Oyakodon (Japanese Rice Bowl) & Sesame Spinach Salad
Saturday, March 20th
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Pacific Time
Join Yoko from Osaka and learn to make this classic Japanese comfort food - oyakodon - a tasty Japanese rice bowl, or “donburi,” in which chicken, egg, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a kind of soup that is made with soy sauce and stock, and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. Paired on the side will also be goma ae, a delightful sesame spinach salad.
