Who doesn’t love the idea of reaching into the fridge, freezer, or pantry and putting together a delicious lunch (or dinner) in minutes, creating a meal worthy of an Instagram post? We know just how much planning, provisions, and prep it takes to pull off nutritious meals that come together to feed yourself and your family.
Tsukurioki (作り置き) is the Japanese concept making that dream into reality! Japanese style meal prep is different from typical meal prep: you still prep/cook some components ahead of time, but by keeping each ingredient/dish in separate containers, you can still enjoy freshly made meals during the work week.

Program Description
Join us for the November edition of the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん！ Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking, and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen to learn a few tricks and tuck away a work week’s worth of simple dishes for you to make.
We will learn how to cook and freeze rice in perfect portions, stretch a pound of ground chicken into tasty meat balls and patties, pickle cauliflower, marinate hard boiled eggs in a sweet soy sauce, crush sesame seeds for a dressing to use over a variety of veggies, and pull a few staples from the pantry to mix and match for a new dish every day. No fancy containers necessary to master the art of Japanese tsukurioki!
