Japanese Cuisine is experiencing ever increasing popularity in the UK and sushi has become a favourite, it’s healthy and packed with flavour. and genuinely a fraction of the price of pre-prepared packs.

Naturally low in dairy and fat, you will learn how to make popular types of sushi such as makizushi – rice and filling wrapped in nori, uramaki – rice is on the outside such as California rolls and sashimi – raw fish. All ingredients are bought locally.

The most comon type of Gyoza in Japan is Yaki-Gyoza. This style of Gyoza is very similar to the Chinese ‘potsticker’ dumplings. The prepared dumplings are placed in a pan and fried for a short time, water is then added to the pan and a lid placed on top, to steam the dumplings. When the steaming process is complete the lid of the pan is removed and the Gyoza are left to continue to crisp.

You will have the change to taste your efforts as you go along or take home all the delicious sushi you make.
