Join us for a hands-on Japanese cooking experience in London hosted and taught by Kotomi, a Japanese chef and founder of KotoGohan. Tempura is much more than simply coating ingredients in batter and deep-frying them. It is a delicate Japanese cooking technique that brings out the natural flavour, moisture and aroma of each ingredient.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll discover what makes great tempura and learn how to prepare it yourself using seven different ingredients.
Whether you’re new to Japanese cooking or simply curious about Japanese food culture, this is an opportunity to explore tempura through your own senses.
What you’ll learn:
  • How to make a light and delicate tempura batter.
  • How to adjust frying techniques for different ingredients.
  • The importance of temperature and timing.
  • How to bring out the natural flavour, aroma and texture of each ingredient.
What to expect:
  • Discover the culture and philosophy behind Japanese tempura.
  • Watch Kotomi demonstrate seven different types of tempura.
  • Prepare all seven types yourself, working in pairs with personal guidance from Kotomi.
  • Enjoy your freshly fried tempura and discover the differences between ingredients.
