    Wow, I’d love to attend a class like that. Let me know the next time something similar pops up! :D

    If it had to be just 8, I’d add dashi powder to the list and take off the first two for UBER LAZY chefs like myself, though I’d love to make real dashi with the two one day. Does Atari-Ya sell konbu?

    I’d also add ponzu to the list – LOVE the stuff, and it’s so great for Japanese hot pot (it’s what my boyfriend and his family uses all the time instead of the soy sauce/ginger/sesame oil/garlic combo my family does!).

    And I also can’t believe how simple teriyaki is… I’ll be making more of that in the near future!

    Have a look at the workshop programme on the Books for Cooks website. Most are demonstration workshops, but there are a few hands-on classes too (which must get booked up fast). There’s a Vietnamese one, a Thai one and a sushi one that all looked interesting.

    Well, to be honest, I’ve always used dashi powder. But as it’s so easy to make dashi, I’ve now gone and bought some konbu. I bought mine from Waitrose (Clearspring brand). I usually do my Japanese shopping at Arigato on Brewer St, but I’m sure Atari-ya has konbu too.

    I like ponzu a lot as well. The list of ingredients could have been infinite, but I thought I’d go for 8, being Chinese and all that…Kimiko’s book lists 100 ingredients though!

    PS I’ll write up the teriyaki recipe for you and post it in a couple of weeks…

    Hi Helen Yuet Ling,

    Sounds like a great workshop. We love Japanese food and our children love to eat eel and their favorite is miso soup, so I’d be interested to find a good recipe for miso soup. Can’t wait to have some sushi now!

    Hi Susan

    Funny you should mention that. I have Kimiko’s recipe for leek and shiitake mushroom miso soup, which is absolutely delicious, so I’m going to share it with WFG readers. Please be patient, and I’ll post it ASAP!

    I am relieved I use three of them (miso, sesame seeds and tamari sauce). I am going to add sake – that is easy. I like the idea of shitake mushrooms and hope they are easy to use too…

    Hi realfoodlover,

    All the ingredients mentioned above are really easy to use. They’re basics to have at home, and with them, you can make most, if not all, of the recipes I was taught at this class (click on the links above).

    Have fun cooking!

    I want to attend a cookery class too,but a lot of cookery classes are for adults.Sounds interesting,I made miso soup at home,but it was a little too salty.
