BentoYa is proud to partner up with Veecoco, one of the leading platforms for online vegan cooking courses. Our head chef, Akiko Sugawara is now conducting an exciting course on authentic vegan sushi and ramen.
Fair warning: This will make you hungry, so have your cooking utensils at the ready!
The course takes you through the entire experience of making vegan sushi and ramen. This includes:
Akiko grew up on a rural farm just north of Sendai, Japan. A lifelong cooking enthusiast, she spent her childhood mastering the family recipes, which drew heavily from traditional Japanese culinary practices that relied on an abundance of whole foods to create hearty and healthy vegetable-filled dishes.
She later moved to Canada, and embraced veganism. Upon her return to Japan, she started BentoYa Cooking, in order to provide vegans with the opportunity to enjoy vegan twists on traditional Japanese dishes.
This is a great online course for anyone who wants to learn at their own pace from home. The online videos contain careful step-by-step instructions and is highly beginner-friendly.

In Japan, the vegetable and fruit selection changes with the seasons. Seasonal vegetables are often budget-friendly and a great way to add variation to your cooking.
Modoki ryori refers to food which uses plant-based ingredients to mimic the appearance, taste and texture of meat dishes. This type of dishes are common in shojin ryori and they have also achieved a certain mainstream popularity due to the health factor of eating vegetable-rich meals.
Chuka ryori (中華料理) refers to Japanese-Chinese dishes which originate from China, but have been adjusted to fit the style and taste of the Japanese palette. Dishes that belong to this group are for example ramen, gyoza and harumaki.
