おうちごはん！Omurice with crunchy Hakusai pickle

Japanese Home Cooking with Table for Two and the Japan America Societies of Washington DC, Boston, Greater Philadelphia, Colorado, Georgia, Houston, North Carolina, and Indiana

Join us for the September edition of the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん！Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen. On the menu this month is Omurice with Hakusai pickle!

Join us to make one of Japan’s most popular and home-style dishes, Omurice! A soft thick eggy omelet drapes over a mound of savory ketchup rice, studded with chicken and vegetables.  This famous yoshoku (western style) dish is made in every home for dinners and bento.  The class will be led by Debra Samuels, our Ouchigohan sensei. We will complete the meal with a crunchy, quick Hakusai (Napa cabbage) pickle.  Bonus demo: Kawaii Teddy Bear Omurice!
