Along with ramen and soba, udon is one of the most popular traditional Japanese noodle dishes. In this online cooking class, you can learn how to make udon noodles from scratch, with simple but tasty soy sauce flavored soup for the udon and crispy vegetable tempura for the topping.
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).
Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
Udon (うどん) is a type of thick wheat flour noodle. It is similar to Italian pasta, but much thicker. It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
Welcome to my unique "dancing on the dough" on-line udon experience -- the only cooking class on the internet that lets you have fun burning off the calories before you put them back on with a hearty meal.
No noodles? No problem! All you need is a bit of flour and a few other simple ingredients.
It’s a great way to get together with absent friends and relatives.
Vegetarian and vegan options are available, so please let me know when you book.
* First, we make the dough for the udon noodles from flour and water.
* Second, we knead the dough — with feet, not hands! We dance on the dough! You’ll need clean feet, a clean floor and a sturdy plastic bag. Show me your best moves as we party to J-Pop and anime hits and create the softest, smoothest dough you've ever seen.
* Third, we make a special soup for the udon, with a broth made of bonito flakes. Vegetarians can use alternative ingredients.
* Fourth, we make crispy vegetable tempura.
* Finally, we put it all together and sit down to a delicious bowl of piping hot udon!

Hi! I’m Manami. I love cooking and meeting people. My husband is British and a lot of his family members are vegetarian or vegan, so I have been making vegetarian and vegan Japanese cuisine for them for many years and they love it. I know there are only a few vegetarian and vegan options in Japan, but I would like you to enjoy Japanese food culture.

★★★★★I absolutely loved my vegetarian tempura and udon course with Manami! I had a blast dancing on the dough with her and learning how to make noodles for the first time. I wish I could share a photo of the food in this review - it was so delicious and definitely worth taking the time to learn! The entire class was memorable and I hope to take classes again with her soon. Thank you Manami!
