Join us to make one of Japan’s most popular and homey dishes, Omurice! A soft thick eggy omelet drapes over a mound of savory ketchup rice, studded with chicken and vegetables. This famous yoshoku (western style) dish is made in every home for dinners and bento. The class will be led by Debra Samuels our Ouchigohan sensei. We will complete the meal with a crunchy quick Hakusai (Napa cabbage) pickle.
