If you've ever traveled to the Pacific Northwest, found yourself in need of quick food and searched your phone, chances are you came across many teriyaki restaurants, most of them specializing in ‘Seattle Style’ Chicken Teriyaki. This Japanese dish, altered with American influences, is a popular take out classic and for good reason. It's quick, delicious, and no matter what mood you’re in it seems to hit the spot. Savory teriyaki marinated chicken, bright cabbage slaw, creamy pasta salad and cozy sesame rice coalesce on a single plate in an epic East meets West cuisine. Thankfully, you don't have to travel 3000 miles to partake in this west coast delight. This class will show you how to make all the fixings yourself so you can enjoy it anytime you please. You'll also learn about other applications of teriyaki sauce, how to make sesame ginger dressing, and the Japanese concept of ‘gaman’. Enjoy a taste of the Emerald City for dinner anytime you want at home, just don't count on there being any leftovers. This is a participatory cooking class. A small group of 3-4 students will work together at each cooking station to complete the recipes on the night's menu.
