About

Explore Japanese cooking to create a tasty lunch each day. Over the course of the week, you'll learn the 15 principles and practices of washoku cooking and incorporate them into your lunches.

In Japan, the government advises school children to eat a diverse diet aiming for 30 ingredients a day. In this class, you'll discuss ways to increase the number of ingredients you eat , and you'll keep a daily ingredient log to see if you can eat 30 different ingredients a day.

On the menu:
  • Teriyaki meat skewers and fried rice: Hawaiian-style plate lunch.
  • Sushi and tsukemono (quick pickles): Sushi rolls with homemade pickled ginger and cucumbers.
  • Yakisoba: Popular street food of stir-fried ramen noodles with pork and vegetables.
