You will learn to prepare Handmade Gyoza, mastering the "fry-steam-fry" method on induction to achieve that iconic golden bottom and tender top.
We will also dive into the soul-warming world of Chicken Katsu Curry, teaching you how to butterfly and bread chicken for the ultimate crunch, paired with a rich, velvety aromatic sauce made from scratch.
