Handmade Asian Noodles: Ramen

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our registration policies here. 

In this edition of Handmade Asian Noodles with Linda, we are going to make a fan-favorite noodle: ramen! A good bowl of ramen is made out of several outstanding components - melt in your mouth chashu, springy alkaline noodles, oozy soy eggs and a deeply flavored broth. And we are going to do all these - from scratch - within class to show that you can have ramen at home within a couple of hours.  Slurp away!
