Ring in the new year with the January edition of the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series, おうちごはん！ Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking. Feel free to cook along or just watch from your own kitchen. On the menu this month is the special Japanese New Year's dish, "Osechi-ryori"!
Celebrate Japanese New Year, or "Oshogatsu" with us and make some of the special foods, known as "Osechi-ryori". Beautiful and full of symbolism for luck and fortune in the coming new year, families gather for a wonderful homemade feast.
For our special Japanese New Year Ouchigohan session, we will make 3 items to enjoy: Yawata maki: rolled beef with carrots and string beans simmered in Teriyaki Sauce, refreshing Namasu salad with shredded daikon and carrots, and a delicious apple Kinton made with sweet potato and apple mash, twisted into a “pouch of gold.”
We will also play a popular New Year’s game, "Fukuwarai" - The Lucky Laugh game. We look forward to welcoming in the New Year with you and our Ouchigohan Family! Once registered you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and recipe card.
