Fun, Seasonal Sushi and Japanese Favorites at Home

Classroom

Whet your appetite of your favorite Japanese take-out foods, at home! After taking this class, you'll be prepared to roll up any fresh ingredients inside a delicious sheet of nori with sushi rice.

We'll be making several types of these -- maki rolls -- which you can adapt with any fresh vegetables and other ingredients you desire, and some classic sides like miso soup and salad with ginger-miso dressing.

The recipes are simple, easy to produce on a busy weeknight, and reliably healthy and fresh. And why limit yourself to the standard sushi roll fillings? We'll get inventive with the amazing BLT roll and summery favorite, the Maine lobster roll roll, with wasabi mayonnaise and scallions.

Menu:

Miso Soup
Salad with Ginger Miso Dressing
Basic Maki Roll Instruction with Cucumber
BLT Roll
Creamy Lobster Roll Roll

Note: Come prepared to get your hands a little messy with sticky sushi rice but no need to bring or wear anything special.
