Japanese Street Food: Okonomiyaki

Description

Escape to the enchanting streets of Japan as you learn how easy it is to make this iconic street food. The word "okonomiyaki" is derived from "okonomi" meaning "as you like" and "yaki" meaning "grilled. It's commonly referred to as being a Japanese pancake. Accurate to its name, okonomiyaki can be served with a variety of toppings. This class is perfect for anyone who enjoys Asian flavors and wants to learn more about how to recreate these flavors and techniques at home!

In this entertaining, hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in creating the perfect batter that holds everything together. As you create your vegetarian base consisting of cabbage and scallions you will also have the option of topping your artfully crafted Okonomiyaki with shrimp or bacon.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you do not already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. BYOB is restricted. Our venue partner, Duckfoot Brewing will have a great selection of crafted pour available for purchase. To ensure the safety and enriching experience of all participants, we require children aged 14 to 17 be accompanied by a parent or guardian during our cooking classes. Classes are intended for adults 21+.

Meet your instructor

Chef Scott began his culinary career 20 years ago in New York. Having a desire for living a life full of creativity and adventure, he combined his passions for entertaining and food with his love for bringing people together and creating unforgettable moments. Chef Scott has crafted his culinary skills working for some of the top chefs and restaurant groups in New York and Southern California. His eagerness to explore various flavors, the familiar and the unfamiliar, is what makes him a unique chef.

Although Scott started his career 20 years ago, he was always interested in food. Coming from Italian parents who love food and bring the family together over epic cuisines, it is not shocking he made the transition from musician to chef. After taking some time off from being a full time drummer and instructor, Scott decided to attend culinary classes along with apprenticing at his favorite local restaurant. The Chef & Owner was not only an inspiration but mentor in many ways leading him to his goals of cooking and making everyone around him happy through food. It wasn’t long after that the California dream was realized and San Diego was just beginning to find its culinary identity- the perfect template and climate to craft his new culinary ideas.

Absolutely incredible! Everything was laid out and explained so well. Chef Scott was a great teacher and very engaging. And, best of all, the okonomiyaki was DELICIOUS. I will be making this all the time at home.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed Chef Scott’s okonomiaki class. (The hardest thing was learning how to pronounce it!) He was a great, patient instructor who kept the class going at a good pace and was always available for answering questions. The food was delicious and we look forward to serving it to our grown kids in a few weeks!
