A Little Further Away
Sushi Class & Wine Tasting
WineUDesign, Hicksville 2/14 7:00
$75.00 per person*
Unlock your inner sushi chef…and don’t worry if you don’t like fish, it’s all about the rice and roll.
First learn how the rice is selected and prepared, from rinsing the raw grains to perfectly seasoning the fluffy cooked final product.
Get a little knife skills lesson so nobody hurts themselves. Then choose your ingredients to prepare from the variety of fish and vegetables the chef has selected for the day.
The chef will demonstrate techniques for four rolls-a traditional maki roll, an inside-out roll, a hand roll, and even a soy paper roll, then guide you through making your own.
Class will also include discussions on the sourcing quality fish, accompaniments such as wasabi, ginger, soy, unagi sauce and spicy mayo. Proper slicing and serving techniques of course, as well as use of specialty equipment like the bamboo mat. We’ll even cover the use of chopsticks. No forks, but fingers are ok!
All classes include wine tastings supplied by wineUdesign directly from their
inventory, specially paired by the vintner. Sometimes right out of the barrel.
