Experience the Art of Handmade Gluten-Free Ramen & Gyoza
Step into my serene Japanese-style home in Osaka and discover the joy of crafting gluten-free Japanese cuisine from scratch. With over 10 years of professional culinary experience and a passion for teaching, I’ve created this hands-on class to bring the authentic flavours of Japan to those with gluten-free needs. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, this immersive experience combines tradition, innovation, and fun.
What to Expect
Your journey begins with a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the ingredients and tools we’ll use. I’ll share tips on Japanese cooking techniques and how I developed gluten-free recipes for dishes traditionally made with wheat.
Making Gluten-Free Ramen Noodles
We’ll start by crafting noodles using rice flour. You’ll learn step-by-step techniques to achieve the perfect chewy texture without gluten, a skill that’s as rewarding as it is fun.
Preparing Soya Sauce Ramen
Next, we’ll make a rich, savoury soy-based broth to pair with your handmade noodles. Soya sauce ramen is a classic and beloved dish that embodies the heart of Japanese cuisine.
Exploring Tomato Ramen
Adding a modern twist, we’ll prepare tomato ramen—a refreshing and tangy variation that’s still rare in Japan. It’s a perfect example of how Japanese culinary traditions can evolve with creativity.
Crafting Handmade Gyoza Wrappers
Moving to gyoza, you’ll create gluten-free dumpling wrappers from rice flour. This hands-on process is both satisfying and practical for recreating at home.
Filling and Cooking Gyoza
Learn how to make a savoury filling and master the art of folding gyoza into beautiful dumplings. We’ll pan-fry them to golden perfection, achieving the ideal crispy outside and tender inside.
Optional Sake Pairing
Enhance your experience with an expertly curated sake pairing. You’ll enjoy three 45ml servings: two chilled sakes (Junmai and Junmai Ginjo) and one warm Junmai, each chosen to complement the flavours of your dishes.
Enjoy Your Creations
Once the cooking is complete, we’ll gather in a cosy dining area to enjoy the fruits of your labour. I’ll guide you through the flavours and how the sake pairing enhances each dish, offering an authentic taste of Japanese dining culture.
