The Fusion Table: Modern Sushi Classics
Get hands-on with fusion sushi!
Join Chef Shaun for a high-energy, interactive sushi-making class that puts a modern twist on traditional techniques. Perfect for beginners and sushi enthusiasts alike, this hands-on experience will teach you the foundations of sushi-making while exploring bold, creative flavor combinations inspired by contemporary fusion cuisine. With Chef Shaun’s step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to prepare perfectly seasoned sushi rice, master the art of rolling, and create restaurant-worthy presentations that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
What You'll Make:
You'll prepare three unique fusion-inspired sushi rolls, each designed to showcase a different combination of flavors, textures, and techniques.
You'll begin with the Teriyaki Glaze Roll, learning essential knife skills and rolling techniques as you combine tender teriyaki chicken, crisp cucumber, and pickled carrots, finished with toasted sesame seeds and a rich sweet soy drizzle. Next, you'll create the Honey Sriracha "Sweet & Heat" Roll, mastering the inside-out (uramaki) style while balancing spicy-sweet flavors with imitation crab, cucumber, avocado, and fresh scallions. Finally, you'll craft the colorful Garden Fusion Roll, featuring fresh seasonal vegetables and modern garnishes that highlight how vibrant and satisfying vegetarian sushi can be.
Along the way, Chef Shaun will cover sushi rice fundamentals, precision ingredient preparation, traditional and inside-out rolling methods, and plating techniques that elevate your creations from homemade to restaurant-quality.
Whether you're planning a date night, a fun outing with friends, or simply looking to learn a new culinary skill, this class offers the perfect blend of hands-on learning, creativity, and delicious food. All tools and ingredients are provided!
