Learning with experts
6.00pm Wednesday 14th July 2021
I’m looking forward to meeting you next Wednesday for a crash course in making gyozas.
Japan Centre are kindly providing the ingredients and I’ll be providing the tuition so all you need to do is turn up to class on time.
About gyozas
About half way on the Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Osaka is Hamamatsu, a renowned “Gyoza town”.
Virtually every culture across the world has its own version of a dumpling, from Cornish pasties to empanadas.
Gyozas originated in China, but have won a special place in the hearts and minds of Japanese and are a guaranteed crowd pleaser on any menu.
What to expect
Koj will teach you how to make a filling, how to pleat and crimp the edges, how to cook them and how to make a dipping sauce.
DO
Read the recipe through in advance and make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment.
DON’T
Stress - it’s meant to be fun! If (when) things go wrong, I’ll help you fix them!
