Join us for this family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん OUCHIGOHAN and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen!

This October, it’s the Onigiri Action Halloween Bash! We will be making:

Onigiri (Salmon or Tuna) are hand-shaped rice balls filled with flaky salmon or creamy tuna mayo. We’ll also show you how to decorate them in cute, festive ways for Halloween.
Pumpkin (Kabocha) Soup is a cozy fall dish made with smooth, naturally sweet pumpkin. It’s comforting and simple to make, perfect for warming up on a crisp fall day.
Spinach Ohitashi, a classic Japanese side dish dressed with katsuo flakes or sesame seeds for a vegetarian option. It’s light, flavorful, and a nice balance to the meal.

This class will be taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Wa-Shokuiku, a program of TABLE FOR TWO USA. Debra is an author of two cookbooks and co-author of Japanese Cooking for Kids, TFT’s new cookbook and the 2020 recipient of the John E. Thayer III Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cultural Exchange Between the United States and Japan.

The class is also part of Onigiri Action, an initiative aimed at providing 1 million school meals to children in need. Don’t forget to snap a photo of your onigiri and share it with the hashtag #onigiriaction!
