Join us for this family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん OUCHIGOHAN and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen!

​

This November, we’re warming up with a cozy Tsukune Hot Pot (Tori Dango Nabe) — a hearty Japanese one-pot dish featuring tender chicken meatballs simmered with vegetables in a light, flavorful broth. It’s the perfect comfort food for the cooler season and a wonderful way to gather around the table with family and friends. And the beauty of this dish is that you can swap in whatever vegetables you prefer...or happen to have in the fridge.

​

To complete the meal, we’ll finish with Shime no Udon, adding udon noodles at the end to soak up the rich, savory broth — a classic and satisfying way to conclude a Japanese hot pot meal.

​

This class will be taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Wa-Shokuiku, a program of TABLE FOR TWO USA. Debra is an author of two cookbooks and co-author of Japanese Cooking for Kids, TFT’s new cookbook, and the 2020 recipient of the John E. Thayer III Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cultural Exchange Between the United States and Japan.
