+Experience Details
Tofu is a staple in almost every Japanese kitchen, valued for its versatility, nutrition, and ability to take on many flavors.
In this hands-on cooking class in Setagaya, you will discover how to use tofu in traditional Japanese home cooking while preparing three different tofu-based dishes with guidance from a seasoned instructor.
Your host, Chef Morimi, is a Tokyo-based cooking instructor who has been running home cooking classes for 15 years. She is also a qualified food education advisor.
She practices ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, which brings a strong sense of balance and presentation to her cooking style. In this class, she will show you how tofu can be both simple and beautifully refined.
The lesson begins with an introduction to the day’s menu, followed by a demonstration of each dish.
Alongside the tofu recipes, you will also learn two essential parts of Japanese home cooking: rice and dashi. You will learn how to cook rice in a regular pot and how to make dashi with kombu, mushrooms, and fish flakes to build a rich umami base.
After the demonstration, you will cook each dish yourself in a hands-on session.
You will prepare tofu hamburger steak, agedashi tofu, shiraae salad, onigiri rice balls, and clear suimono soup.
Once cooking is complete, you will sit down to enjoy your meal with a cup of green tea and take home the recipes to recreate the dishes again.
