Dining with the Chef

Authentic Japanese Cooking Yakiniku (2017x18)

:

Our theme for this episode is grilling. We'll be making yakiniku, or Japanese-style grilled meats, using beef, pork, and chicken, served with three seasonings and three sauces, for all sorts of delicious combinations. Chef Saito will also demonstrate his skills by beautifully presenting the meat with plenty of fresh vegetables, as well as wasabi, ginger, and umeboshi pickled plum, to give it a Japanese-style accent. We'll also be making thick, hearty, and nutritious barley rice with grated yamaimo Japanese yam: we'll add rolled barley to rice before cooking it, to add plenty of nutrition and a nicely firm texture, and then top it with thick grated yamaimo Japanese yam for a delicious way to beat summer lethargy!
