Would you like to make your own miso and koji condiment in the comfort of your own kitchen?

Koji ferments are a fundamental element of Japanese cooking also known as a probiotic superfood that helps support digestive system and gut health.

The miso and koji condiments will be made with dried kōji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus Oryzae), and natural sea salt.

The miso is rich in essential minerals and a good source of various B vitamins, vitamins E, K, and folic acid. Koji condiments are known as the all-purpose seasonings as they magically enhance the flavours in our cooking.

In this online workshop you will learn -

○ Chickpea Miso
○ Shio Koji
○ Shoyu Koji
○ Onion Koji
○ Garlic Koji
○ Ginger Koji

The instructor will lead you through the process step-by-step.
The online class is an interactive cook-along.

Upon booking, you will receive the full shopping list, recipes, and a link to the Zoom Class Meeting.

Very much enjoyed the course. Kinu was an excellent teacher, she explained the recipe, gave us tips we can use in other cooking and patiently showed us how to create a delicious curry. I would highly recommend the class.

Amazing!

This is the 6th class I have attended online with Sozai and taught by Kinu. She is an amazing and patient teacher, taking her time to go through each step and happily repeating anything you might have confusion with. Each class I have left with something tasty and delicious, with many of the recipes becoming weekly favourites in my household :)
