Thank you in advance for preparing the necessary supplies and ingredients for this class. Some items may be difficult to source in your local area, so I recommend looking through the list well in advance to allow time for ordering online as needed. 
If you cannot source some ingredients, it's okay, please just pick the closest substitution. I understand the costs can add up, especially for a one-time class, but some condiments are staples in Japanese cooking, and are great to have on hand, or for upcoming Ai Sensei's Japanese Kitchen classes. 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

NO-STOVE RECIPES: Recipes are meant to be kid-friendly and will not use a stove. 
However, knives and microwaves will be used. 

KNIVES: A butterknife is perfectly fine for this lesson, since we will be only cutting soft items. 

MICROWAVE: Please be available to help your child take out hot items from the microwave. This part can be especially dangerous if the microwave is located above the child's height.
