Join us for a special session focused on one of Japan’s most comforting one-bowl meals, oyako donburi! You’ll learn to create this dish of tender chicken and sweet onions, simmered in a savory dashi-based sauce, all held together by a gently cooked egg and served over a warm bed of rice.
To complement this satisfying meal, we’ll be creating a side of tangy daikon pickle. We’ll also be making a refreshing bubbly matcha lassi, a drink that perfectly balances the earthy notes of matcha with the creamy tang of yogurt.
This class, led by our Japanese food expert Debra Samuels, will be offered virtually with unlimited seating.
Advance ticket purchase required.
The recipe card with ingredient list and Zoom link will be provided via Email a few days before the event.
