Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and learn how to create your own fresh sushi rolls like a pro? You are in for a special treat! We will kick off the class with delicious plum wine spritzer to set the mood, then get rolling!
In this highly interactive and hands-on class, Chef Scott will let you in on tips and tricks of making delicious sushi rolls, from preparing the perfect sushi rice, cutting the fresh ingredients properly, and the art of rolling. On the menu is tuna roll with spicy mayo sauce, veggie roll with avocado and cucumber, and "Banh Mi" roll with fresh pickled vegetables and cilantro for a fun twist. You are invited to let your creativity flow and try rolling with seaweed both inside and out and mix and match different ingredients to develop your own unique edition.
No experience is required! We will send you the equipment and ingredients list, which are easy to find and you may already have them in your home kitchen. If you don't have all ingredients, do not despair! Some ingredients can be easily substituted and our Chef will teach you how to make the most of what you already have on hand. Just make sure you have these essential ingredients: short or medium grained rice (sushi rice works best), seaweed nori sheets, rice vinegar, canned tuna, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and any other vegetables of your choice. If you are able to source fresh, sushi-grade fish such as salmon or tuna, fantastic! The Chef will be able to guide you on how to cut the fish properly if you will be using fresh fish, but it is not required and the Chef will be using canned tuna for the demonstration. Soy sauce, sriracha, and mayonnaise will be the base for the sauces you will make. We will need plum wine to mix a delicious plum wine spritzer! You will have an opportunity to interact with the Chef and ask questions throughout the session.
Prepare your mis-en-place and cook your rice ahead of the session, grab your drinking glasses, and get ready to join a fun virtual cooking party! Ticket is on a per-person basis. Please note our class time is in the Eastern Time Zone!
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.
