My first donabe cooking class since coming back from Europe was at Tortoise General Store last Saturday.
The theme was Izakaya dishes with tagine-style donabe, "Fukkura-san". We made 4 different dishes (all one-pot dishes!) by using Fukkura-san.
I was having fun getting ready before everybody arrived.
After making donabe steam-roasted potatoes (served with creamy yuzu-kosho dip), I showed how to make crunchy lotus root with soy-black vinegar sauce.
I also made steam-fry curry yakisoba, and sake lover's kurobuta pork sukiyaki.
These pictures were taken from the rehearsal...crunchy lotus root, steam-fry curry yakisoba, kurobuta pork sukiyaki.
What a fun group we had. I was so glad everybody enjoyed the class and tasting these donabe dishes.
Happy donabe life.
