Authentic Japanese Cooking Set

$48.89 Description This Japanese cooking kit includes some key ingredients so that you can get started straight away. The kit includes a pack of dashi powder – the traditional Japanese stock, taking its flavour from seaweed and dried bonito flakes. It’s used in everything from broths to marinades to dressings, and is an important Japanese store cupboard ingredient. Other key flavours in this Japanese starter kit are miso and mirin (sweet rice wine), and sesame oil which help create distinctive Japanese tastes that can’t be replicated with substitute ingredients.  Hijiki seaweed and shiitake mushrooms can quickly and easily be rehydrated for soups, salads and sides. And the packet of white sesame seeds provide the all-important garnish for salads and noodle dishes. Finally, the hashi cooking chopsticks are a traditional cooking implement – with the long-handled chopsticks being used to fry food, toss salads, stir sauces and tempura food.  Plus with Reiko Hashimoto’s fantastic book Hashi, enjoy a thorough and accessible introduction to Japanese cuisine. The recipe book replicates Reiko’s famous Japanese cooking classes that she runs from her home in London. Her book guides readers through the basics, then introduces some more adventurous and challenging techniques. Her recipes are precise and clear, and written with lovely style.
