Cooking with Japanese Chef：Datemaki & Dashimaki Tamago
Momiji / JSS Present
Wed. Nov 24, 2021（in Japanese）3～4 pm
For the second online seminar (via Zoom) of November and the last session of the year 2021 is about two types of Japanese traditional egg cuisine. No need of special tools or hard-to-acquire ingredients ! Let’s learn this recipe to add to your holiday & Oshogatsu menu!
What is this session about?
Thanksgiving and Halloween, then what comes next for you? Each individual/family celebrate its own traditional holiday such as Christmas or Hanukkah. That is one thing; many of us Japanese immigrants from Japan also think (even dream) of New Year feast – Osechi.
Japanese transitional cuisine that uses eggs gives very cheerful colour and fluffy looking to your table. But you might be worried if you can actually acquire special ingredients traditionally used to make Datemaki (hanpen or yamaimo), tools (rectangle pan), or if the smell is too fishy for your family or guests. Well no more of those worries! Japanese Chef Toshi will teach you amazing “Datemaki” and “Dashimaki-Tamago” that do not require any of these ingredients and tool.
Let’s learn together with Toshi again, and consider adding this menu to your holiday feast!
「Fuwa-Toro Datemaki」
No need of Hanpen & Yamaimo – still fluffy and moist!
- Use of maple syrup instead of mirin – moist!
- Adding merengue – smooth & fluffy texture!
*What is Datemaki? Read here (from Japanese Wiki Corpus)
*”fuwa fuwa” = fluffiness / “toro toro” = syrupiness
「Juicy Dashimaki Tamago made with Flying Pan」
No worries if you don’t have a square/rectangle flying pan special to make Tamagoyaki. Use your every-day flying pan!
*What is Dashimaki Tamago? Read here “Tamagoyaki” – one of its type (from Wikipedia)

He has been actively promoting his vision by utilizing his hobby/skill of Ikebana (with the license of an associate professor of Ogasawara-school Ikebana), decorating his restaurant with his Ikebana works, or featured in TV shows in Toronto, aside from his work as a professional chef in a restaurant. He is one of the opening staff as a head chef of the Japanese restaurant Shoushin (匠心), and has served various celebrities like singers, actors and athletes. With his professional service continued to be offered in that location, he also started new endeavor as a YouTuber in fall 2020.
