Japanese cooking class

Ohayoo gozaimasu!!  (ohio-go-si-mus)  Good morning!  Well, it is here anyway. :)

The base here does a lot of activities to get everyone involved: classes, tours, events, etc.  I decided to sign up for the Japanese cooking class which they offer once a month.  

This month recipes were sweet tofu wrapped rice balls, potato croquettes and egg pudding.   

I actually expected to be cooking myself, but when I walked in to see only 2 stoves I knew that wouldn't be happening.  

Probably for the best. 

Instead, 3 sweet Japanese ladies took over and showed us how to make each part of the meal.  They did give us a hand out with recipes, but while they were cooking I slowly realized they were not following the recipe AT. ALL.  Even the ingredients were different!

Sooooooo....egg pudding.  

This was gross.  

It has cooked chicken in the bottom and crab on top.  They steam the eggs so it's similar to a custard.

Again, g-ross.  

{ta-da!}

Overall, I'd go back to another class.

Let's hope next time they are doing ramen.

Ja mata!!  (see you later)
