  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  •  1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 3 1/2 ounces dark or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


PREPARATION:

  7. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped chocolate.
  8. Cool to warm (about 20 minutes).
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Kitchen Tools Needed:

A shallow 1 ½ quart baking dish (Almost anything will work here. I often use a glass Pyrex pie plate.)

2 medium-to-large-sized mixing bowls

Whisk  

Chef’s knife

Cutting board

Measuring cups and spoons

Rubber spatula  

Prep prior to the demo: Have all ingredients at room temperature and ready to be combined. Preheat your oven.

 



Blistered Peppers with Lime and Soy Sauce


INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 -16 oz Shishito peppers
  • Olive oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Sea salt (optional)
  • Chili powder (optional)

 

PREPARATION:

In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the peppers with enough olive oil for a thin coating and toss well.
In a 12” skillet, on medium heat, heat up another drizzle of olive oil until it shimmers (but is not smoking)
Place the peppers in the skillet, in a single layer.  You don’t have to be too strict about this. Just be sure that each pepper has some contact with either the sides or bottom of the skillet.
Leave the peppers in the skillet without moving until you hear lots of crackling and sizzling sounds (about 5 minutes.)  Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid letting the pan smoke.
Give the pan a shake or toss the peppers with tongs.   
Continue to cook until the majority of the peppers have blistered and are well-browned in spots.
Off heat, toss the peppers with lime juice, soy sauce, optional sea salt, and your preferred type of chili powder.


Kitchen Tools Needed:

Citrus juicer

Large mixing bowl

12” skillet

Serving dish


Prior to the demo, gather your ingredients so they all are within reach.  No measuring is necessary.



Okonomiyaki with Two Sauces


INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • ½ teaspoon dashi powder*
  • 2 ¼ cups tightly packed shredded cabbage  OR
  • 11 oz thinly sliced pork belly or uncured bacon (turkey or soy bacon will also work)
  • 1 cup baby or (roughly) chopped shrimp
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (vegetarian option, use any mushrooms you like)


GARNISHES:

  • Chopped scallions
  • Katsuobushi (bonito flakes)*
  • Sesame seeds
  • Aonori (powdered dried green seaweed)*

Tonkatsu Sauce: Combine ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 clove garlic minced

Yum-Yum Sauce: Combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ sriracha, honey to taste, soy sauce to taste


PREPARATION:    (PLEASE NOTE: There is a vegetarian option below.)


Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 tablespoon of oil, and the dashi broth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix briefly until most of the lumps of dry flour are gone. Fold in the shredded cabbage.

Set a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lay 3 strips of pork belly or bacon next to each other in it. Once the pork begins to sizzle, let it cook for 2 minutes to render some of the fat.

Alternatively, drizzle some vegetable oil into the pan and add the shrimp.  Cook the shrimp just until it turns opaque/pink.

For a vegetarian version, lightly sauté mushrooms with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of vegetable oil.  Cook the mushrooms until they release their moisture and reduce in volume.

(Note:  We will demo all three versions.)

Spoon half the batter on top and spread into a 1/2-inch-thick layer. (If you're making a vegetarian version, coat the pan with a tablespoon of vegetable oil before adding the batter.)

Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then check the underside.
Once the bottom is crisp and brown, give the pancake a flip with a spatula. Do it confidently and quickly!
Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the okonomiyaki is golden brown on both sides. The inside should be cooked through, but it's fine if it's still a bit moist—the cabbage will give up a fair amount of water.

Slide the okonomiyaki onto a plate and top freely with your sauces.
Sprinkle with aonori, scallions, and a big handful of katsuobushi (unless you've made a vegetarian version).
Serve immediately, then use the remaining pork and batter to make and serve the second okonomiyaki.

Kitchen Tools Needed:

Medium mixing bowl
Small mixing bowl
2 smaller bowls (for the sauces)  
Mixing spoon
Heat-proof rubber spatula (or whatever you use to flip pancakes)
Non stick skillet
Measuring cups and spoons
Chef’s knife
Cutting board
Box grater or micro-plane grater
Optional--squeeze bottles for sauces

Prep Prior to the Demo:

Measure out all ingredients and have them within reach.  I will demo shredding the cabbage, chopping the shrimp, and use of the garnishes.
