Join Elizabeth Andoh online. Master the basics of the classic Japanese kitchen.

Learn Japanese cooking techniques for quick, easy and incredibly flavorful dishes you can make anytime. IACP Award-winning cookbook author Elizabeth Andoh is your guide as you learn how to build flavor with Japanese stocks and make your first dish: savory dashi-steeped green beans. Then, uncover the secrets to making colorful, nutritious meals with perfectly cooked rice including salmon-stuffed rice bundles and rainbow big-bowls.

Miso enriches and flavors not only soup but a variety of dishes, including Japanese meatballs. In this class Elizabeth also shares her simple tricks for making quick-pickled veggies, the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Plus, get comfortable cooking Japanese dishes on your stovetop, from salmon teriyaki to blistered peppers and even skillet-seared steak.

And you’ll learn to deep-fry your way to crispy tempura anytime you wish.
