I will use pre-made ramen noodles.
* Children ages 4 and up are welcome to our classes. However, they must be given strict parental supervision since there will be something dangerous such as hot stoves and sharp knives in the kitchen.
Hi, I am Saeko. I've run my own cooking studio and taught over 500 foreign guests in English since 2018, as well as working as a professional food stylist and recipe creator.
I was born and raised in Osaka, and live with my husband, a year-old kid, and a small bird java sparrow. I used to work as a Japanese chef in Denmark and traveled to 21 countries. Living abroad, I got to experience cooking and teaching my foreign friends how to cook Japanese foods and we could know each other through the experiences. It was an unforgettable memory. And, I am really passionate about exploring or discovering food and learning the ways of cooking. I would like to share my cooking knowledge and skills and talk with everyone from all over the world!

★★★★★Dear Saeko San, I am delighted to have attended your cooking class on 21 April 2025 at your cosy home. Your guidance in the English language was great! The value to me was not on the imparted skills on cooking ramen and the gyoza. I was also thrilled to be learning in a Japanese home environment, just like any Japanese housewife would have prepared the ingredients and cooked the dishes. Arigato gozaimasu! The cooking instructions in PDF format were detailed and easy to follow. It would be great if I had the printed version on site so that I may jot down your insightful comments as you cooked the dishes. I thank you for the wonderful experience. I look forward to attend your cooking lessons and others in a home setting offered by airKitchen. Best regards, Siaw-Wee, LAi (Ms) Singapore

★★★★★The cooking class was great! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot of new things that I can’t wait to try on my own. Saeko is very welcoming, encouraging and kind. She took photos of us cooking and later shared a pdf file with instructions, so we could focus on the food instead of taking notes. I’m grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in cooking Japanese food.

★★★★★Our time with Saeko was wonderful. We couldn't ask for a kinder host, or a better experience. Saeko picked us up from the train and welcomed us into her beautiful home. My partner and I are vegetarians, and we made ramen and gyoza, following saeko's creative recipes and clear instructions. We loved sharing space with Saeko, and can't wait to make this food back home. We recommend this experience.

My partner and I are vegetarians, and we made vegetarian ramen and vegetarian gyoza, following her clear and creative recipes and instructions. We had a great time sharing space with Saeko, and we can't wait to make these foods back at home. We highly recommend this experience.

Saeko is a really wonderful person who is very empathetic and good at explaining things in a super personal way.
