DESCRIPTION:On&nbsp\;<strong>Saturday\, August 26 at 2PM\,</strong>&nbsp\;t
 he&nbsp\;<strong>Okinawa Association of America (OAA) in Gardena</strong>&
 nbsp\;will host a special hands-on cooking workshop to make sātā andāg
 ī (often referred to as &ldquo\;Okinawan dango&rdquo\;).\n\n<strong>Sāt
 ā andāgī</strong>&nbsp\;- which literally means &ldquo\;sugar&rdquo\; +
  &ldquo\;deep fried&rdquo\; in the Okinawan language - can be found at Nik
 kei events across Los Angeles\, but the traditional methods of cooking the
 se festival favorites are slowly being forgotten.\n\nThere are noticeable 
 differences depending on how the sātā andāgī are prepared. The OAA inv
 ites interested persons to learn one of the old-fashioned Okinawan process
 es\, which not only emphasizes flavor\, shape\, and density but also how y
 ou mix the dry ingredients. Other important factors include using your han
 ds to scoop and drop the dough into the oil (instead of the more convenien
 t ice cream scooper) and using a very precise temperature (not too hot\, n
 ot too low).\n\n<strong>Since the traditional recipes and cooking methods 
 are not being widely utilized\, the goal of this and subsequent workshops 
 is to pass these on to the next generation.\n</strong>\nThe cooking worksh
 op will be followed by a short lecture about sātā andāgī presented by 
 the&nbsp\;<strong>OAA&rsquo\;s Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan language) instructor
  Chogi Higa</strong>.\n\n<strong>Admission is $5 for OAA members and $10 f
 or the public.</strong>&nbsp\;A limited number of participants can be acce
 pted for the hands-on cooking portion due to limited space\, so please&nbs
 p\;<strong>RSVP by August 21 (Monday):&nbsp\;310-532-1929\,&nbsp\;<a href=

 trong>&nbsp\;(Even if the spots are filled\, people are still encouraged t
 o observe the lecture portion of the workshop)\n\nThe OAA Center is locate
 d at&nbsp\;<strong>16500 South Western Avenue in Gardena (event in the Yam
 auchi Building).\n</strong>\nThis workshop is being organized in coordinat
 ion with the OAA&rsquo\;s Okinawan Bazaar (October 8)\, which is the only 
 annual event in Los Angeles that celebrates Okinawan culture.
