Japanese Workshop Menu (please note that this menu will vary on any given day)

Brown NoriRoll : We'll make various kinds of sushi rolls with brown rice and tofu fillings. Fillings are teriyaki tofu, vegies, seaweed salad and Japanese pickles such as ginger, plum (umeboshi) and radish (takuan). And tuna with tofu mayonnaise. We'll make the mayonnaise from tofu and olive oil.

Home made tofu: Let's eat tofu freshly made from soybeans. It's called hiyayakko and it's cold tofu served with several toppings and soy sauce. It's the simplest and the most popular tofu dish in Japan!

Edamame and prawn tempura with green tea salt: This is a typical Japanese dish. Sure, it's a deep-fried dish, but a little bit of fat won't kill us, right?

Spinach tossed with tofu and sesame dressing: Preparing traditional food is sometimes so time consuming but I made this traditional dish in a much easier way and I think its taste better than the traditional version.

Green tea soy custard: This recipe uses soymilk but you can't taste the soymilk at all. Enjoy it with Japanese traditional black syrup

Soy bean powder and red bean okara cake: Okara is the ivory pulp that is a by product of tofu.There's no butter or oil in this recipe but you'll be amazed how soft, moist and tasty it is. This cake is gluten free.Okara is the ivory pulp that is a by product of tofu.
