Workshop Overview
In this class, you will learn how to cook with miso, an ancient Japanese superfood which is made from protein-rich soybeans. Miso is an essential base of Japanese cooking which has the saltiness, sweetness, and umami all in one. The class setting will be a small group of up to six people for a more interactive, hands-on experience for all participants.
The dishes we are cooking together will be Miso-glazed Tofu Bowl and Aunti Mieko’s GMMD (Goma Miso Mayo Dip). The recipe was created with ingredients that you can find in the majority of local grocery stores that carry asian ingredients. It was also designed in a way that you can recreate the dishes at home using the techniques you learn in the class. We will be cooking with hand-picked fresh organic produce and non-GMO ingredients.
In the beginning of the class, we will go over basic types of miso, its flavor profiles and characteristics, health benefits of miso and fermented food. Then we will cook the dishes together using other Japanese cooking essentials like soy sauce, mirin (cooking wine) and tofu. At the end of the class we will sit down at a table and enjoy the food we made. If the participants are interested, the instructor will show off a few food photography hacks using your smartphone for beautiful instagram photos!
