Dining with the Chef

Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: Three Ginger Dishes

In this episode, we’ll be preparing three of Chef Rika’s specialties made with ginger, perfect for the summer heat! Our first dish is a salad made with ginger and cucumber — we’ll learn about useful knife techniques, as we prepare a refreshing dish that takes advantage of crisp uncooked ginger. Our second dish is fried oysters with a ginger seasoning, coated with a crunchy breading to seal in the flavor. Last, we’ll be making sui-gyoza boiled dumplings filled with a mixture of pork and shrimp seasoned with grated ginger, and topped with Rika’s sesame sauce, made with plenty of finely chopped ginger. These three simple recipes offer easy ways to master different uses for ginger!
