Tempura is an elegant Japanese fried dish of mixed vegetables and seafood. In this class, you’ll learn to make restaurant-quality tempura from seasonal fish, shrimp, eggplant, broccoli, sweet potato and more! We’ll pair our tempura with an authentic dipping sauce called Tsuyu, made with soy sauce, seasonings and fresh toppings like grated daikon radish and special salt.

We’ll also explore knife skills and the science behind making perfectly light and fluffy batter every time.
