Gyudon and Miso Soup Cooking Class

Gyudon, or Japanese beef bowl, is a staple Japanese fast food dish, consisting of thin strips of tender sauteed beef and onions, served over rice, and usually accompanied by pickles. Super simple to make, gyudon is a hearty, filling, and comforting donburi with similar origins as sukiyaki, a type of nabe (hot pot) dish. In addition to learning how to make a seriously delicious Japanese beef bowl in this Gyudon and Miso Soup Cooking Class, you’ll learn the basics of Japanese cooking from two experienced chefs. Ichijiu-sansai (one soup, three dishes) refers to the traditional layout of a Japanese meal, which also includes rice and pickles in addition to the dishes and soup. Often, the soup is miso soup, a staple of most Japanese restaurant menus and households, made with dashi (fish, kelp, or mushroom soup stock) and miso paste. In this cooking class, you will gain the skills to make miso soup from scratch at home. The cooking instructors are twin sisters (Ayumi and Shihomi) who worked as sushi chefs in Geneva, Switzerland for three years and at Itamae in Tokyo for seven years. As female sushi chefs are very uncommon in Japan, this is an incredible accomplishment, and they have a wealth of knowledge to share about Japanese cuisine.
