The class will follow the typical Japanese home cooking style 'Ichi Jyu Sansai'.
In fact, 'Ichi' means one and 'Jyu' means soup, while 'san' is three and 'sai' refers to dishes - so ichiju-sansai literally means, 'one soup, three dishes'. Rice is always served as well.
The menus I would like to introduced to you are:
- Ginger rice
- Potato/Lotus roots patty on Nori seaweed with homemade teriyaki sauce
- Eggplant with miso glaze sauce
- English spinach and Shitake mushrooms salads
- Vegetables miso soup
- Quick pickles
They are so nutritious and delicious.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
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.
Over the course of the three-hour, hands-on class, we will work together to create each component of our ichiju-sansai. All components will be gluten-free and taught in a way so that you can easily replicate the recipes back at home. You are welcome to state any preferences and your teacher will try to accommodate.
On top of your new knowledge of Japanese culture, you will learn:
-How to make Japanese vegan stock
-How to use traditional Japanese seasonings and alternative seasonings
-Introduction of Shojin Ryori (Japanese temple cooking)
This class is suitable for people who are gluten intolerant, follow a vegan lifestyle or just have an interest in this cooking.
Sumi
My name is Sumi Saikawa.
I was bone and grown at Zen Temple in Kobe, Japan where learned the technique of “Zen Vegetable Cuisine” I have been fascinated the food since my childhood and study nutrition and dietic in the University to become a dietitian. At the moment, I mainly live in Sydney Australia and run the GF and Vegan Japanese cooking class in Australia.
I often heard that it is very difficult to find the place where you can trust and eat Gluten free or/and Vegan meals to travel in Japan from my students as not many Japanese restaurant has option for these. I would like to introduce so many variety of Vegan dishes using Shojin ryori technic.
