Episode Title: Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: Pan-steamed Salmon & Cabbage with Miso Sauce

Air Date: 2015-11-06

Overview:

In this episode, we'll be learning about Chanchan-yaki, a local dish from Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, and our chef Rika will show us her own unique take on the dish. Chanchan-yaki is made by steam-frying salmon with vegetables like cabbage and onions on a griddle, and it's a great example of Hokkaido's hearty cuisine. Rika's slightly spicy miso sauce really brings out the best of the rich, fatty salmon that's in season! We'll also learn about two delicious side dishes made with seasonal Autumn ingredients, like figs and matsutake mushrooms.
