⏰ Service 35 — Japanese Dinner for Two
← Block 29–30: Japanese Cuisine Overview
Goal: A composed Japanese meal of 3–4 courses using techniques from Sessions 1–4
Suggested structure: 1. Miso soup (from your dashi, with tofu and wakame seaweed) 2. Something fried: Agedashi tofu or tempura (see Session 142 for tempura technique — cook this block in any order) 3. Main: Teriyaki chicken or salmon; or a nimono dish; or ramen as a centerpiece course 4. Rice: Properly cooked Japanese short-grain rice (see Session 142 note); served with pickled vegetables (tsukemono) — even quick-pickled cucumber in rice vinegar works
