・Vegan Ramen
・Vegan Gyoza with special dipping sauce
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.
Let’s make popular Japanese dish, Ramen & Gyoza without any animal products. Ramen broth is rich and flavorful, umami-filled but no need to simmer animal bones for several hours. While you make the broth prepare topping beautiful to the eye.
Vegan Gyoza are stuffed with a delicious mix of something secret ingredients, good combination of vegetables and seasonings. If you had never made dumplings, never mind! I can tell you how to fold Gyoza wrappers by easy way. It’s fun to make and you can learn how to cook crispy and juicy Gyoza.
The recipe is not complicated at all using easy-to-find ingredients and everyone can recreate at home. Enjoy cooking, eating and chatting at private kitchen.
I'm Yukari living in Kyoto, working as a food writer for over 10 years. Through my work, I truly realized good aspects of Japanese cuisine such as abundant fresh seasonal ingredients, beautiful presentation, well-balanced menus, and a wide variety of regional food behind its culture for more than a thousand years. Not only writing a cover story about food but also love cooking so I started offering a cooking class for foreigners an understanding of Japanese food lot more than Sushi and Ramen. I hope participants to enjoy Japanese home-style cooking you will never have in restaurants.
After lunch, you can go to sightseeing Shisendo, Manshuin, Ginkakuji, Nanzenji near my flat. I can advise you about nice spots for sightseeing or restaurants in Kyoto.

★★★★★My wife and I had the pleasure of learning about Ramen and gyoza from Yukari. Everything from the initial directions, to the ingredients, to the cooking techniques were clear and easy to follow. More than just that, her recipe for gyoza had an ingredient that you wouldn't think would go well in vegetarian gyoza but worked amazingly. Will definately.be using that when we go back home.

★★★★★We attended a vegetarian ramen and gyoza making class with Yukari in her home with another couple. She started off class by going through the different types of ramen then transitioned into the cooking portion where we made broth together followed by gyoza. I loved that the vegetables used to flavor the broth were then repurposed to become the gyoza filling, it was easy to tell a lot of thought and love went into creating her recipes. It was so fun to learn to fold the gyoza and I was very impressed with the taste and appearance of the final products. The food was all delicious and I hope we are able to recreate this meal at home in the future as a way of remembering our amazing trip and cooking class!
