Description
The Asian supermarket HMart’s aisles are chock full of treasures: sauces, noodles, dumplings, rice, tofu, fresh Korean prepared foods, an ocean of fish and seaweed, teas, condiments galore and so much more. The football-field size store and unfamiliar ingredients can make for a daunting shopping experience. Join Debra Samuels, author of two cookbooks: “The Korean Table” and “My Japanese Table” for a curated tour around most of the market to acquaint you with this wonderful resource. We will learn how to set up our own Asian pantry and end the tour with refreshment in the food court.
The second session of the class will be an online cooking class in the comfort of your own kitchen. You will learn to make simple miso soup, stir-fry Chinese greens, marinate rib- eye slices in savory Korean spices and learn how to properly cook short/medium grain rice, also known as sushi rice.
Debra Samuels is a cookbook author, food and travel writer and cooking teacher. Debra has lived abroad for more than a decade in Japan and Italy, where she studied Italian, Korean and Japanese cuisine.
