Ramen Revival
Instructor: Tess Georgakopoulos
Ramen noodles may be humble, but with a little creativity and flair, they can be taken to a whole new level being transformed into a restaurant-worthy meal. Join Chef Tess for this fun filled cook-along adventure and learn to turn this humble noodle into a truly special meal using high-quality proteins, fresh vibrant vegetables, and Asian pantry stables. Learn to elevate texture and taste, marinate the protein, and prepare the vegetables and how to build bold, balanced flavors by crafting a rich full- flavorful sauce. Then discover a few simple cooking techniques for layering the ingredients and the flavors to create depth, texture, and visual appeal in every serving. Whether you are a busy home cook or a curious foodie, you will walk away with serious ramen inspiration and the skills to continue to turn a simple pack of Ramen noodles into a healthy, nutritious gourmet experience!
