About this Class
Savory, salty, and sweet all at once, miso is perhaps the very definition of umami and a quintessential part of Japanese cooking for more than a 1,000 years. In this class we’ll learn the differences among misos, and have a tasting: white, saikyo, red, awase, hatcho, and mugi. Miso is a powerhouse of prebiotics and probiotics, and we’ll learn how to cook with it to make the most of its nutrition.
We’ll begin with a tasting of different misos. Then create a full a complete Washoku tasting menu starring miso, from soup to dessert.
In class we’ll make:
• 5 Color Miso Soup—classic and comforting.
• A brilliant goes-on-everything Miso Sauce, which can be used for dipping, stir frying, simmering, marinating, even as a base for salad dressing.
•A classic Misoyaki Onigiri (grilled rice ball).
• Delicious 5-Spice Misoyaki Chicken.
For dessert, we’ll sample delicate Sesame Miso Butter Cookies to experience miso’s full versatility.
Take home your All Purpose Miso Sauce, as well as printed recipes. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of Washoku, the ancient Japanese food traditions that make meal preparation fun as well as transformative for your health.
