Join us in this family-friendly Japanese cooking class hosted by the Japan-America Societies of Washington DC, Boston, Georgia, Houston, and Greater Philadelphia. This October we will be making an iconic Japanese home-cooked dish, nikujaga! This Japanese nikomi, stew, combines sweet and savory flavors with a classic method of cooking down the liquid until it permeates the ingredients. A comfort dish of home and kyushoku (school lunch) is easy to make and will become a favorite in your house. Pair it with refreshing cabbage and clementine salad. Vegetarians can use yaki dofu (grilled tofu comes in a package) or tofu cutlet instead of meat.
