Say what? Ichigo Daifuku?

Those cute round balls of mochi stuff filled with strawberry?

Oh yes, it is.

Salutations fellow schoolmates!

You know it! For the month of July, we will be shining our spotlight on one of Japan’s most favourite traditional desserts, Ichigo Daifuku! “Ichigo” translates as strawberry and “Daifuku” is a Japanese sweet cake consisting of a small round glutinous rice cake stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly sweetened red bean paste.

Usually eaten during spring time, Ichigo Daifuku is popular due to its tenderness and sweetness. It is definitely worth something to learn how to make a Japanese sweet dessert!

Originating from China, this dish is goes by numerous other names. “Mandu”? That’s Korean. How about “jiaozi”? That should ring a bell.

Greetings, everyone!

For the month of June, we are once again shining our spotlight and ringing our bells on another popular Japanese dumpling. No, it’s not takoyaki. Said to have been introduced to Japan in the late 17th century, gyoza can be found in supermarkets and restaurants throughout Japan.

Often eaten as finger food or as a side dish accompanying other dishes, the main difference between gyoza and its Chinese counterpart is the rich garlic taste which is present in the Japanese version. Best enjoyed while still steaming hot (can be eaten cold too), Gyoza dumplings are served with a dipping sauce. There are many varieties of gyoza, such as yaki-gyoza (pan-fried), sui-gyoza (boiled), mushi-gyoza (steamed), age-gyoza (deep-fried), or maybe even ebi-gyoza (filled with mashed shrimp). Likewise, various types of fillings for gyoza exists.

Time: 10.00am to 12.00pm, 1.00pm to 3.00pm
