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.
親子丼は、鶏肉と甘い玉ねぎを出汁のきいた甘辛いタレで煮込み、卵でふんわりととじた、日本を代表する家庭料理です。この特別クラスでは、心温まる一品「親子丼」の作り方を学びます。
さらに、この親子丼と相性抜群の爽やかな「大根の漬物」と「バブリー抹茶ラッシー」を作ります。このラッシーは抹茶のほろ苦さとヨーグルトのクリーミーな酸味が絶妙に調和した、新しいドリンクです。
