June’s cooking class

Some kinds of hydrangea were in full bloom in my garden last month. I cut some and displayed them in the classroom.　They set off the Japanese dishes we made

Last month’s dishes are original Nagoya dishes:

I served some sweet summer orange juice which I had squeezed from the sweet summer oranges in my garden as a welcome drink.

The Menu was:

Grilled chicken wings, Stir-fried kelp and carrots、Rolled tube shaped fish paste cake、Lightly pickled yam and cucumber, Rice balls with shrimp, Shrimp miso soup, Sweet rice jelly made with sake lees and green tea

Grilled chicken wings: It is a special Nagoya dish. The sweet spicy sauce was really tasty. The chicken wings we used in this class were bigger than the usual ones. They were very filling

    

Stir-fried kelp and carrots: It is easy to season the noodle-like dried kelp. It is a good food to make simple stewed dishes with.

Rolled tube- shaped fish paste cake: It is a good dish for packed lunches. Japanese basil and sour plum make a good stuffing.

Lightly pickled yam and cucumber: The seasoning was salt-marinated rice malt and Yuzu pepper. It is good for health in this season.

Rice balls with shrimp: We used special shrimp called “Angel shrimp”. They were really sweet.

The rice balls were smaller than usual ones. We could eat a lot of them.

  

Shrimp miso soup: The broth was made from the shrimp which were used in the rice balls with shrimp. It had a really delicate taste.

Sweet rice jelly made with sake lees and green tea: Sweet rice jelly is an original Nagoya sweet. But I’ve never heard of making it with Sake lees.

Every student was very pleased to make these dishes. Most students had never made anything like them, at home. I hope they will serve them to guests from now on

Let’s introduce Nagoya dishes to many people!
