Tonjiru (Pork Miso Soup with Tomato and eggplant)
Tonjiru is a hearty miso soup made with pork and seasonal vegetables such as daikon radish, carrots, and burdock root.
We will make it by using summer vegetable such as eggplant and tomato.
It is a comforting dish that many Japanese families enjoy, especially in the colder seasons.
You'll learn how to make authentic dashi and miso soup from scratch.
Takikomi Gohan (Seasoned Rice)
Takikomi Gohan is rice cooked together with vegetables, mushrooms, and traditional Japanese seasonings.
The ingredients change with the seasons, making every meal unique.
It is one of my favorite comfort foods and a dish often served at family gatherings.
Japanese fried chicken, karaage is made by marinating bite-size pieces of chicken in sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic before coating them generously with potato starch. When fried, the starch turns into an ultra crispy shell encasing a flavorful juicy bite of chicken. Absolutely great with beer.
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.
Welcome to my Japanese home cooking class!
In this experience, we will cook a traditional Japanese family meal together. Rather than making sushi or ramen, I would love to introduce the kind of dishes that Japanese people enjoy at home every day.
First, we will prepare Takikomi Gohan (seasoned rice) using seasonal ingredients and traditional Japanese seasonings. While the rice is cooking, we will make Tonjiru (pork miso soup) from scratch using dashi, miso, pork, and fresh vegetables.
Next, we will marinate the chicken with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic before coating it and frying it into crispy, juicy Japanese Karaage.
When everything is ready, we'll enjoy the meal together just like a Japanese family.
