GF & Vegan Miso & Shio Koji Cooking Class

Join us for a unique cooking class in Sydney where you will learn how to make homemade miso and create a delicious gluten-free and vegan lunch. In this cooking class, you will have the opportunity to take home your very own homemade miso.

Miso and Shio koji are fermented products that are packed with umami and flavour. They have numerous benefits for cooking, and in this class, you'll discover how to harness their potential.

Miso has been a staple in Japanese cuisine for centuries, and it can be used in a variety of dishes beyond just miso soup or miso ramen. You'll learn how to make miso from scratch and take your creation home with you.

Shio koji, on the other hand, is a porridge-textured product that is made by fermenting a mixture of grain koji, salt, and water. It contains enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids and carbohydrates into sugar, resulting in a mouthwatering umami flavour. You'll get the chance to make quick pickles with shio koji during the class.

Led by Sumi Saikawa, a Kobe Japan native, this hands-on cooking class will follow the traditional Japanese home cooking style called 'Ichi Jyu Sansai'. This means you'll prepare one soup and three other dishes, along with rice.

During the three-hour workshop, you will make your own miso and also create a variety of gluten-free dishes for lunch.
The dises are:

• Cooked mushrooms rice
• Miso soup with seasonal vegetables
• Fried tofu with green onion miso sauce
• A seasonal salad with vegan mayonnaise with shio koji
• Quick pickles with shio koji / miso

Throughout the class, you'll not only learn how to make these delicious dishes but also gain an understanding of:
